i just flies like straight at any range from what i saw
I did a quick check, 5 degree loft on live and 5 degree loft on the latest github still, so there was no loft change in that aspect.
Would be weird anyway for there to be no loft on MICA (8:30 timestamp), video published prior to Meteor integration on Rafales.

the mica wasnt changed
Previous to today, we only had the AM39 Exocet Block 2 model, today we now have the actual blk file that tells us how it’ll behave. The good thing is that we get to preview its performance and see what needs to be changed.
Yeah, because it massively nerfs the Rafale, as it can consistantly hit these very high G loads, whilst I dont think it will have ANY impact at all on the Typhoon as it cannot.
Given just how much the Rafale is overperforming. Its a much appreciated change. Just need to fix its drag now. Like actually give it the same drag as every other aircraft in-game. Though maybe they’ll finally buff the Typhoon’s FM with these changes.
So maybe you need a reality check?
I tested the FM a bit on dev server.
Where I was able to hit 13/14g’s before I know cap at 12. So I think it does in fact impact the Eurofighter.

Ive never gotten that high in the Typhoon in “real world” conditions.
Rarely get above 10 with actual warload and enough fuel for a typical match.
Whislt ive seen Rafales hitting like 18Gs
Forgot to mention I meant clean wing config.
As I usually duel in custom lobbies, and I definitely hit 13/14g’s with no armament before.
Can’t do the same now.
On live yeah, on dev now it caps at 14.
So proportionally its a far higher nerf for the Rafale. Though if the Typhoon caps at 12, why does the Rafale cap at 14. Should they not be both capped to the same amount?
Just tested on live in my usual config, I briefly hit 11G, so it doesnt affect me at all
I have no idea on this tbh, sorry.
Especially given the Rafale should be lower than the Typhoon I think. So maybe it needs to be reported.
That already happened when the supercruise nerf came, it nerfed its drag which affected acceleration and topspeed effectively. You’re still stuck in 2025 tbh.

I personally dont really consider min fuel and clean wings as a relevant test. 80% max fuel with full weapons fit is far more representative
And iirc, it is still waaaaaay overperforming and needs further nerfs. It still has like half the drag of any other aircraft in-game
According to who and what?
Well fair, but it still doesn’t change the fact that in certain situations the change shows.
Fair, but still. No more rafales doing 18-22G turns at high alt with no speed loss is gunna be great.
Just need them to buff the Typhoons FM up to IRL specs now.
That’s absolute cap lmao.
You can’t compare the “usual EFT load” to a clean rafale with min fuel in very specific configuration reaching 18G.
In most normal games and loads you won’t reach above 12-13G in the rafale, so the nerf to both planes is about as significant

They gave it a long burn time of 150s while it should be 120s afaik
Spoiler
Max distance seem all right, warhead as well, though not that powerful. IDK what the TNT equivalent of pbxn_3 is in game
Spoiler
We also get the timeToHit => Altitude table :
Spoiler
200 - 35s = 200m
35 - 7s = 50m
7 - 3s = 30m
3 - 0s = 1.5m
Seems on part with Harpoon, assuming it wasn’t simply copy pasted
Finally :
Spoiler
All here seems good, except max speed, which is a bit lower than what it should be, but idk if that’s purely stat card or not, and the name of the missile, which is the rbs15, which may indicate they are working on this one in parallel too
tnt equal should be around 78kg if the multiplier is 1.29 (back calculated from the an ingame missile using it)
