I sadly can’t test it right now as
But I will test the Rafale once I get home and hopefully Steam updates the game. I really hope it’s not worse than the Eurofighter FM wise
So does that mean this relatively unhelpful scan angles might be improved? Very narrow, not too fond of it. Height nice tho. I’ve no familiarity with the radar though, so don’t know if accurate. It’s not entirely an issue, just a bit peeving.
Oh yeah, I didn’t notice before, but 31° vertical scanning angle for a TWS is absolutely crazy. You can see the whole enemy team position. EFT is limited to 11°, and 6° with the wide 140° scan. In term of awareness this is huge, it will be very hard to sneak past a Rafale even from below or above.
By comparison, F15JM only manage 15° vertical with the narrowest pattern.
They were saying something about general radar rework thats planned and that until then AESA will be a placeholder so yeah I think its highly possible.
Yeah, the height is really nice. But I despise not having a wide radar scan angle, as I play ground attack first and foremost. Wide search angles are a hell of a lot more reliable as an early warning system than tall. Though I can see tall being a lot more useful if you go for air to air primarily.
Cheers, it’d be really nice if we get decent height and width.
Fair. Personally both in Sim and Air RB I’ve been appreciating 60° and narrow search pattern a lot, especially on TWS. It tends to be more reliable to find targets at long range (60km+) due to faster refresh rate. the wide TWS pattern on most planes tends to just overlook some target or struggle to keep them refreshed.
On Air RB a trick I use a lot as well is to push the antenna to the right side of the gimbal in narrow search, while I’m flying left in early game. Basically I’m flying at the enemy team following the pack while keeping an eye on my TWS on the enemy team. It’s very good to find stragglers and isolated target while still flying defensive. I do get killed by planes sneaking up from under me a lot, so the 31° vertical gimbal will be very very good.
Aye, narrow search is good for tracking down a target, but for just having a general idea of approaching muppets I find wide better even if it scans slower. Though you being shot down from targets below you does show why we might value it differently, given I fly at tree top level for ground attack and I’d be really quite surprised if a muppet could strike me from below :p
Quick question, has anyone made a bug report to move the Mica that are available from the start ? Because their position prevents the carrying of any air-to-ground weaponry before unlocking the rank 4 modifications
I didn’t see one perusing the issue tracker.
Thanks, I’ll do it this afternoon
Can anyone check Rafale’s arrest hook ? Is it working ?
It is
You found a carrier to test it?
Wareta had sent a message in the topic during the weekend to say that it was functional
Forgot that. Did they fix the animation issue?
Okay, as a SIM player, I’m in heaven right now. This is AMAZING for SIM. We even have the proper radar MHD with radar tilt, proper RWR, we have the surface control airbrake as IRL, proper HUD… We can’t shit on Gaijin for hating France with the quality of the model they just delivered with the rafale.
Not yet. No.
Well, that sucks.
Is there any chance that the stock Mica on the aircraft will be moved to the fuselage loads?
Do we have the right count of GBU 16?
