Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance - Part 2

Yeah, I probably can confirm this, flying J-10A with its rollrate is really easy to break your wing. So I guess that’s the reason why, Mirage 2000 also used to have this, and now have intentionally nerfed rollrate too.

You know, I like the Rafale and all. After all, it’s the best jet in the game as of now. Buuuuut, don’t you think it’s time for another buff ? What do you think we might get with the new update ?

The Rafale got increased to BR 14.3, so maybe it is necessary for the Rafale to get buffed. Hopefully developers will agree.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we got another set of buffs for the third major update in a row. Question now as you said is which one. I’ve been told though by certain users that the Rafale can’t get FM buffs.

If anything it should receive an FM nerf due to SEP at high altitude.

No worries with that, I will be reporting it soon ahead of the dev-server. The fact is that yes while the Rafale shouldn’t have rocket ship acceleration at Mach 1.8-Mach 2, that only affects the initial gameplay in the beginning of a match particularly for air rb.

But the truth is that the Rafale is underperforming in many other ways in terms of flight performance, underperforming in more areas than overperforming, particularly when these are areas where it is more relevant to natural gameplay or the majority of gameplay.

Rafale should not be accelerating past Mach 2 // Gaijin.net // Issues

What I find amazing is that people are now crying since Hornet sting about Rafale and the one time you offer a nerf only a few ppl upvotes it. That’s very interesting.

There’s a M88-4E? I thought it ended with M88-3 that never left prototype stage.

M88-4E is just a small upgrade it inmproved the time between maintenances and fuel comsumption mainly.

Its actually called M88-2E4, not -4E (which could be just an internal designation).

Ah yeah. I knew something seemed wrong with just 4E.

Both names are correct and can be used.

I’ve also seen both designations on Dassault public documents on my part. Seems like another French naming convention - that is a very approximate one. Just like the cannon. You can find GIAT 30M791, or KNDS France 30 M791.
Or the OSF which is called OSF just as much as OFS, both in French and English docs.
Or capitalisation of systems. I see Mica almost as often as MICA

well, yes and it seems normal,… once again Gaijin gave us a F.3R not a F.2.1

there will be buffs incoming for the Rafale in many and various forms.

i just hope to get a M variant in game.
