Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Then i don’t get it, what is known publicly about the RBE2-AA that gaijin could implement it.

Looks like this Gripen is firing BOL off the rail dispensers

A greater number of T/R modules would not be needed in Warthunder for that, as datalink doesn’t really change the equation on whether or not a higher or lower number of modules on your radar is important. It’s similar to how more than 4 missile datalink channels in WT is overkill in the current matchups.

Can you rephrase your question?

I’m asking what data is there publicly available that gaijin was able to model the RBE2, to know what “parameters” should be known so gaijin can accurately model a radar.

There’s information showing it can track 40 targets and have missile datalink for up to 8 targets. There’s information showing it has 140 degree gimbal in both elevation and vertical. There’s information showing it has a range of around 220km. There’s information showing it can track targets outside of the search volume. There’s information showing the different modes and combat modes and how it interacts with sensor fusion. If you want to look at the reports and the sources used, you can take a look at the thread reports list and open the links.

As of this dev server, about half of the reports or slightly less than half have been implemented

Thanks.
And i hope gaijin fully models your radar.

boy i sure love flying these silly little planes in this silly little plane game made by a giant snail.

@DirectSupport Can’t find where you said it, but didn’t you say aircraft should struggle to resolve what Rafale is through NCTR? Currently Su 30 IDs Rafale pretty comfortably, IDed it at range, got up close to make sure it was working. Does this need report? You are more familiar with it than I.

Because gaijin doesn’t give a damn about what is realistic and what isn’t. Also i don’t know completely how it works from behind but from the front Rafale shouldn’t be indentifiable. Except if SU30SM has advanced sensor fusion (Which it doesn’t) that’d allow it to identify a locked Rafale if said Rafale triggers SU30SM RWR by a mecchanic of sensor fusion SU30SM radar would be able to know location + identity of the plane but this method is out of the equation for SU30SM. NCTR is just oversimplified atm.

Did reckon this was a bit skewiff.

Also the fact Rafale should be almosty impossible to identify with NCTR has been reported by DirectSupport already. But gaijin will probably keep it a suggestion until th end of days because only Rafale would benefit from this advantage atm.

Well, that’s pretty rubbish.

I mean they didn’t implementd it’s low RCS so i don’t see why they’d give it a one sided advantage regarding NCTR. SU30SM is once more a certain example of GJ Russian BIAS even if the plaane isn’t that good it benefits from a certain favor treatment nonetheless.

I do reckon most of this Ruski bias rubbish comes from it being an easy tree to test stuff on with a large number of mostly adequate players. Though it would be nice if when implementing this stuff they brought in most reports and focused on them. Suspect that’s limited by how they do updates though.

Radars which perform NCTR based off Jet Engine Modulation (i.e. recognising the unique signature of the engine) would probably find it harder to ID if the fan blades were hidden.

However some radars use other NCTR techniques such as ISAR imaging & High-Resolution Range Profiling (among others), which rely on the size / shape of the airframe to do target recognition. Such radar modes are therefore not likely not be affected by the engines being hidden.

More advanced radars typically include multiple types of NCTR.

What makes you think that Rafale is difficult to identify?

Nah those are from the flare bins on the top and bottom.

BOL isn’t pryotechnic, it’s a pyrophoric material. Reacts with oxygen to produce it’s IR emissions.

Ahhaa,Is the MiG-21 possible? You can’t see his engine.

Forget about realism in general.Airplanes have a sep of 250 m/s at an altitude of 9km, when in reality it would be no more than 100
