so you’re saying false to something Smin, the community manager, said about the game?
not true,… but for a plane tagged to be french and having operationnal service records, it seems useless to make it to Export models, then make it french.
it’s like having brimstones on German typhoons, they never got them IRL, but yet they have it in game
or, get rid of Nations already, and make Techtrees by Constructors instead.
Dassault tested the 8 missiles load out. If you are not happy, you can say to yourself it’s a Dassault F3, not a French airforce one. If you really want to play a realistic F3R, just remove those 2 MICA. You always can…
And if you are still unhappy, then stfu, it’s starting to get old to see people always complain because the stuff we get is to good
I mean, Germany has a way better claim to IRST than y’all got to 8 Micas & HMD because Germany actually has three aircraft equipped with it. But for some reason Gaijin at best would add those as a separate vehicle instead of adding it to the existing one. Gaijin is just incredibly inconsistent with how they apply their rules, and it’s really getting on my nerves.

Ah come on not the Germans…
The way better claim in question : A testbed
So The testbed F3R that served to qualify SP3 and was probably used to justify 8 MICA is as legit as your test Typhoon.

Not a single EFT in WT has had Brimstone 1s in real life. The British use Brimstone 2s (remains to be seen whether they will upgrade to 3s), Germany has tested Brimstone 2s & 3s on the IPA 7, electing to acquire the latter variant in the end (deliveries are to begin in the next 2 years), and Italy has literally never had Brimstones.
So it’d be more accurate to say that the variant of the Brimstones used by Germany (AND the UK) is incorrect and should be changed to Brim 2s for UK and Brim 3s for Germany.

What i’m saying false to is that we don’t get export Rafales as French just didn’t buy the fuccking pylon for the F3 and that stops there. Had they decided to buy it prematurly F3R would have had 8 MICCA in french service. People like you that want 100% historical accuracy just don’t have their place on WT. You people are juts being mad annoying for a game that never pretended to be an historical simulator… Wt is just a game with realistic mechanics and that’s it.
Not quite. Your testbed belongs to Dassault, while at least one of ours (IPA8, not sure about IPA3) belongs and is operated by the Luftwaffe
All (German) IPA aircraft are owned by the Luftwaffe (WTD 61 to be more precise).

This testbed is operated by Dassault and DGA as well as Thales and all industrials that must run tests on the Rafale LMAO. And people that run the tests are actually people from the Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace anyway… Industrials just cccheck measurements are in acccordance to what was expected.
Dassault & Industrie partners =/= Armée de l’air
Re read
It still doesnt belong to the armée de l’air, does it?
It’s 50/50 afaik the measurement tools installed on the base that is used for the tests belong to DGA and industrials and the plane belong to the crew that operates it afaik so in the end it’s owned by a specific squad of the AdA&E
If it does belong to the armée de l’air, than the case would be no different from the IPA8. But from what ive read in this thread it sounded to me like that was not the case. And i could not quickly find any source on which airframes CEAM (Frances test squadron afaik) operates

Also this is where it gets interesting because defense industries in France are very closely related to the army as the industrials are all present on french territory and iirc have close colaboration with the army. While for the EFT consortium the army must operate testbeds beccause if it was the industrials that operated the test planes it would be a happy mess as the plane would have to change country various time to properly run tests.
CEAM basically only operated aircrafts that served testbed at a point or another afaik.
If you want to report weapons load used on testbeds feel free to do so but for such a thing like 8 MICA for F3R to happen to US or any other nation you need very strong reports. And the one that got presented to devs was ultra solid.
The people that popped on this thread only to yap is insane. Instead try to get same treatments and if they get refused by gaijin you yell at injustice anyway while when someone takes a look at the reports made for such things they are more fragile than the efing skellerex in Mario Bros games.
I’m aware of that much. I was hoping to quickly figure out if that squadron tested the additional pylons and on which airframe (and if that airframe belongs to industry or not). No idea of that information even exists tho
