It breaks at like 1450-1460… its as fast as it should be according to source stating high alt limit and not low alt limit.

Any plane in game has a wrong deck speed because they multiply the offcial VNe of any plane by 1.05
Rafale seems to be underperforming in sustained too but I didn’t test it extensively so I can’t say for sure, a report got accepted that said it should around 24 degrees but it doesn’t really seem close to that
It’s very annoying to not even able to cruise at 102% AB
Also the HMD is but a meager feature as it’s a balancing tool as of now. I could tell you the Typhoon get a double missile pylon it shouldn’t have and you get it for free not because of balance. So if people want to complain the Rafale is lackluster they can do so…

Decided to add images to comment on EFT’s payload change. Did you know none of its pylons that can carry air to ground are eaten by its stock loadout, as opposed to Rafale where all of them are* 😿
*Unless you can find some way to grind with a single gbu 24. Only thing not monched by stock set up.

It doesnt even work properly. It doesnt show locked up targets. Anyone can confirm it shows allied units?
Rafale VNe on the deck is correct.
From Dassault Aviation
Spoiler
VNe in game is calculated by that * 1.05. As a result, we get 1458 km/h, which is what we have now, it is not overperforming at all.

It remains a handicap, the majority of planes have stock missile carriages that allow them to carry air-to-ground weapons and long-range missiles without having to unlock all the weapon modifications.
The F-14, F-15, F-16, Mig-29, Su-27, Su-34, J-10, J-11 all have their stock missiles placed in such a way that they can carry all their stock missiles + air-to-ground weapons without having to unlock all their missile modifications.
The only Top tier planes that must sacrifice missiles for their air-to-ground weapons in the top tier are those that either do not have room to put them elsewhere (Grippen, Av 8B+) and even if they reduce the quantity of these weapons they can take both.
So no, it makes no sense to limit the Rafale like this, I imagine the faces of American players if the stock AIM-120s of the F-15E had been installed under the CFTs, forced to mount all the missile modifications to have access to long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground

Still wouldn’t be able to bring a fraction the air to ground payload of the competition with those pylons freed up. So even from that perspective, bit rubbish the pylon allocation of the stock set. We would actually have less payload than the Gripen, even with 2 AMRAAMs, if we only loaded those pylons. But if we add the GBU 24, we’d still be worse off than a Gripen carrying 1 AMRAAM.
Honestly, not sure what to do with this information now. Kind of surprised we would have less explosive payload than the least laden light fighter.

What are you on about man
Do you ever stop attacking these guys because it has a HMD

The misconception a lot of people make is that Rafale is a pure precision Striker not a dumb bombs slinger. Also Mk 81,82,83 have been suggested but not been added for now it seems.

Oh, I’m aware of the precision, not hefty payload. I’m just more surprised that Gripen can carry anything worth a damn. Always felt Gripen’s payload a bit eh, but I was doing alright on dev with Rafale so dunno what my issue is with Gripen’s payload.
Worked it out, thing becomes a bit too close to a brick the moment you even half load it with heavier bombs.
what did i said about the avionic suite? oh yes, that it will not even be modelized at the third of it’s Real abilities ^^"
but, i have no merits, i do play this game since 2012, i know exactly how Gaijin is making french vehicules overall (wrongly off-course)
the F.5 isn’t even fully prototyped yet,… don’t bring this one in ^^"
F.4.1 yes and F.4.2 aswell (but that’s all we can say for sure)
Who asked you tho. I was giving an explanation i don’t care about what you said or not.

My bad, I had been shown a different number, ty for correcting me o7
They are exporting the russian top tier radar experience
You cant even cruise at 103%, it will rip itself apart.
Yup, made a mistake, was given the wrong number, my bad on that one, edited the comment. o7
101% will also do it in level flight at ~400m altitude.
