Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Why not? Heheheheh

Jokes aside, IMO I don’t think we will see another FM changes for Rafale at least up until 14.7 BR exist, the FM is already pretty overpowered compared to the nerfed Typhoon. Maybe at best, MICA fixes would come earlier than Rafale VnE speed.

I’m very interested in knowing what those sources say then

If VNe comes first the Mica’s effective range will increase further, this way they can keep Mica in current state until proper counterparts added.

Fair point, I never thought of that honestly.

Visual confirmation of the larger cockpit displays added with F.4s and damn, quite a bit larger;

Anti Claustrophobic measure for pilot lol

M88 T-Rex, as called by Safran, the manufacturer, is said to produce 9 tons of thrust and is compatible with the F5 variant of the rafale. That’s a significant upgrade over the 7.6ish tons that the regular m88 has, all in the same volume

If our Rafale can perform like this with current engines imagine what can do with T-Rex.

Don’t forget rafale is currently overperforming by the widest margin we have seen in game.

Lmao you are still on that it’s actually crazy. It’s overperforming mostly in high Mach numbers that are rarely reached in usual games. Statshark shows huge disparities but those mostly happen outside of the structural limit of the plane as of now

The acceleration is what I’m more concerned by, imagine if it got the Rex engines in game, its acceleration would be faster than some missiles 😂

If you think it’s overperforming now, then wait until you see the new report that’s being cooked up.

Better hurry the new update is nearly out

I think it’s time for 15% increase in thrust

I really hope it’s about the missing thrust …

15% missing from the current M88?

First and foremost I would like Gaijin to either add RAM coating feature and lower Rafale’s RCS or remove the speed limit for RAM coating and let Rafale fly 1500+ kph IAS.

RCS isn’t that much modelled right ? So we could expect it to be more relevant for 4.5 gen aircraft eventually with what could be added from the leaks i would guess.
