Smin talked about Exported F.3R : in such Indian Rafales were exported with those SP3 pylons, which makes it “accurate” - again Gaijin is mixing aircraft of same standards from diverse nations to make them “interesting” to the eyes of the “PlayerBase”
in such, it is done as Mirage 2000-5F (which is mixing -5 mk2 of Greeks and -9 from the UAE Airforces - even worse as it’s completely different standards on this one)
real balance should be to put MICA-EM at 80km range, and not the 50km frankenstein that came from nowhere (even MICA-IR, the shortest variant is stated at 60km range)
wrong again,… as per Smin explanation - Indian Rafale F.3R have both those.
India uses SOP-EH, not standard F.3Rs.
not really no one cares anymore rmv got aasm, 2000-5f has 2 extra magics, this has been happening for a while its a very niche bunch who want a 100% accurate aircraft no matter the cost
And they still can, taking 6 micas is still an option
It doesn’t give them the high they want from taking this meaningless stance clearly cause otherwise they’d just move on with their 6 mica loadout in game
Interestingly, in a Rafale documentary called “Rafale Confidential” published in 2014, this is seen for a French Rafale aircraft, the extra 2 pylons is seen as “open” to being used in the cockpit, indicating the wiring exists for the aircraft.
there is a difference between the situation with m2k 5f/rafale and RMV, and that is that 5f/rafale got its weaponary bcs other countries carried those pylons/weapons, but RMV got its hammers bcs a certain 2000N testbed was made to testfire AASM, and the D series was made on the 2000N base, and i dont know how i feel about it since obv 2000 D R1 didnt get the hammers, that might be because of the age of that plane and the hammer, but still idk how to feel abt it.
marketing lie (this is a joke)
Just noticed the 2 little RWR(?) bits on lower forward section of the fuselage are not green, like the other things that someone said were RWR bits. On the pictures of Rafales with French circles, it seems they’re green IRL. Is this wrong or am I finding poor representations of it?
If you’re referring to Direct Support’s screenshot those are the pylons for the targeting pod
No, look at the model in game. The lil bits on the underside of the fuselage on the Rafale’s model are no longer green. The rest of the surfaces similar to it are green. But these ones are not.
what proves that? i mean, you can have the software to be ready, but no wires behind it,… nothing is proving that wires are there ^^"
only that software is ready for them.
because : Software =/= Wires
it’s alike putting a button for a VBA program, but nothing is coded so triggerring it doesn’t do anything
man, i will be grinding the Rafale now, thanks everybody for your hard work with getting the extra missiles !!
Why are people pissed Rafale getting 8 pylons instead of 6 ? It was already nerfed to the ground enough (no properly modelled AESA + no MICA-IR)
If they are really defending realism and not just complaining because they have to play competent now, let’s give MICA-IRs and the AESA radar to the Rafale. But I don’t see them defending that
Getting extra missiles and fucking up the CMs. One step forward, half a dozen backwards.
i didnt pay attention, what happened to the CM?
We lost 32 large caliber (good) for 16 large caliber (eh) and a handful of standard caliber (more eh)
Bruh…
