Does anyone know why we have 2 pylons for targeting pods?
no just one at the left when you lokk foreward
Its so small I cant read what it says
Maybe one NAV pod + one TGP?
What happens is that there is a certain difference between what Dassault proposes and what is chosen by the armies. Dassault’s version is the theoretical maximum of the plane and buyers choose what they want on their planes.
For example the F3R has 8 pylons for air-to-air missiles. On the other hand the version chosen and purchased by the French army only has 6. The Indians on the other hand chose to have the 8 missiles but not the Spectra because they preferred to have their own version
On the other hand, this image is clearly false because the presence of Mica in the central carriage and AS-30L under the wings suggests that this is definitely not a production version.
I can’t either but that’s the format the photo was shared in
It would be really nice if we could glue more air to ground on the other pylons. Fictional for a French one, but nice lol

The indians definitively have Spectra. It’s a modified variant (with L Band jammers for old soviet style Pakistani SAMs for example) and with an empty threat library but that’s still definitely Spectra
Yes but this modification comes from them, not from Dassault, what I wanted to say is that the Spectra did not suit the Indians and that it was therefore modified to meet their requirements (sorry if what I say is not clear I use a translator)
Good vid on how cracked this thing is in sim.

Its something thats yet to be modelled on other HMDs such as JHMCS. Once its modelled Rafale will lose its main advantage (outside of MICAs)

Oh my god all you do is cry all day long about the Rafale, every single message you posted on this thread is about that. Your ETF is better than the Rafale and nobody here is spamming your ETF topic to complain

Not that MICA is all too much of an advantage if people maintain awareness. Not even about the launch of the missile itself, but just keeping you from engaging at the range you’re actually a threat.
Rafale C 01, Rafale B 01 and Rafale M 01 & 02 prototype mounted AS-30L
This’s Rafale M 02 ?
Yes.

Does that mean they also improved the RWR? Because we dont get L band on the RWR of the F3-R that we have in game. Having L band would be nice for dealing with pansir.
well with the HMD trying to get a IR lock at people that are dumping flares during a dogfight, they are practicly useless on the Rafale
Of note:
- The HMD isnt the only thing he says makes the Rafale good (tho its certainly highly praised)
- It should never have been given to a non-F4.1 French Rafale, and even if we just want to handwave that and keep it, it shouldnt have been done without the function being added to planes that should also have it (F-16C for example has had this bug reported for 3mth+ and was accepted)
Either way, just wanted to post that video cuz its a genuinly good vid talking about the Rafale as a whole in sim, since a lot of ppl here still seem to be of the mindset the plane is terrible and basicly npt worth playing over the M2K5F (which is an insane take)
I wasnt crying? I cant even post a video complimenting the Rafale without you guys jumping on my back about it lmao.
The point of me posting that wasnt “oh look, Rafale OP, plz nerf” I just figured you guys might actually like a good video diacussing the Rafale in the Rafale thread.
problem is that you’re religiously obsessed to remove the HMD from the raf because it’s not a F.4, so maybe that’s the point.
and i agree with them, this game already has a lot of inaccuracies for the sake (or not) of balance with plenty of vehicles already… there’s no point to be this harsh on a single plane when you look at others
ie. italian F104S, italy never had IR missiles apart from Aim9Bs and Aim9Fs until we got the 9Ls, technically that jet shouldn’t have neither Aim9Js and CMs. but the premium turkish one does so here we are with a 104S with both.
