There was talk of merging the dassault nEURON and BAE Taranis (as well as the other like 4 BAE stealth UCAV’s) to create an L/O stealth wingman system but seems to have gone nowhere.
France is still planning to roll out a L/O drone along side the Rafale circa 2030 with its F5 standard. It is planned to be about twice as big as Neuron and a fully French program as of now

Seems to have fallen through then as the UK has introduced a similar programme with Japan and Italy building on existing UK development for the Tempest programme which should have IOC alongside Tempest (so test flight’s by 2030 and IOC by 2035 aiming for 2032)
I just wasn’t sure if it was being continued on the UK-French side also. But then again pre-2017 we weren’t sure if FCAS would be EFA 2 electric-boogaloo with half of Europe participating, and the announcement of the nEURON-Taranis partnership was made in 2014-2016
My honest opinion concern the rafale buffs and the eft nerf
The rafale needed those buffs in order to compete against the eft but the issues is that gaijin decided to nerf the eft engine power and maneuverability which created an unbala
Now the rafale doesn’t have an equal and is now the best jet in game when it comes to arb in terms of overall flight performance
Tbf i wish they revert the nerf on the eft even though i understand why they did it in the first place since ive played the eft

Simply they needed to nerf both.
Running into an odd issue with the Rafale’s MAWS slaving, doesn’t seem to deploy chaff ever.
Anyone else running into this? Unsure if I should bug report it or if it’s an isolated issue.
I experienced similar symptoms.
It was definitely ARH, but MAWS was launched flare and chaff
don’t use the auto-countermeasures in Rafale, it wastes them too much anyway
Yes, I ran into the same problem in simulation, and whether it’s against ARH or SARH, I feel like the MAW activates at the moment the missile is launched but cuts off very quickly and does not continue to release countermeasures.
Otherwise, still in the problems, several times my MICA simply refused to launch, I don’t know if it’s due to my joystick (I have no issue with the other missiles) or the game.
It did used to work, right?
I might bug report it if I’ve the time to document it.
Yes, the MAW was working before, I feel like this bug is quite recent.
After that, I haven’t played the plane much since the release of the last major update, the problem may date back to that time.

This is a video talking specifically about SIM which is niche. I agree Rafale is busted in SIM but this is not really the mode the devs are putting the effort about balance. In ARB the rafale is probably one of / the best jet but not by such a huge margin that it defines the meta.
It’s busted in all modes.

As Mikey said, its busted in all modes, its just most busted in sim. As the CC mentionned, it was already busted in sim before Hornets Sting, to the point where it was generally considered that whoever had Rafales was going to win the match, and yet it was still buffed a ton during Hornets Sting while its competition was nerfed.

Is scan loss modelled for ESA radars in the game?

not as far as i know
you dont have any issues locking onto someone that is at the max radar range, while also being close to the max gimbal limit
I can’t see what this message was.
It was this video:
