It’s literally something that never existed, so cannot be represented by either of your categories.
I’m french too, and i’ve seen several amount weird things too.
Damn everytime a thread about a top tier french aircraft is made, it always end being a breeding ground for completly useless arguments over and over lmao
super sad
@WaretaGarasu, do you know how radar locking a target with the HMS works on the Rafale?
In the F-16, for example, the pilot switches to ACM and then to Bore (JHMCS then automatically slaves it). Now, the radar is constantly scanning the boresight for a target (no need to click anything to lock a target), just like ACM does in War Thunder.
In the MiG-29/Su-27, the pilot switches to a separate HMS mode, lines up the sight with the target, presses and holds the lock switch until the radar locks the target.
I am thinking of doing a bug report / suggestion on this. In WT, we have to press for the HMS to lock a target, which execute a very brief search (usually 0.2 s). As anybody here who has played this game would tell you, HMS locking is very inconsistent and you have to mash the lock button, which itself runs the risk of accidentally breaking lock too. So I am collecting some info for other aircraft.
I want to suggest to change the in-game behaviour so that either, once in HMD mode, we can press the lock key for the HMD to continually search for targets (just like ACM), or in the very least to extend the scan period of the search to 0.5 s - 1 s.

i think it might just be a bug since the Ralph and EFT’s radars are super messed up
Nah, HMD locking has always been inconsistent. 0.2 seconds for a brief scan is just too short.
Also, even if it works perfectly, you could be trying to lock a target that is in the notch and about get out of it. Why do we have to mash the lock button for that?
This one is neither a F.3R, nor is it Indian.

That is how I went from the researching the F6F/Fokker G1 last thursday to just starting to research the Rafale today. (Although the tali on the S5 also helped)
Nothing wrong with skipping a bit of the mid ranks when you already have 7 ground trees and 2 air trees at top tier.
Would you know anything about this? Might have pinned the wrong mod
Yeah its fine… if you dont B*** about inaccuracies that are absolutely real in fact while playing inaccurate stuff mostly.

Anything regarding the pulse doppler chaff for the rafale?
As far as I know, it should work like every other HMS with the exception that it may switch to IRST in-game of an heat signature (This is something that happens on other planes too).
Nor is it a Rafale, it’s actually 3 Mirage IIIs in a trench coat. This dude.
Gaijin has been pretty consistent. This is almost literally the exact same conversation that was had when the F-5C was announced. The USAF never used the F-5C with countermeasure pods, but it had the capability to do so and was used by other nations with them. Sound familiar?

No, I mean in real life. What is the work frow / interface for the pilot? I would love for them to remove the switching to IRST, but devs have not usually been keen on removing features. So I want to push for increasing the scan time of the HMD lock.
About the real-life behaviatour I have no idea honestly. Sorry

I’m just happy that I can soon play the Rafale in general. (and that this grind is finally over, 4 million RP in just over a week is painful).

Yeah, when Rafale got announced, i was on Mirage III, lacking F8 and F1 and then did 4000 before patch even came up :D
That thing saved my sanity
