Rafale cockpit light change before EFT HUD tint

Yeah… Sadly very true

The only internal change that is left is to make unique pilot model for Rafale.

Hopefully they model new pilot with fully Carbon Scorpion HMD.(even tho they rejected my bug report).

If you don’t count HUD, HMD and I believe a few MFD fixes, yeah internal is pretty much fully modeled aside from pilot

Yeah you’re right but most of them are finished or almost completed, meanwhile new pilot model will make significant change in terms of visual in both cockpit and 3rd person.

Hey Direct Support do you or anyone on your team have any background or firsthand experience with how the IRIS-T SLM is supposed to perform? We need to take a serious look at this, because as it stands, the missile is missing around 55% of its documented capability. If there’s anything you can do to escalate or support fixing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As we focus generally in French equipment, and the IRIS-T isn’t used by French systems, we don’t have more information than say the German community. They already provided a few reports for the SLM, and it remains to see wether gaijin plans to implement them, or reject them because they don’t find it authoritative enough.

Just a reminder that dev server is only 3 days in (devs don’t work on weekends), and everything is subject to change

Unfortunately haven’t collected any sources for it as Vizender said. But maybe Benelux peeps might have sources.

European delta canard planes just aren’t compatible with CFT

Rafale looks decent without

Eh, EFT also looks quite bad with two Seat configuration.

Exactly, they were designed to be single seater originally.

French are balancing Rafale’s insane acceleration and speed haha.

But in WT it won’t be as good, because currently Rafale has insane fuel economy. You can fly at very high speeds for a long time with very little fuel.

I mean, is there a plane around that doesn’t look bloated with CFTs ?
F16 is absolutely terrible, F15 isn’t great either, for example
