Hi, I’m looking at what the Rafale HUD and MFDs might look like and I came across this source, does anyone know if it’s reliable or not?
Normally the images come either from an army simulator or from a Dassault demonstration video.
RAFALE : Interface Homme Machine - RAFALE : The omnirole fighter
Most reliable online source you can find (besides Manufacturer, French MoD etc ofc).
Thanks, if the MFDs really look like that and are well modeled in game the plane will look amazing in simulation
Cockpit ergonomics has consistently been very very well praised in pilot feedback for the Rafale.
A recurring theme was that the displays were very modern and that everything was just where it ‘should’ be.
So yeah you just proved me right. US is a lot about showing off.
You can also use my corrected version of it;
We tend to only show off things that we export though. Take for example, information on B-2 vs the 2010s export F-15
Forgot about it. Been almost a year or more that i didn’t go back to the top of the thread. Btw could the points 4,7,8,11 be used for dumb bombs or wiring clearly doesn’t allow it?
Could the Rafale carry the AS 30L’s?
Back to square 1, missing 2 of the mentioned 14 slots
As i said the 2 missing pylons are just here in case they are needed in the future but currently only 12 are used frequently. Maybe they actually have a purpose but until we have access to detailed documents about hardpoints wiring and capabilities we won’t be able to tell. But if i had to make a guess i’d say the belly pylons could be used to carry 2 small dumb or guided bombs (500lbs mk 82) and the pylon at the front left of the plane could be used to carry a second pod in the future.
Not really on topic but couldn’t resist : The sailors of the Charles de Gaulle celebrated the reopening of Notre Dame today.
Could F.3.2 carry 3x AASM-1000 GPS/INS? I read somewhere that only the later models could but I’m not sure
So far with accesible infos only F4.1 seem to have been qualified for AASM 1000 and there is afaik no proof of AASM 1000 trials on any F3. But it also depends if gaijin give the MK 84 to Rafale because dumb bombs basically got integrated with F3R so acccording to gaijin policies you could theorically claim AASM 1000 if they give Mk 84 but it wouldn’t be accurate with history of Rafale and neither would the Mk 84 be.
If we stay in line with history F3.2 should be able to use DAMOCLES, GBU 12/22/49, AASM 125/250/500 GPS/IIR, MICA EM/IR.
Maybe @WreckingAres283 could still confirm as i’m only 90% sure of what i said, i could have missed some documents about F3.2 weaponry.
The Exocet is also possible
The block 2 was but the block 1 was integrated from the start
GBU-12 and GBU-22 as well but yes. Though I am quite sure they could will just call it F.3 and put everything together.
I saw it before deleting; Exocet came with F.2.
Yeah i deleted because i made a quick check and realised AM 39 Block 1 was already integrated from F2. But Gaijin still doesn’t seem to be uninterested by AM 39 so far so i skipped it like i skipped SCALP because high prob gaijin don’t integrate it too.
My personal hope is that anti-ship missiles will be added in this update, the fact that the Kormoran has been reworked and that many planes that can fire air-to-sea missiles will be added to the game gives me this hope.
