In some ways it objectively is. For example sustained turn rate should be 20°/s with 4,300 kg of fuel and four missiles. Apparently it was about 18°/s when the dev server closed.

It’s just a matter of naming.
The arrest hook didn’t work during the dev server
But you know it’s not meant to be use on carriers anyway right? As far as i know, to use it, we should have some “brins d’arrêt d’urgence” on airfields.
(Sorry i don’t know the english for that, it’s the strings wich you can hook on…)

The arrest hook does work, it just does not extend. This has been reported.

Don’t worry I understand what you mean (je suis francais moi aussi)
The arresting hook on the Rafale is similar to those present on the F-16 or F-15 for emergency landings on airfields.
However, given the way it is modeled in game, it can be used to land on an aircraft carrier.

Really? That’s sweet :)
It looks like they might consider call it F.4 afterall, wich would simplify everything…

It wasnt against, you, just additionally pointing out absurdity of some people in community trying to ruin fun for others for the sake of 10000% accuracy in arcade game.

Was wondering something for SIM, is the Rafale in warthunder able to fly with afterburner without breaking the wings (like 102% for exemple ?) near the ground?
The mirage is able to hold its max speed before breaking at 103% power close to the ground
Would be another good option.
So, do we know if HMD is removed or not? Specifically the one in trailer… i dont want to see 2 ugly rings in sims like on 2000-5… thats literally only reason why i dont fly it. Get that ugly russian circle out of my baguette.

It was active in the last version of the dev so unless a datamine says otherwise, it’s here to stay.

It can underperform in one area and overperform in others.
I can’t speak to the motivations or actions of other “Brit mains” (i have germany france and britain), but i have at least tried to keep an open mind and aide where possible, i also havent seen any rafale nerfs passed from any side really.
That said theres a series of assumptions being made on this side of the thread too.
So lets stop casting shade at eachother, and work to report positively where we can.

The reason barely anyone uses IRSTs is because of how poorly they perform, compared to what they should be able to do.

just wanted to ask because your comment was removed and i was afraid i made someone angry lmao
Whilst i am aware it cannot be used for reports when i checked statshark with full fuel and 4 AAMs of amraam weight i got 18.1.
I managed a peak of 15.8 for Rafale with full fuel and 4 AAM of MICA weight. Rafale FM looked a lot more finished than Eurofighter though but who am I to judge.
I havent a clue what to do with the SEP value so i just set it to zero that could have skewed results but i assumed that if there was no specific excess power then the airframe was performing to the max?

And you are referring to exactly what here? Aircraft?
I ask out of curiosity and because in Sim it is easy to dominate in Flanker by using irst and brainplay.
