Yeah but frankly it’s getting very annoying. The last 400 messages have all been that sterile back and forth between whining about competitiveness or whining about a supposed “historical accuracy”. This is really flooding this otherwise good topic.

Or maybe someone actually reported it with proper sources maybe even internally. Just because the report is “accepted” doesnt mean it will result in a change because its all up to devs at the end.

Is the non-consensual IR HMD lock issue fixed ?
It’s very annoying when I’m trying to get a radar lock with HMD but the plane attempts to get an IR lock for some reason and ends up locking on flares, and I can’t launch my mica. Caused me to lose fights so many times
That’s because gaijin added the “best way to track and guide target will switch automatically to best radar/IRST mode”
How do I make a suggestion to add an option to disable that ?
You think Dassault created a software with a feature for a third pylon just for fun without cable. Sorry to say this, but why would Dassault make a third pylon appear in their software without cables? That’s really poor reasoning.

Sadly it’s been plaguing the Soviet aircrafts for at least 4 patches, and I don’t think it’s gonna change.
For the Rafale, I’d rather we get the option to lock MICA from the IRST honestly.
It NEEDS to change, this is extremely annoying. Costed me so many kills and fights.
I don’t want my jet to lock IR without my consent
Does the snail support unconsensual IR locks ?
(the last line is sarcastic ofc)
To change the topic i wanted to ask how good is Rafale in a dogfight? When i was still grinding for Eurofighter i won 3 out of 3 dogfights in Gripen when playing sim. I know Eurofighter beats Rafale but does Gripen too? And what about f15s, f16s and other top tier jets?
It depends on fuel. As of now i mainly play RB until they fix rafales hud and give TD box to helmet. But when i merge, i dont stay in prolonged bfm as i always choose one circle, pull out airbrake and turn and burn to get reliable mica shot off once they start getting back hot on you. If they dont, you can mostly sit on them and IR locked gunsight is super reliable, ive managed to get 700meters high aspect kills with it. Both at speed or slow.

Whoa stop the hate on the Tornado…
I dont know why you all expected this brand new Radar mechanic to perform like it should IRL.
Germany are pushing hard into Turkey and India for the Typhoon.
I think India has a higher chance of buying them. They know the risks of depending on one nation for your military procurement. France cannot meet the demand of the Navy and the Air force
Hate? If anything, i praise its radar to be one of the best in entire game even though its hprf only.

It’s a great Radar…and the Tornado needs it, the rest of the jet is suffering!
Gaijin have made an uncessary rod for their back with Radars. There was no need to add AESA/PESA Radars to the game when they knew they would not function realistically. Pantsir and TOR are the exceptions to this.
Now because these are new and classified we end up with Radars like the Foxhunter AI and the Blue Vixen performing better than the CAPTUR-M based on publicly available information!
It’s Leclerc and CR2 armour all over again :(

Germany?
They were doing the opposite
Turkey has already ordered Eurofighters with the British leading it
The only reason India isn’t buying more Rafales is due to there being such a back log

You are correct they are purchasing them from the UK.
It’s more France cant meet the supply chain needs and being dependant on a singular nation and supplier is dangerous in a world of sanctions.
? they bought enough rafale for dassault to open an assembly line of Rafale directly in India.
They are enough commited to it.

Do they produce all the parts or final assembly?
It is the chosen Naval aircraft for the IAF
