Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Looking like a F.4.1

Other nation’s upgrades are different from a non combat capable prototype, if this was modeled after an Indian Rafale under the French flag it would be a different conversation.

I have attempted to disengage from this conversation multiple times. Can’t really let it go if I have 5 notifications from 5 different people replying to me every time.

And allow people to spread lies?

This is clearly going nowhere, it’s been two days, it is genuinely better if you two just stop it.

Imagine if we get a functioning SPECTRA IR jammer as well? Then few flares wouldn’t be a problem anymore. To be fair that is why the aircraft comes with so few in the first place; the SPECTRA does most of the job.
Its already implemented with the late su25 variants, so its probably worth being added to the RAVIOLLI too.
PLEASE DONT KILL ME (I know I may have added oil to the fire but it is what it is)

The flares aren’t a problem at all now, with the recent buff to the amount, you shouldn’t need spectra in order to play

Didnt say its needed, just that it exists thus…you get the idea.

The rafale and EUROFIGHTER are already the best jets in the game atm, it’s better that we don’t ruin top tier more with power creep features when we have later variants that can come when those features are ready

RBE2 AESA radar should have 838 active antenna beams modeled.

RBE2 radar on Rafale should have unlimited TWS track

UK and Italian Typhoons don’t even have working Radars and Gaijin is just chain buffing the Rafale.
Rafale like Typhoon didn’t need 8 MRAAMs It is now the best Rat fighter and great at BVR

Written by someone trying to grind for the Typhoon in the Gripen and having the Gripens play style completely negated by the Rafale

You probably know this.

On the lower forward section of the fuselage just behind the intakes, are those 2 black things with the silver circles meant to be black or green?

Are you referring to the rafale as great at BVR? It is a rat plane, same with the 5F, but it is one of the worst planes to decide to do BVR in.

Apparently they are black since F2 Rafales

Interesting.

Aesthetically, green was nicer.

MICA EM kills from 35km seem pretty frequent if you get high and fast.
Gripen has the R-Darter which if shot at anything over 10km is a wasted shot.
