Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Like I’m starting to get sick of it already.
Because some issues with vehicles drop on the live server and it has been years, but still no fix.

Thanks god if its true, as of now, its serious pain.

I cant understand how gaijin still refuses to believe that the Rafale F3-R has the outer under wing pilons and there for can carry 8 missiles. When I gave so much evidence: Community Bug Reporting System

They rader believe one single article that just says F4 can carry more. Nothing about amount of missiles or new pylons and with 0 imagery to confirm.

“In addition to a new air-to-ground armament, the Rafale improved its air-to-air armament with the renovated Mica NG missile for air >combat with the ability to take more.”

If we gave gaijin that as a source for something it would be rejected for being to vague.

My humble guess is that they have way too tight of a timeline, resulting in them having to drop things before they are fully polished. While to us it might look like they drop the update and suddenly start working on it, they are likely working on it non-stop, we just start seeing small update once they drop the patch.

I never expected the patch to drop so early though in the first place.

There is plenty of evidence to support the fact French F3Rs did not have these extra pylons. Let it die.

Look at everything I posted in the bug report. I think that is plenty to support it.

Apparently those pylon are in the games but not live.

Some people made reports to reduce the number because the French airforce didn’t use the 8

That is accurate it only uses the cannard for landing not in te air

it also doesn’t use canards when landing too

The canards take up the pitch control impeded by the airbrake being active, from my understanding.

not in the live server. From my experience, canards don’t get affected by the airbrake, at all

The canards themselves are not impacted by the airbrake. They take up the slack of the airbrake being active regarding pitch maneuvers. Not that they are directly changed by the airbrake. From my understanding, at least.

This is normal, canards for the rafale are not used as airbrakes but control only. The way they model the air brake is matching the IRL pictures we have

oh okay then

Yes that is also how it works to my understanding. And while making the bug reportI couldnt find any sources that said the canard where part of the airbrake.
