Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

i KNEW it wasnt just me
idk why but HMD locks are SOOOO unreliable.
maybe their lock acquisition time is way too short?

I dont know tbh but this problem occurs on almost any plane.

I just did an experiment for low speed turns of Rafale, Mirage 2K5F, Eurofighter and F-4F ICE, all with 25min fuel and only A2A loadout :
Rafale :

Mirage 2000-5F :

German Eurofighter :

F-4F ICE :

Also I only noticed during this experiment, but F-4F ICE doesn’t drop below 447kmh in turn fights, even with its combat flaps on

They changed EFT’s pilot model to real life counterpart, meanwhile they refused my bug report and claimed there are limited pilot models in this game.

Its obvious Gaijin doesnt care Rafale as much as they care EFT, they could’ve just accept my report and implement it later but instead they straight up refused it…

Because F4’s flight model is overperforming in sustain turn rate, i believe it was already reported or was about to.

Rafale F4 (F4.2 standard), MICA NG pylons from cdk file

But I suppose in the future gajin add MICA NG (active radar homing medium-range missile) before MICA NG (IR) and Meteor

I might expect french Rafale M F1 Late or F2.2

Odd. But yeah, you guys can also watch the videos to compare turn rates in practice

Can you drop a vid, I’m curious.

Do we have numbers? Videos are notably less consistent to interpret.

Seems like I didn’t get the update when I made the previous post, I restarted the game and the TWS now works properly.

Sorry about that.

Sadly no. But after watching both videos at the same time on my screens (Rafale vs Eurofighter), I can say Rafale turns notably faster at 350kmh, but using the 2MICA + 2Magic2 loadout

all gud

they changed the EF pilot model to the Gripen’s model.
just a lucky coincidence that its the same

They also mentioned a Swedish HMD model, but did not actually add it. Very strange that they ignored these and made a dedicated pilot model for EFT.

I dislike Rafale’s HMD tho, the one in the game rn, very uninformative

They actually used to use them in Gripen and this is a good change.

It is very useful for people who play ground attack.

What of full air to air with each or min fuel?

can’t take full air to air since I just completed 3/4 research of Rafale and haven’t started researching the German EF yet.
