It would be nice.
Either that, or let us drop our AGMs >mach 1.
i mean that second report about it is pretty solid, if it doesnt get passed i dont know what will. we will have an entire AN/APG-63PSP situation again
I’ll be especially miffed if it doesn’t get through because y’know.
We have the F4U which demonstrates the principle is not exactly new.
no no its ok, the rafale doesnt have an airbrake
Just cobra, trust me
the thing is mica is the fastest missile in game but has huge drag so even Tho it reaches max speed faster it loses it faster the game, the MICA EM missile was nerfed to have significant drag, making it lose speed quickly despite reaching Mach 4.50. This nerf limits its dominance by preventing sustained high-speed chases, aligning with the game balnce adjustments.
It’s like giving our speedy sprinter a heavy backpack—still fast off the start but can’t maintain that speed for long distances.
More I think about it, the more the corsair thing pisses me off. We’ve got a demonstration of the concept on a lower BR platform and they refuse to implement it for the more advanced platform, making it nigh impossible to reliably use the AGMs without going through excessive maneuvers.
Instead of typical airbrake it should be like flaps.Though wouldn’t it have issues with speed and sacrifice manueverability? Still should be implemented
The agility shouldn’t be impacted that badly, if my understanding of the nature of the system is correct. It would be impacted, just not excessively. Issues with speed is debatable, but we don’t have the papers to settle that aspect of the argument. And likely won’t for the next century.
Ok, I’m so lucky find him made Rafale B, C & M F4.1
The Supermarine Swift also has flap-airbrakes in game, they work surprisingly well. Plane turns into a brick with no elevator (it’s normally a rocket propelled brick with a very weedy elevator) when they’re down, but it’s a jet from the fifties so compromises are to be expected.
Still dont know how two spherical cameras mounted on the tail somehow have X-ray vision through the fuselage and wings. It doesnt seem like it in pictures of the system itself…
DDM-NG should still be blocked by the airframe and wings, as it is in this picture. Its a minor blindspot, but still a blindspot.
Why is the Eurofighter FM a total physics defying UFO but they can properly model the AoA limits and realistic flight behavior of the Rafale?
Typhoon:
Rafale:
cuz its paid commerical. Dassault didnt pay them lol.
Hello everyone, I saw that the bug concerning the Rafale aerobrake was accepted because it had François LEMAINQUE’s quotes to support it. There will be a future interview with the latter on the Aerobuzz YouTube channel. The subject will be on the twin-engine Dassault aircraft, I think there is a move to try to get additional information for other subjects.

Ps: Thank you to all the people who contributed to the writing of the bugs to give the Rafale back its letters of nobility
Oh nice, thankfully they accepted it thanks to the Jumpseat podcast
This is an interesting point. Especially for the first video about post stall manoeuvrability.
In the very interesting video featuring François Lemainque (former Dassult engineer who worked on the Rafale design), he explained that this design with canards very advanced on the nose was the requirement of german especially for this post-stalling manoeuvrability. So I’m actually not surprised with this first video with very high stability while stalling.
hahaha wtf okay, this is hard to explain xD
