Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

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 )

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.

They actually changed pilot models on both EFT and Rafale, the thing is both of them shares same model while Rafale pilot model should be like that on this picture.

This helmet goes very well with Rafale lul, made of carbon XD

yeah this morning atleast they had a JHMCS on the model, F-15E also had this pilot model

The IR version has many problems at the moment, particularly with the target lock and the switch to GPS guidance, I imagine that the error you are talking about will be corrected for the release of the update.

This should not be limited by the TGP but all GPS+Laser ammo has this limitation so I don’t know if it will be fixed

Having tried this ability, it seems to me that the weapons are limited to 20km with this system (I could be wrong), given that I don’t have time at the moment to unlock the Rafale, I was able to try with the JDAM and GBU 39, 48, 49, 90 and they all fell after 20km each time I tried. It’s still completely OP for tank battles but at least the distance is limited

well i know its advertised but they round up and down a lot which doesnt help the already limited data

I mean its still cool but i prefer my solid carbon helmet rather than sharing same models with other jets.

Edit: We can actually make bug report for it and since its dev server we have a high chance to recieve it.
