Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Soutien militaire : Rafale Charge lourde et/ou carburant

Not really, current Rafale has certain disadvantages against other top tier jets, having better situational awareness is always Rafale’s strongest point in real life so i see no reason why it should loose its Scorpion HMD.

Like I said, I’ll reserve my judgement on it until I’ll have it. ;)

(Which, considering how many RP I get per Mirage game, will not take long lmao. I’m rampaging every game with offbore MICA)

Dont be late to join Rafale club buddy, we’re waiting you.

You can’t deduce from this that the 5 hardpoints can carry bombs, what is certain is that the plane can carry 5 fuel tanks because we have images but it is impossible with just this quote to know if it can carry bombs on these hardpoints

Has anyone seen the new Rafale Camo that magazine announced?

Won’t be long. I got the British EF2000 first yesterday. And honestly grinding with the British Gripen was so much more painful. R-Darter are bad. They’re actually painful to use, and the Gripen’s radar isn’t even that good either. The TWS take forever to refresh.

R-Darter have the range of the R-77 but with a fraction of the close-range pull. The only thing they’re good at is launching head-on at 10km then using the Gripen agility to multipath.

MICA are so much easier to use, seriously.

To think, it shouldn’t even have them.

Maybe Rafale C or M F4 (F4.1 or F4.2) to rank IX. but Rafale C F3-R increase BR to 15.3 & add Meteor in 2028, and move to rank IX

Pre-order pack rank 9, maybe

It might Rafale C01

It’s to the point I’d rather the Gripen was 13.0 with full 9M loadout like the A. At least I can just turn off the radar and catch people offguard with the 9M in the occasional downtier.

I’m willing to bet they’ll use the Morocco Mirage F1 with M2000 electronics and MICA for the next french premium.

This one :

French teams are currently dumpstering all eurofighter teams (mostly with mirage2000 lol)

we are not gonna any pity buffs like the crying nations of US and Sweden

Imagine not being a absolute shitter at the game. Love out performing people with my worse missiles.

I hope we get some tiger meet skin on the Rafale, those we have on the Mirage 2000 are pretty cool

in today’s patch one has already appeared

There is not a single one of the proposed configurations that talks about putting weapons on the points used by the fuel tanks (And besides it is not considered a reliable source).

Sweden does not get pity buffs. You can bitch about the yanks, but we are consistently fucked just about as hard as France and Britain prior to this update. And with the new additions, we’re notably worse off.

guess MythicPi is getting what he wanted all along

smokeless motors, mavericks

Smokeless motors were their decision. We only wanted our IRCCM missiles alongside everyone else. The smokeless aspect is also debatable as to whether it is accurate or not. AGM65G was added to keep it on parity with their shit decision to add them to the Gripen C they added to Britain (which also received ARHs it wasn’t meant to). We were pushing for weapons that were actually carried by the platform until they decided to add a fictional AGM65 variant to the British one, which was added for balance. As we received only Tung. Thus, we pushed for the balance change to be considered for the other Gripens instead of just the pommie one.

Regardless, these 2 changes don’t really account for: FM worse compared to where it ought to be compared to the competition, BOL being nerfed into the ground, constant undocumented nerfs to agility, radar that is performing worse than available documentation, the lack of MAWS present, etc.

If we want to compare, we can point to M2k 5f which carries more missiles than it ought and a HMD that to my knowledge was not even trialed. Whilst having bells and whistles that JAS39 should have access to but doesn’t. Which if I wanted to be petty, instead of factual, I’d say would be France receiving pity buffs.

I’ve not particularly a care to carry this on further, just highlighting how you’re wrong.
