Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

No

That was about Canada and Australia

India is a sub tree

Like how Benlux is a sub tree of France that gives the French tree F16s and Leopards

RAFALE CAN HAVE 5 high weigth emport at the place of tank fuel

Yes But it’s unfinished.

its dassault

HMD still there ?

Tested the radar a bit on a free flight.

It’s… ok. But I expected a lot more from an AESA. It’s just a fast mechanical radar with how they made it. 140° gimbal limit is good, especially for the HMD+MICA combo, but it doesn’t scan the full 140° both in TWS and PD which looks weird.
Also MICA can’t be shot from an IRST lock which is also weird.

The plane itself handle very well at least. The flight model is better than the 5F which was expected.

Oh and for Sim, the HUD is really nice.

Rafale is pretty much still in a WIP state. This update release is very messy. Way more messy than one could have expected.

Could the MICA EM be launched with IRST?

I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. The Tornado GR.1 has outer sidewinder pylons on it’s wings in the CDK which it never used (IRL or in game). Of course it is possible Gaijin will add those pylons to the Rafale, but not certain.

Why wouldn’t it ? MICA has an active radar onboard and the IRST is also a rangefinder. With datalink involved it’s absolutely not absurd to launch an ARH within maddog range from an IRST lock.

I hope UK doesn’t get the Rafale. The reason being, UK already has access to the Gripen and Eurofighter. They will also have access to the F-35 when 5th gens are added. If they get Rafale too, would there be any reason to grind any other nation ? You could just grind UK air and get every nation’s top tier jets

yeah, agreed with you

Wait, do they have Rafales? South Africa?

India

It is a sub tree

Inda has Rafales (as far as I know). And since India is UK’s subtree, some people want the Indian Rafale for UK tech tree, whivh is VERY DUMB

And smin confirmed indian rafale would NOT come in UK tech tree (doesn’t mean would come either in french tt, and yeah i don’t have his message saved), and i remind you that all additions from a subtree will not necessarily come to the game.

(My words are maybe not the best since i’m sleepy but the main point is there)

I don’t think you even have to be within maddog range. As long as the IRST can get accurate enough data on its target, it should be able to share that data with the radar for it to guide the missile in datalink.

Gaijin might choose not to add it, however, for balancing or implementation reasons.

Where did he say it will never come
