Ok, didn’t know there was further development on the R27 family aside from the variants in game, so took me a while to understand what he meant
I think it’s just a proposed modification for the Ukranian ETs, so not the russian ones, I don’t know if they are just a brochure or reality though.
Shouldve just used the kh38mt ir seeker as it has an infrared resolution comparable to a targeting pod. So you can target enemies 200km away.
Passed to devs
Yeah it make sense f3r with only em, f4.1 which normally doesn’t bring much, but with ir and em and f4.2 with ng of both types eventually, now i can only hope for a pesa rafale.
They could also just buff the regular seeker head already in the game since it’s already underperforming a bit if I remember correctly
Pesa Rafale as rank 8 premium, would be the easiest money Gaijin can make…
Rafale f1 would make the most sense honestly as a premium, eventually some export rafale if they really want i guess.

No thank you. I dont want a best FM and insane avionics not even gimped plane as a premium 👍

Yeah, let’s just say that the MKK set the premium bar quite high at this point, in 2026 I could expect something like the Rafale you mentioned or a T1 Typhoon.

or maybe even a gripen
Can’t make sense of what you are saying here ?
The F4.1 and F3R have basically identical air loadouts, while the F4.2 brings MICA NG for at least the IR (testified) and probably the EM (not known if testified yet).
Or alternatively the F4.1 might get both NG missiles, since the differences between the F4.1 and F4.2 are so minor even IRL
Nevermind i forgot a comma, i meant f4.1 would be pretty much the same as f3.r so making it different with mica ir was the best thing.

I would also much rather have a Rafale C “F.4” implement, which basically summerizes F.4.1, F.4.2 and F.4.3 - Also brings some visual (internal and external) differences;
for context; this is one of the two first french airforce F.4.2 which were seen last year
Kinda surprised one isn’t out yet
Considering the rafale C is still called a C F3 despite being a F3R makes me think that is what will happen. Aside from maybe very slight 3D model difference due to antenna differences, the 3 variants would be absolutely identical in game. I also don’t see Gaijin paywalling the MICA IR to a F4 and straight up give it to either both the C and M F3Rs, or if they feel spicy, only to the Rafale M (which would absolutely be a dick move if you ask me), while the F4 would have the NG variants
I mean, it is called F-3R in the statcard, just not in the main menu stuff, which is what still confuses me.

I say M LF.1 as premium and M F.1 or F.2 as tech tree.
