Rafale’s TV sensor should be cued by its passive sensors.

If you could add a source about spectra ability to pinpoint direction (if you don’t have it already) it would probably make your case stronger

Good call, added.

The contract for the Rafales was signed in January of 2019. The contract, not a performative tit for tat statement in May because Turkey was going to buy F-35s.
They wanted the Rafale first. There is no other way you can put it.
Fair enough,
As soon as they were able to they ordered them though, I don’t know if the same can be said for Rafale as it has looser export restrictions iirc
Still no range indicator on the HUD?

Soooo, Kfir got its aesa. It is scanning significantly faster than aesa on rafale… da hell is this. Where gaijin actually gets numbers for scan rate is beyond me.
Its substantially smaller than RBE2 so it cant have more T/R modules. How in the hell is it better in everything compared to RBE exept scan volume in one mode.
Its track zone is limited to like 180km both in MPRF and HPRF TWS.
Apparently Elta 2052 comes in config of 300/500/1500 T/R modules. There is no way in hell its 1500 in kfirs nose. I bet its 300, with a LOT of luck 300-500. Still substantially less than RBE2.
Oh and in test drive, if i compare rafales ACM modes and helmet? Significantly worse than Kfirs. Kfir just pics them up instantly if they are not in perfect notch. Its hands down best radar ingame as of now.
Can someone explain me, where gaijin came up with Rafales scan rate which is subpar even to god damn foxhunter and every other ESA we have ingame now?
Instantly picked up MiG-15 not even hot at 80km in MPRF.
But hey, RBE starts seeing them at 70± hot… Cold? That thing is blind.

Dunno. What’s the current STR on Rafale?
Is it?
Again, I don’t know ingame nubers, but I do know that M88 has problems with the Rafale’s tiny intakes, which made M88-3 pointless, unless new intake was designed and (retro)fitted into the airframes.
This is why the plane does mere M1.8.
When it comes to drag, Rafale has plenty of it.
Check Rafale’s airshow routine. You’ll rarely see it outta burner, unlike, say, Typhoon.
Large fuel fraction, close coupled canards and blended wing make a whole lota parasitic drag.
HMD locks with aesa POG…
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.

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.
