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

Please keep things clean. There is already a thread to discuss about the Eurofighter AND the Rafale (quite literally created to avoid the discussion you two are having here), so please either drop it or move it entirely.

This thread is about the Rafale, nothing else.

The message is for both of you since you’re both part of the discussion. Now drop it please.

leave other planes out of it in the first plane and others wont take issue
but you dont seem to get that, pampered is quite the wrong word, when compared of the own state of the rafale.
Words like that will only be taken negative, specialy if your own plane is as a fact just way more pampered.

It is just a bad outlook for you and will invite the wrong reactions as a result

whoaaa wait they get radar contacts on the map??

yes but the contacts are not static on the map

they still use the scaling from the radar scope

so if you change the radar scope to a higher distance, the targets will apear as if they are closer on the map

Unfortunately it seems that the Rafale didn’t get lots of TLC even in regards to stuff that wouldn’t impact its performance this patch as this patch seems to have been focused on bringing other vehicles/tech trees to the Rafale’s performance. My hope is that 14.7 is introduced sometime soon and some vehicles including the Rafale is moved up to that battle-rating, as that would/could justify more work on the Rafale. Increasing the Rafale’s battle-rating (alongside the Su-30SM2 and AESA-EFT) would lower its statistical performance. For now we’ll have to bide our time.

Safe to say that the hardest part of Rafale gameplay is not overspeeding the damn thing?

Like, I be at 101% throttle and the thing still wants to break its wings lmao.

VnE increase will resolve the issue.

Hopefully we will learn the truth soon whether if current VnE is true or not thanks to @DirectSupport

All fingers crossed for buff.

@DirectSupport I’m struggling with this report;
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/CVyDOzKEgByo

You claimed this is a 140° PPI display but its the same 120° display but stretched?
Original in the report;


Corrected aspect matches the other 120° PPI display;

Same video but in the original 4:3;

Do you have any evidence of a 140° PPI display other than what was in this report?

Sure, you wanna take a look at this?

Looks like those are all ±65° (130° total)



Beat me to it, the ~5° off is likely because the image is taken at an angle.

actually those PPI displays are squished top to bottom so thats where the extra 5° comes from;

Example of a not squished version;

@Flame2512 Is the overall topic on whether or not the Rafale’s AESA capable of 140 degree gimbal?
