Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Counter-counterargument is that FM performance only matters in late-game scenarios where one team didn’t get stomped, which doesn’t happen a lot. So shouldn’t affect winrate statistics by a lot.

Fair enough, guess we’ll see. I know that in sim though, this will make this thing infinitely more of a nightmare than it already is, already know quite a few ppl that refuse to play top tier sim now because of this plane, and this change isn’t gonna help things. The F1C-200 BR range is also likely to be flooded by even more premium players.

Not so much when discussing their ordnance, i.e. magic 2.

Yup, saddly very true. That’s why I specified FM devs. I belive the Ground Tech tree isn’t really blessed either.

Sigh. Let’s not talk about that.
Although I’d say French air is generally blessed above 10.3, while 8.3-9.7 is far from meta. Aside from the 7.7 Ouragan/barougan, not a single MB/mystere airframe is up to par compared to, say a mig15 or other jets at their BR, and while the Alpha Jet is good, but not as good as the German one at the same BR in Air RB (since no flares, despite a slightly better kit overall for CAS I’d say). The etendard is ok, but the BR range is very difficult for flare less jets. The F8U (fn) is pretty abysmal imo as well, and the Mirage IIIC is playable. Starting from the IIIE things get dramatically better (although I haven’t played it in a long while).

I also don’t mention the BENELUX line since I basically have not played it at all aside from a bit of the F16A (which I don’t like, being at 13.0 against 14.0 most of the time)

I put a graph up earlier, with the change it gets very close to the eurofighter but its still slightly worse in every metric. However now it should handily beat the gripen.

No worries, the arguments had been getting too long anyway, was good where it ended.

Not accurate, for example the Rafale can’t launch Brimstones

IRST Scan Rate needs a separate report.

Some reports needed to be completely revised. Disregard earlier report posts from today. Thanks to @Mulatu_Astatke and @vizender some reports were revised and new ones were also created.

Rafale’s IRST should have maximum horizontal of 232 degrees // Gaijin.net // Issues

Rafale’s IRST should automatically search the total limits. // Gaijin.net // Issues

Rafale’s IRST should scan 232 degrees in 3-4 seconds. // Gaijin.net // Issues

Rafale’s IRST has incorrect vertical limits // Gaijin.net // Issues

Rafale’s IRST should have scan option of 160x67 // Gaijin.net // Issues

Welle that’s for recent stuff I remember back then when a lot of player tried to fix the mystère 2a, 2c and Super mystère when they were top tier plane.

They we’rent modified since then in fact the 2C model and 2 A model should be swapped, appart from the gun section.

I’m not even sure that the 2A was truly made.

Updated Bug Report List in the OP.

What the IRST should end up somewhat looking like

Maybe we’ll end up having 100+ reports by the end of next month unless devs get to a fixing frenzy.
