Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

because it is, you should never need those against sidewinders because those missiles were never the problem (they are way worse then all the other missiles in turn performance)

Hell even in SRE which is a lot more reliant on those angles its literally the same loadout you run with other planes (most recently j10)

32 Large flares should be taken all day everyday. People overflare in this game a lot and that makes them flare even more because they do not understand

You can already do that. You’re not forced to take the extra MICAs; they’re entirely optional. The countermeasure thing should be an optional thing, but the only reason to complain about the eight MICA loadout now is if you don’t want other people to have them.

Lol, the Rafale is an omnirole fighter designed to be highly modular. Not installing a third cable on every airframe would limit its flexibility, especially in combat scenarios where the additional pylon might be needed. I’m sure the cable is installed because of the current global conflicts, and it’s not just a “numeric feature.”. I know my france we are smart.

Displaying an inoperable pylon in the software would be a significant design oversight, especially in a combat aircraft where situational awareness is critical. Military avionics systems typically only show configurations that the aircraft can actually support. Considering the time required for maintenance and installation of a “cable” and the minimal impact of added weight, it’s obvious that the cables are already in place.

The fact that a fighter designed to be omnirole wouldn’t lack its 13th and 14th pylons is obvious.
But yeah anyway as how you think that approx : 3kg every extra cable pylon would ruin the simple physics and software/hardware application i think i don’t need to debate with you because you think i’m “d*mb”

Good thing you can. Every single late F3 is what you have ingame, just without purchased pylons and HMDs. Internally, they are pretty much same thing.

Just delete the Mirage 2000C-S5, it’s the same as the Mirage 2000-5F just without some pylons and a few different avionics.

Same with the F-15A, just play the F-15C bro

lol

Why do we need AS-30L on it again?

Are you intentionally forgetting that Dassault made Rafale with 8 micas and french just didnt choose this option? Its obviously not made up by Gaijin, it existed irl

Why not?

Mm, good point

You can simply always just play the current Rafale with a 6 MICA loadout. Just because it can mount 8x MICA-EM doesn’t mean you have to take all those missiles, shocking right?

Just because YOU want it to be limited to 6 missiles for “muh service loadout” or whatever it is nowadays, doesn’t mean it should also be limited for everyone else.

so…we will get the full coverage DDM-NG.

Nah, he will come back with “i dont want to play fictional plane” because he cant comprehend that this thing exists, AdA just never bough two sticks on which you can mount missile.

Yes, said plane existed, just without any combat capability and couldn’t even fire the MICAs. The plane we have in game had said systems and the ability to fire MICAs, so is fake.

Again, am not saying you shouldn’t play it, people are allowed to play things they want to play. When I unlock the Rafale I will likely play with 8 MICAs because I do not want to artificially nerf myself.

I am expressing discontent with Gaijin going against their standards of modeling to bring it to what it is. I am also informing those who do not understand what this is and the fact that the Rafale we have in game never existed.

Prove to me a combat capable French Rafale F.3R ever existed with 8 MICAs.

Don’t waste your time because no such thing ever existed. It is thus fake.

Its in french service as we speak… its not being equiped with outer pylons. Thats all. Its still perfectly capable to carry them in combat once AdA pays.

Ok, you don’t understand what I’m getting at. I do not want to engage with you anymore as I have explained my point as simply as possible. Have a good one.

It’s literally something that never existed, so cannot be represented by either of your categories.
