Air density and physical phenomenons and constraints applied on an airframe are not the same on deck and at alts it’s normal you can go faster higher it’s like that for any plane what are you on about.
Rafale max speed on deck(0 meter from sea) is 750kts
Rafale max speed at 12000m is Mach 1.8-1.9
IAS and ground speed are different thing the top speed is either 750knots IAS or mach 1.8 ground speed wich at a certain altitude is the exact same speed
IRL the Rafale is far superior to the 2000-5F in terms of its detection equipment, personally I did not expect a revolution in the game with the arrival of the aircraft. If the radar is modeled correctly (the bug report for the AESA radar has been accepted), then the Rafale will really be a good improvement over the Mirage.
Regarding the addition of the export variants’ armaments, personally I am opposed to it, the export variants are generally heavily modified aircraft and (in my opinion) the 2000-5F should never have received the additional Magic or ground weapons.
To be honest I didn’t expect to have a Rafale F3.R in the game, adding an F2 would have made much more sense at the moment. And would have been much simpler to model/balance
There is already a report about wrong naming and wrong capabilities?
There are bug reports for the radar that have been accepted and we should receive the AESA radar (at least I hope so), for the name it seems that the plane remains under its F3 designation because it is ultimately a mixture of all the F3 standards
Btw i notice only now that there is inconsistencies about AASM lock range which is advertised as 20km but when pointing a target at like 19 km the AASM indicates POINT lock instead of TRACK lock. Has this been reported or it’s normal?
For which variant of AASM ?
didnt they talk about this as a bug on dev stream
Regarding the addition of the export variants’ armaments, personally I am opposed to it, the export variants are generally heavily modified aircraft and (in my opinion) the 2000-5F should never have received the additional Magic.
yes, im opposed it aswell, i even talked about it multiple times on the mirage thread before rafale was even leaked, how with current m2k5f setup, rafale will be a sidegrade at best because the a2g capabilities and the missile count, i hate the fact that gaijin goes with all that “compability not removed, so it can have it” bullshit
but i hate it even more, when planes are not treated the same, they gave multiple capabilities to the m2k5f from the 2000-9 because “reasons”, but they are not gonna give them to the rafale, and why is that exactly? i’m 99% sure that gaijin will not back off from the “compability not removed” reasoning, and i do not like it, but if the are still going with that reasoning, i atleast wanna see them treat both vehicles the same.
To be honest I didn’t expect to have a Rafale F3.R in the game, adding an F2 would have made much more sense at the moment. And would have been much simpler to model/balance
me neither, i personally thought they would go with tranche 1 for EF and go with f.2 rafale, that would make much more sense, but we are talking gaijin here. we jumped from f16a blk 15 to f16c blk 50 in a matter of few patches ( i dont remember how many, but way less then it should have been )
Indeed. I fully understand that but talked to quick as I didn’t see that the chart provided wasn’t in IAS but in TAS
it seems to be fine at alt it doesnt rip just cant accelerate like it should
My mistake, sorry for the inconvenience lol.
IIR Type, Laser is limited by TGP lock range and GPS can go above 30km of launch range with no problem new POI on map feature will make these supra cancer, free spawnkills.
i was just in a test flight doing this lol
No worries, I get it, lots of excited players right now seeing their favourite vehicles turn up.
low alt is def a let down was expecting 1500 ias rip
ive noticed the new JHMCS pilot model on the NATO HMD jets. still holding out for LA-100 with Scorpion for an actual pilot model
Well they started by giving it 1529 which was very nice of them and then that one dude reported the thing about 750kts. Tho Gaijin could have applied the nerf anyway it’s not hard to find deck max speed of Rafale Dassault literally advertise it on their site.
