Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Honestly I don’t know enough about them, and Typhoon wont get them anytime soon.
This is a buff to make F-15 meta again giving Typhoon the same missile and fixing the radar would undo that.

Typhoon not receiving buffs is very much becoming a meme

Oh nice they finally fixed something huge for me:


First, they added back the TGP/GPS marker on the HMD, and second, now markers are actually fixed to where they should go instead of ever so slightly drifting (for example when looking being you to the right, the circle of friendly plane was slightly in from of the actual plane)

Ah very nice, this was quite bad in SIM.

Nice QOL that

Still missing any kind of radar marker on HMD which is kinda annoying, but at least OSF link to the radar allow us to actually see where is the locked target through HMS :

May I ask, what is the SaS mode? and how did you keybind it

Yup, not only that but the Rafale’s Damocles pod got a buff in zoom

Spoiler

Aside from the fact that, yanno, the Rafale is beyond busted and is the one others are trying to be balanced against.

Doesnt seem to be considering the reactions seen anytime something might actually give the Rafale a challenge for once…

SaS mode is used for Sim, it allows to change the way FBW works. By default, you’ll have to trim yourself. There’s a Damping mode that keeps you going where you go, and an automatic levelling which, as the name implies, levels you off automatically.
To bind it, you need to switch control to full real controls and the key bind will appear. after that, you can switch back to mouse aim and it will remain bonded. It will only work when in simulator controls (so in sim, or when you are playing using sim controls in other game modes)

Ah I understand now thank you, at first I actually thought it was correlated to fuel dumping (since that was added to keybinds too)

Mirage 2000 truly is a plane that hangs on for dear life to remain competitive. From when the first f14 was introduced to now, it’s actually quite impressive how many buffs it received

mirage 2k5f was added long after f-14a and f-16/mig29

They butchered it’s fm it could barely pull any AOA or turn. But I quite liked the event one.

When it was initially introduced, it was just a C-S5 with a better radar. It quickly received the extra magic 2s when live hit, and then the rest is history. I’m also generally speaking of the entire Mirage family

Eh, it does compress more at high speed. Definitely not as easy to play - the J10C actually handles like the pre FM change M2K - but it’s not bad per se now. I had quite the learning curve to go through but I’d say it actually made it better against things like f16s when you know what you are doing. Definitely not securing a win, but with good energy management it’s very potent
