new to the rafale forum, is anyone trying to do anything about the unrealistically high thrust the rafale has been given after the release of the hornets sting update?

or is it realistic and ive been lied to?

The rafale has been tuned by the devs according to specific data charts and is mostly respecting them. However, because supersonic drag and delta wings aren’t modeled all that well in game, the devs probably had to increase the thrust at above Mach 1.2-1.4, which might be somewhat unrealistic, but that’s simply a trade off to make it as accurate as possible according to the datapoints given

ok, it just sounds wrong to say that the Typhoon accelerates slower at high speed than the Rafale, or at least it says that on statshark

We have tried, no change so far, its thrust ramp up is just too much above 600IAS.

god forbid france gets something good.

if its unrealistic yeah. the french stuff being artificialy buffed to unreasonable performance is wrong
besides the FM and thrust add the IR Hammer overperforming to it

i legit have no idea what this means, rephrase please.

like they already said the thrust of the Rafale is to high at certain points.

Besides the A2G armament of the Rafale the AASM Hammer IR is overperforming, it is not meaned for moving targets. What we found out is that the IR seeker only activates 2km before impact and seems to only take 2 picture shoots to correct flight paths.
Its mostly meaned for slow moving targets and correction of stationary targets where gps jamming might be used.

It should work like a worse Penguin missle if i remember right, and The laser variant was used to only hit target that drive slower then 50km/h i think it was as well. Which would be more precise then the IR variant

I understand your point but you have to remember that if we ever decide to make ir seeker more realistic, it would also affect tv seekers like the walleyes or the kh 29 family or fnf gbu and early maverick version since they aren’t able to track moving targets either

I dont necessarily see any issues with that.

i wouldnt realy care and i dont know enough about those missles either.
I can only tell you the situatiom about the AASM Hammer and how some french members were very dishonest about its capabilities, taking sources out of context, releasing sources only partialy and hiding important information.
With all that stuff they even wanted to try argue that their IR seeker is better then MMW ones.

How all that relates to other fnf armament i dont know, i am only aware about the circumstances of this specific one

Would make fnf agm and gbu only usable against spaa
Only the mavs would be technically usable against moving targets
At the end of the day war thunder is a game
Making the game more realistic is nice at a certain extent
Further than that would make it extremely hard to play certain vehicles and aircraft

Pars 3, Spike ER. Brimstone technicaly.
There is more of them.

And Mavericks are spread across a lot of nations to begin with

And same argument gajin uses EFT apparantly is good enough with Laser A2G missles, so would other aircraft be

I pretty much exclusively use GBUs on every single aircraft I use in GRB anyway, so I dont see the issue

Am talking about the ir and tv guided gbu
The laser gbu are fine

Yep, which is basically all I use.

man someones apparantly salty when we point out problems. And no idea what the brits have to do with that either. But reports for it exist with sources as far as i am aware.

asking for deets isnt being salty, and the fact you immediately shield yourself behind “lol ur mad” makes me believe you’re just mouthing off without any credible sources, sources im once again asking for.

no, you immediatly starting rambling questions and apparantly straight going to insulting a community shows you are being salty and feel attacked when your favourite aircraft apparantly gets touched

A nation has nothing to do with reports about an aircraft not performing to its realistic standards

I myself am not an aircraft specialist and dont have any specifics myself either

But members of the french community falsifying capabilities already of the Rafale certainly is not a good outlook

Specific Person that falsified french capability being Mulatu_Astatke , being banned since sometime for reasons.
