I would think it would be a reduction in cost for the future French NGF if they upgrade and implement technologies on the Rafale. Hopefully the new engines also means that more thrust will be available to power all the systems on-board.

Can I ask?how to visually differentiate between Rafale f3r and f4?I would love it if you guys could tell that(this is so hard lol!)

2515

Now the question is; which F.4?

Between F.3R and F.4.1, there is barely any difference visually. Mostly just the HMCS fiducials on the canopy glass.

The F.4.2 however has a flat antenna in front of the stabilizer.

I see. I’m not really sure about that (Cause I dunno), but if you want,maybe you can help me show the visual differences between the F3/4 variants :>

Figured I’d give you guys an update on things.

A former technical moderator/Gaijin staff is alleged to have had fakes in his reports. This former Gaijin staff member will now have ALL of his reports closed and was prolific in making reports as well as passing reports.
Leclerc S1 incorrect name // Gaijin.net // Issues

Here’s a comment that Gaijin has made on a report of his, a report from before his time as a technical moderator (the title that was given to him).

This doesn’t bode well for Rafale reports as he passed a non-insignificant amount of Rafale reports, and so it leaves questions as to what happens to all of the reports they had passed. If the reports he passed are all on hold until another staff member can re-review them, then that would mean most Rafale reports will not see implementation into the game until they have been reviewed again.

so uhhh

the system is working as it should?
if someone uses fake sources obviously all their reports need to be re evaluated or closed because there is a good chance they have fake sources too.

Would be willing to place money on them counting these reports reviewed, and flagged not to action them, instead of making re-review a priority.
