Yes and no, about one more source is missing but most are there. What we understand is that the Rafale A had a speed limit of 800 knots at sea level which translates to 1,555 km/h ripspeed. Further sources state that Rafale D has the same flight qualities that of the Rafale A. Rafale D is the prior designation of the Rafale C. Maybe it’ll be reported when June patch dev server comes.

To clarify, while the document does say that “it can fly at that speed indefinitely” this is to be expected since like most other planes, the IAS limit is structural rather than engine related (In contrast its Mach limit is engine related thus time limited).
But right in front of the 1400 kph IAS limit it states: “Reason: structural strength”
The tech mod decided to completely ignore that, and say “The source only says that at this speed one can fly indefinitely”

Comparing Rafale A with Rafale C is like apples and pears.

Yes and no, in this case Dassault explicitly stated Rafale D had the same flight qualities of Rafale A. And we know Rafale D is the pre-designation of Rafale C, same aircrafts but different designations.

An increase of the VnE of the Rafale would be a godsend. At least 20 of my deaths have come from overspeeding the plane in the heat of battle

Same, even just diving without slowing down first turns me into splinters
Sure is rough, suffering from success while everyone else, even those with higher TWR, struggle to keep up

Rafale players truly have it the worst
having the rip speed fixed on Rafale would send it into another level, that thing could finally overcome the eurofighter in terms of practicality and actually be capable of fighting 1v1s against the F-15Es which are sitting in the stratosphere
I would argue it already has surpassed them

Interesting suggestion I found regarding the fusion of TGP and radar :
in terms of agility, sure, but not when the guy decides to speed away
well i exclusively sit at high alt all game almost not matter what and in that situation nothing can really out run you till they get past mach 2 which i haven’t had happen yet
Was already the best jet in-game when they added it, and then gaijin buffed it like 20 times afterwards while nerfing the competition. Its not even arguable at this point most ppl I’ve heard discuss it think the state its in atm is a bad joke balance-wise.

If Rafale receives these changes, it will become even more powerful than it is now.
If they are sitting in the stratosphere, then it’s not like the Rafale rip speed is going to be a factor anyway?
Yeah Rafale cooks Typhoon in all but looks
it is when you want to stay out of contrail altitude
can someone give me tips for using MICAs…?
I swear my hit rate with them is probably below 50%, they track perfectly, someone turns slightly and they do a sharp turn and go bananas.
Ive even had one MISS a guy who was literally flat spinning and on fire…
i usually launch at about 18-17km fyi
I dont understand these missiles at all.
Launch them at like, 15 km max if you are close to the ground
