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
Eurobros invasion again.
Always :)
At that time there was no export. The sole tester of the rafale was Dassault and the French MoD (DGA) (document from 1992-1993).
So it’s either GE404, which had public information, or the DGA authorized dassault to send more precise documents on the m88.
You might tell me France would have given its best performance value to get the market, but I just want to point out that during that time France had tried to export the Leclerc while not providing actual armor value (and thus many testing countries had to downplay its actual armor, sometimes even implying that they would treat the armor as if it was an AMX30).
France at that time seemed to have been keener on keeping its values secret rather than insuring export sales
Also France MOD is so keen on revealing data points that so far almost all Rafale datapoints were found through tests and trials ran by many countries but France so basically a lot of clear documentation available on Rafale today is not even 100% French so i doubt the MOD kindly would reveal the true requirements of Rafale to a country which thhey don’t work with and even worked against in that case.
After looking at it i think the British got the Rafale A performance data with F404s but when asked for further data on M88 Rafale C that was denied. That is what i hatve gathered so the top speed report will be props be denied
I mean it’s kinda logical MOD wouldn’t give all data about latest tech in development. Would you give your homework to a rival of yours?
I didn’t submit the report about Rafale speed.
And if I did not submit a report about the Gripen using that document you would be accusing me of withholding information in order to protect the British Tech Tree. I can’t win.
Can you point to any other instances of my trying to nerf Gripen / Rafale?
IF anything he is the one person i see trying to understand the Rafale sometimes even better than Rafale enjoyers also the Gripen kinda had it coming it’s overperforming since release and many people tried to “nerf” it nothing new there.
It sure looks like the request for information was denied…
What you’re referring to came from a later document about a different British information gathering exercise.
That other document was not something I was aware of until someone sent me an image of it late last night (because apparently people message me about other peoples reports as well as my own now). I’ve not had time to properly look into the situation with that new document yet.
I’m not trying to hide stuff I posted the performance data graphs & information I had about them at the time in the French Tech Tree discord server. How they get used after that point is not really under my control.
In order to protect British Tree huh? Safe to say I don’t care about worst Gripen model considering I already have domestic version and Thailand one (even tho I have British one as well). What makes this interesting is that you only decided to report this once EFT came out which makes me believe it was intentional from the beginning.
Safe to say I have zero reason to believe you have good intentions.
I don’t think this whole personal grudge thing should matter, nationalism should be dropped for a more accurate and better game
You can distrust me if you want. I do have a long history informing the French community when I find stuff that might interest them though. For example:
Mistral:
Rafale:
Good for you but that doesnt change anything in my eyes, especially about you.
The Rafale data was used to supplement open publications available within DPTCAn
DPTCAn is a UK agency, no? So to what extent was the UK’s data (outlined in Fireball’s report) based on information (estimations) from DPTCAn rather than information provided by France? To rephrase: concerning the UK’s information on Rafale’s performance, is there a clear definition of what data has actually been provided by France, and what has instead been estimated using DPTCAn’s “open publications”?
Completely off topic, but this is what i might just need to finally report Mistral’s incorrect deceleration.
If you appear to have the documentation and if it is in fact not confidential anymore, could you please share it with me in PM ? Unless of course that screenshot is all there is
Again, what data was given ?
It seems that the report made by fireball conforms* really well to what a rafale could achieve with the F404, not the M88.
So, during that exchange, what data was shared ?
Especially since when asking for more data, Dassault was denied the right to share them. It just doesn’t add up that they’d share accurate M88 equipped rafale infos just to later not give them because the DGA refused it.
