HMDs were tested by pilots and kept as an option fot the F3R but were never included for operational service.
If the HMD was removed it wouldn’t shock me that much.
Maybe ? I don’t know their plans or whats coming.
There’s a whole host of these that should be removed if we’re going off included but not operated.

It’s very true. But I don’t understand specifically how they make their choices for the equipment of the planes, sometimes they take the capacities of the basic version while other times they are the capacities of the planes at the end of their life.
Starting to think if the 2000D RMV would have been added in a better state (And later state) the Rafale LF.1 would have been a decent choice for a CAP aircraft to add early
Just not a fan of how fast they’re pushing through technology, decades fly by in a single BR gap rn

I pretty much agree with this, F.3R is … a very weird choice as first variant to add. : /

No problem Rafale F1 ~ F3-R without HMCS
My opinion, gajin decompression battle rating to 14.3 before MICA IR to replace magic 2 sometime in 2025

Totally agree on this point, the game should slow down the pace in terms of technological advancement and complete the trees instead
I hope they go even higher
Could quite comfortably be at 19-20 now.

In my opinion, just add Rafale B F4 (Early) with 8 MICA EM & Scorpion HMCS to bomber or strike aircraft line instead buff Rafale C F3-R with 8 MICA EM

There is an ng version for the ground to air so maybe they are adding both at the same time, adding a spaa with the ng even if it’s not in service wouldn’t be horrible again current CAS xD.
At least that missile could arrive in game sooner than the air to air one.
I’m sure there was leaks not too long ago about the iris t spaa.
The F4 early as you say is currently the best that France has. The first aircraft were delivered in 2023 and the fleet is still being modernized to this standard and will not be fully modernized for several years.
It was not meant to be taken seriously, should have said it was irony
The Rafale in game is clearly not an F4.1 nor can it be claimed as one :
First 8 missiles were denied a lot of times.
Second it doesn’t have AASM 1000
Third HMD is now used by Gaijin as balance tool so it holds almost no weight in a report and HMD actually have been tested for Rafale before F4.1 it’s just that currently in game we have Scorpion Display as i doubt anyone would like having the russian circle display like on Mirage 2000-5F
Fourth RBE2 is currently full placeholder and will likely either get GMTI removed or another A2G mode.

Hopefully another a2g mode, dunno if it’s accurate but I like my a2g radars.
if the RBE2 AA is added correctly it should have at least an air-ground mode
Neat. A2G modes may not be the most useful, but when you need them, nothing else will do for smiting a muppet.

If the 8x missile are ever added to the Rafale F.3R ingame, it would be off the basis that the Indian Rafale F.3R can carry 8x missiles and that the Rafale we have ingame is being treated similarly to the Mirage 2000-5F with its export models’ loadouts and A2G munitions.
At this point, it is solely up to the developers discretion and whether or not they think the Rafale needs it or not.
The F.3R will not get 8x Missiles based off the prototypes since they have been disproven over and over again at this point.
Since I mainly play simulation games, I won’t contradict you on this point.
