Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Rafale>Gripen>EFT for me i Like the rafale the more and consider it the best both in look and capabilites, then the gripen
because i like it concept of a lightweight cheap home defence fighter and i find it look cool, then last the EFT mainly because i find it ugly, very capable air superiority fighter but lacks in other department.

No. No one has supplied sources that Rafale F3R can’t use HMD.
Partially cause HMD was at least tested with the previous version of Rafale.

but but but it was only tested !!! that doesnt count !!! shake my smh

I’ve always imagined the rafale and typhoon to be sidegrades to one another rather than saying X is entirely better (despite me liking the typhoon more but thats off topic :3 )

uhm did i say something wrong? i was dramatizing on purpose if that was the case

The lastest datamine roll back to Rafale C F3-R and lose features F4 standard (Scorpion HMCS, GMTI, MICA NG and 8 MICA)

I don’t mind if gajin decompressing battle rating to 14.3 and magic 2 replace with MICA IR

Removed helmet mounted display from F-15E only

well if thats the case we are fucked, the plane din’t look to be in good spot already but without hmd it will be simply thrash

François LEMAINQUE said that it is only on the A variant, and then remove since de C variant came out.

Datamine never said HMD removed.Stop spreading fake news.

What is the matter with the arrest hook?

I’m just wondering the latest datamine only.

In some ways it objectively is. For example sustained turn rate should be 20°/s with 4,300 kg of fuel and four missiles. Apparently it was about 18°/s when the dev server closed.

It’s just a matter of naming.

The arrest hook didn’t work during the dev server

But you know it’s not meant to be use on carriers anyway right? As far as i know, to use it, we should have some “brins d’arrêt d’urgence” on airfields.
(Sorry i don’t know the english for that, it’s the strings wich you can hook on…)

The arrest hook does work, it just does not extend. This has been reported.

Don’t worry I understand what you mean (je suis francais moi aussi)
The arresting hook on the Rafale is similar to those present on the F-16 or F-15 for emergency landings on airfields.

However, given the way it is modeled in game, it can be used to land on an aircraft carrier.

Really? That’s sweet :)

It looks like they might consider call it F.4 afterall, wich would simplify everything…
