Considering the Striker 1/2 HMD and F-35 JSF HMDS all using a full field of view HMD the idea that a monocle based system is advantageous seems not to hold water.
As @ron_2303 mentioned its old 80’s tech, sure the newer symbology is there on newer systems like the JHMCS II but you’re still limited in field of view pretty massively. Which means you need to move your head/neck around more.
Striker II;
JHMCS II
I never said it’s advantageous over the full-vision system; it’s a technology that has advantages and disadvantages, and more modern systems are obviously more efficient.
Moreover, what I mentioned about the advantages of the eyeplate display doesn’t apply to more modern systems because they are systems that project onto the visor and not onto a plate (as in the case of the F-35). Technological developments in displays and materials have made it possible to reduce the flattening effect on these viewfinders, which is why the new models achieve this result.

Since Scorpion is likely to stay can you look to this bug report?
Rafale deserves its properly modelled Scorpion HMSC rather than copy paste american model.
wait until you see the EF thread
Yeah the **** measuring contest is getting really old (and it goes for some fans of each plane)
it was about the Brimstone seeker, or something and a certain person that is active in here was like:
“I dont accept these sources, because it dosent line up with my views”
(atleast thats what i got from those messages)
Yup. Getting really frustrating going into a thread to learn more about a vehicle, just to see people arguing and 500 flagged posts :)
I’m really thinking about creating a “Rafale vs. Eurofighter battlefield” topic so that people stop arguing in more thoughtful topics.
Almost wanted to right that one down in my previous message
You read my mind X)
I would but I’m already on thin ice with forum bans and I can’t afford another incident
Isn’t Scorpion originally American though? Dont get me wrong I’m sure it was changed to work with Rafale better, with the stuff it displays and everything, but it should be a copy paste US Scorpion no?
the Scorpion is from Thales, thus making it French :). Im not sure if any of the HMD’s the US use are domestic, cause the JHMCS is from Elbit.
welp I done it.
here you go
JHMCS is from Raytheon and Elbit
And Scorpion was originally from US company, but then Thales bought the HMD part of the company. I know this because I’ve asked a related question before (is the scorpion HMD on ANG F-16 the same Scorpion HMD on Rafale?)
Somethings violently wrong with the Rafales max G-load:
It quite easily survives 20g+ pulls with varied fuel loads and full MICA loads, well above gaijins stated 1.5x max G-load multiplier, which would need to be 16.4G irl to match the G-loads its able to pull and survive in-game.
It seems the only real limiting factor this airframe has are the lift limits and speed limits of the wings.
Finally
The thing is Scorpion HMD has unique design thus it deserves to be modelled.
Compare to JHMSC it features fully carbon fiber and smaller design, thats why Rafale should get its unique pilot model.
Oh ok, that’s what you meant. Yeah, scorpion equipped jets should have different pilot models
