This source isn’t a web page (Eurofighter website says mach 2) it is a MOD document with SEP diagrams the only issue i see with it is that it could be the Rafale A which has slightly different airframe and different engines which would make the info useless
What a ridiculous statement…British MOD lie, but French sources are so accurate and 100% true…
Friend you either trust all official sources or none.
And RAF’s Web page claims its Mach 1.8, so should we take that info and change EFT’s top speed?
Thats why i’ve said that we cant be sure if British MOD documents are hundred percent true.
And in the case that dassault did not give them M88 rafale C01 info, that would definitely be the case. To be determined.
But to me just looking at the fact that those documents would infer a max top speed of the rafale under Mach 1.8, when it’s known to do quite a bit better with (at the very least) Mach 1.9, I would assume that it is the case
I prefer to trust Dassault who makes Rafale and French Goverment rather than some British documents about Rafale, just like i dont take RAF’s information about EFT’s top speed which is listed as Mach 1.8 seriously.

Thats the RAFs operational speed, they do not (generally) exceed mach 2.0 it doesnt mean the airframe is limited to that speed.
The RAF have a history of downplaying aircraft potential to prolong the lifespan of the airframe.
Just like every other Nation.
For example Rafale’s top speed is also downplayed in order to increase lifespan of airframe and RAM coating.
RAF isnt special in this case.
No one is saying they are.
Then what makes you think some British MOD documents its hundred percent accurate about Rafale’s true flight performance?
According to Dassault Rafale can achieve Mach 2.0 while bug report suggest or should be reduced to Mach 1.7-1.8 due to some British MOD documents.
Why wouldnt they be?
Why would Britain lie about the capabilities of the Rafale?
Data is likely from French sources or export customers who have tested or procured Rafales.
Defence companies talk and while 90% of arms procurement is political they are still going to be aware of testing data.
The same with the various data we use for armour values came from Swedens evaluation.
Rather than lying they might have information about GE404 engine performance on Rafale that was tested before.
And main data suggest that Rafale’s top speed is Mach 2 which means British Mod has most likely have information about G404 engine performance rather than M88’s.
Maybe, Gaijin have modelled the correct thrust in game for the M88.
In all seriousness no one is ever going Mach 2.0 or above in the game right now.
Maps are too small
I believe that is the case, but still lacks top speed on the deck.
According to first bug report top speed should also be 800knots which means with 5 percent rip limit it should reach 1500+km on deck.
I’ve managed to get Mach 2 on one match and that was 2 years ago, i was chasing enemy Mig23 in my Mig23MLD at very high alt and didnt even realized i was crusing at mach 2 until game told me to reduce my speed :)
Agree, If Gaijin wants to introduce more sophisticated weapon systems and Jets they should increase the size of map and redesign the objectives.

Crusing at mach 2.0! Love it
I dont think Typhoon or Rafale fms are finished with I see future changes for both just have to see how it all plays out now :)

Hopefully both jet recieves their accurate flight model and weapon systems, i love all European Delta Canards and i would like to see them with their full potential :)

Would be cool and then they can team us up!
You guys can jam those pesky F-22 Radar with the SPECTRAL systems and we can sit up high with Meteors… :D
To generate interest for export sales of the Eurofighter, last time I checked a large chunk of the defense labour market in the UK revolves around producing components for Typhoon
It does but you cannot lie about actual real world performance, anyone with google can see it.
With pleasure, personally i dont think i will use F-22 nor Su-57 too much considering Delta Canards are my favourite :D
