Afaik the pylons used by the SP3 that was only used in service on F4 worked since the F3R anyway. So regarding avionics and elecctronics 8 MICA on an F3R is not false. It’s only false in the regard of what has been put into service and what hasn’t.
The plane they built missed significant amounts of avionics and was not combat capable, thus it does not represent the Rafale in game which is combat capable.
If they changed the name to F.4.1, changed up the IRST and added the AASM 1000 it would be a real thing
I think he was referring to the C01 prototype, which was missing significant avionics
does the mirage 2000 5f have UAE or greek roundels?
No i talk about late F3s… they literally have ability to carry outer pylons… AdA never bought the capability.
India did so they got outer pylons.
Change it to an Indian Rafale, nice and realistic than.
They just didn’t purchase the pylons but the capability is here in terms of avionics.

In any way. How can people be so dramatic about 2 pylons that are semi-historical when paper vehicles exists in game or some still under testing protos like 2S38 are in game.

Because people want to play their favorite aircraft in its real form, they don’t want to play a model made up by some dude in an office in Hungary.
Afaik WT is no historical simulator. Some poeople def need to revise their view on the game.

Losing battle in this thread.
Doesn’t help Gaijin themselves no longer bother to maintain any form of accuracy on the hardpoint/armament front. Haven’t for a few years. Annoying.

Tbf, it doesn’t help that wt constantly markets itself as the most historical, realistic, “authentic” vehicle combat game on the market
Not throwing shade, I agree, it is very annoying how certain aircraft/tanks get fantasy loadouts to make things “balanced” but when you give them a well-written document, they throw it out of the window for “historical” (see: F-4F early and MiG-21PFM)

Afaik most of their advertising as of late went into “WarThuner is a realistic game” or “Come play X and Y top tier vehicle from that famous nation” which in istelf isn’t false as mots of the systems in game are realistic but they don’t claim absolute historical accuracy about in game vehicles anymore, don’t know if they ever did.
Smin talked about Exported F.3R : in such Indian Rafales were exported with those SP3 pylons, which makes it “accurate” - again Gaijin is mixing aircraft of same standards from diverse nations to make them “interesting” to the eyes of the “PlayerBase”
in such, it is done as Mirage 2000-5F (which is mixing -5 mk2 of Greeks and -9 from the UAE Airforces - even worse as it’s completely different standards on this one)

real balance should be to put MICA-EM at 80km range, and not the 50km frankenstein that came from nowhere (even MICA-IR, the shortest variant is stated at 60km range)
wrong again,… as per Smin explanation - Indian Rafale F.3R have both those.

India uses SOP-EH, not standard F.3Rs.

not really no one cares anymore rmv got aasm, 2000-5f has 2 extra magics, this has been happening for a while its a very niche bunch who want a 100% accurate aircraft no matter the cost

And they still can, taking 6 micas is still an option
It doesn’t give them the high they want from taking this meaningless stance clearly cause otherwise they’d just move on with their 6 mica loadout in game
