Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

I mean, the F.4 will likely come when they plan to introduce new missiles

It should have been even pesa version, but with correct mica. But if they cant get mica right for BVR engagements, nothing more than having more of them cant be done exept lowering BR but 13.7 wont matter anyway until we get to 14.7 so in next 3 years.

Oh yay, they can now throw out historical accuracy because who cares about that lmao. Looks like we won’t be getting a MICA fix too because “muh 8 missiles”!

Do people not know what is best for them?

There won’t be a mica fix because the mica working well would depend on gaijin having better servers it is as simple as that.

not what French players asked,… in the basis, i was ok for F.2.2,…
no interest to add earlier variants now and make France not interesting for the next 20 years of the game.

not at all

The range is hard capped at 50.8km and the drag is too high, none of which are server issues

Or giving the MICA its extra 37.5% of range it lacks and numerous other modeling issues that aren’t a cause of the server…

This major update just gets dumber everytime I look lmao

Those are servers issues, that is why r73 and mica were working well on devserver.

It wobbles too much in live server and loose big amount of speed but yeah those are things to solve too but putting it at 80km won’t change it as it would loose all the speed that way too.

the job was done behind your back?

the only thing we can wait now is B and M variants,… then it will be over,…

Works well on test drive too

Yes, test drive and devserver works well.

No matter how many times you repeat it : no those are not server issues.

The MICA can reach 50.8km is fired high (10km) and fast (mach 2), and no matter its speed, no matter its time of flight, it will just self explode at that point.

Then there’s the ridiculous deceleration, which occurs AFTER the burner is off (meaning the TVC has nothing to do with it). Only other possible explanation : the drag is too high (oh and the diameter is still 165 instead of 160mm)

Obviously. Turning a semi-accurate F.3R into an F.3R / F.4.1 hybrid is definitely not my idea…

no it’s not,… it’s within it’s flight model:

MICA-EM Flight model data is showing 50km (the +0.8km dedale_stargate was speaking about is the time missile activate self destruct sequence)

I dont think we would have had that fix anyway. Only fix is to have TVC and non TVC micas. I dunno if they can make them so its decided during launch which file would be used based on range of launch but as of now, they would have to ridiculously reduce its drag where it would be probably broken if launched at like 12-15km of alt, another thing is loft, it pretty much doesnt loft.

I just saw the news, sorry to see that everything you did is going to be overlooked

I thought it has always been 50KM?

In game, yes. Irl? No, it should be around 80km

To anyone of any significance reading this thread:

We DO NOT want 2 extra fake missiles, I know it is difficult to research but we have provided you with numerous sources. We want a fixed MICA, please. It doesn’t matter if you have to mess around with TVC outside of X range as @MysteriousHonza said.
