Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

IR bug fixed?

Nah… now the second i locked, it went to track memory so i couldnt launch, every single try to lock. I couldnt shoot for the rest of battle.

The devs have had access to a chart of installed static thrust. In game, the thrust has I believe around 2-3% loss compared to those charts. I think « fixing » this would not improve super cruise very much. Drag reduction might be the best solution to increase both super cruise and STR.
However, we already rip at 101%, that’s going to be annoying if you can rip at 100%

A chart of installed “static” thrust is a single datapoint, not much you can do with that.

Did you mean uninstalled thrust chart then?

Again, drag reduction is not the simple solution. Sustained turns have more to do with L/D ratios and oswald coefficient - both based on AoA. If the curve is altered you could very well have the same drag in level flight conditions with improved lift/drag as AoA increases.

These curves are freely accessible in SAFRAN’s archives. The devs should have them

Again, uninstalled thrust values. If the thrust is not around 9% less than what is shown the installed thrust is too high already

Little nose camera thingo no longer swaps to target locked with radar or irst. It’s pretty annoying.

Prior, would at least sometimes work. Now never work.

Has anyone have the information about RWR’s Band Coverage?

Im kinda surprised that current Rafale still cant detect K Band lock unlike EFT, considering how advanced Rafale’s sensors are i believe it should be able to detect K Band.

out of curiosity, has to be 9%? can be something less or more?

You don’t want more thrust efficiency loss on an aircraft.
The higher the number the lower your thrust is going to be.

Less is maybe possible don’t know tho.

not what i asked i think

what i want to know is if the air intake loss is always around 9-10% or if there are cases when it’s lower (or higher)

F22 or f35 should have higher thrust efficiency loss due to the s-ducts.
They had to sacrifice alot of flight performance for stealth.

Rafale also has S ducts btw. Which is why the current loss figure seems fair.

does anyone know how to use Rafale’s arrest hook ? I couldn’t get it to deploy in custom battles

Are building KAI Boramae KF-21

  1. They’re about 25 years behind
  2. They are still using slam eagles and they like them

Hey all, eurofighter pilot here.

I’d just like to mention that I struggle IMMENSELY against Rafale specifically. And that is a good thing because it keeps Eurofighters in check.
A jet with almost the same flight parameters and capabilities as mine, but with 8 MICA’s that I consider the best ARH in the game. (The only ARH that I struggle with defending, I die to it 9 out of 10 times even trying to notch it)

So nice going Frenchbros, for getting one of (possibly the ) best top tier aircraft in game!

It is not working yet

Thats why F22 has insane engines to compensate channel looses.

F22’s flight model is still one of the best, if not the best.
