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

18-19g can be readily attained in Sim without the use of trim on low fuel loads.

G-Loading of up to 30G can be attained with the use of trim.

Also using trim to increase turn performance is not an exploit. I know because the video I made was used to attempt to report it.

30 Gs is ridiculous, no way the wings don’t spontaneously combust

So I tried my best to really break the plane with mouse-aim but couldn’t, shouldn’t change anything much in air rb.

As I said above, it will mostly change the compartment in sim and maybe with the AOA button at like 600-700kph.
I personally never realistically exceeded 16G (aside from rolling and pulling at the same time) in the rafale.

I had noticed that the F-14 engine response time got passed and implemented so figured I’d do one for the Rafale.

Thanks to Mulatu for an important source for the report.

Alright I thought it will pull 1-2 g less now

Got accepted yaya now will wait for the implementation

is the nerf live now ? i can’t pull more than 15Gs at m 1.2 - 5000m , (can pull 15Gs for 1 sec n its limited to 14Gs).

The nerf never affected the actual pull capability of the aircraft, just the structural strength of the aircraft (wing rip strength).

Why is the RBE2 radar slower than the F-2A’s? Considering their introduction dates, it feels like it should be faster than the F-2A.

AESA RBE2 and J/APG-2 are from similar time + the Japanese had far more experience with AESA, and the RBE2 is a pretty small radar, so it makes sense that the J/APG-2 is quicker than Rafale’s RBE2

J/APG2 is even smaller than RBE2 dude, that doesnt make any sense.

not really, they made the nose bigger than F-16 to accomodate the larger JAPG-1/2 radars vs. Rafale which afaik didnt getting enlarged nose

Doesnt matter if F-2A has bigger nose than regular F-16.

JAPG-2 is still smaller than RBE2.

j/apg2 has more trm than the rb e2 aa no?

The J/APG-1 had 1,216 TR modules, compared to 838 TR modules on the RBE2 AESA. I imagine the J/APG-2 has at least as many modules and J/APG-1.

yeah i just assumed j/apg 2 had more modules too

wym by smaller?

Both have the same T/R amount, difference being J/APG-2 using GaN.

But I am unsure which one has more Watts (P/M) and process faster / more efficient, when it comes to RBE2-AA and J/APG-2.
