Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Like what though? France uses GBU’s, cruise missiles, and Meteors on the Rafale like the UK does on Typhoons

Anyone bug report the fact that if you use the DAMOCLES TGP, you lose the ability to use the OSF?

I’ve long used TGP’s in sim for their ability to quietly ID and track targets from range, and the mix of the DAMOCLES + OSF would provide a rather significant increase in area the optical sensors could be used to look for and track targets.

Sure there are some differences. But the majority of it overlaps

Yes, it is a deliberate choice by the developers because they had apparently faced the same issue with the Harrier GR7 where bugs occurred when trying to use two different optics even though sources state both can be used at the same time.

Rafale is not capable of utilizing two different optical sensors // Gaijin.net // Issues

The AAMs overlap, sometimes (1).
The air to ground has some overlap (2?), most notably for the 2k strike platforms (4?).

But for the most part, France prefers the AASM hammer as it aligns with how they use the platforms.

Yes, although the report should be submitted as a suggestion and devs should fix the bugs or find a work-around rather than ditching the effort completely.

Edit: The report is discussing the Rafale’s optronics bug.
