Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Could you please check this Community Bug Reporting System
It is actually a thing (but you will have to see it in the game, because the video is capped at 60fps, and the difference isnt very noticeable). The shock diamonds also seem to differ. I am not entirely sure if the afterburner should wobble this much or not. Maybe something like “Size over lifetime” is not configured properly

Is it normal that the rafale’s HMD does not display tracked targets ? I find it pretty strange that such an advance HMD does not have such a critical feature but I didn’t find any report about this feature’s missing.

i made a bug report about 10 days ago about it they are planning to implement hmd changes soon but i think the devs is on vacation at the moment

That would make sense. Good thing I went on vacation during this time too, so I won’t have to deal with all of those (relatively tiny) issues !

wow I never saw the video from Thales about the Scorpion HMD, amazing ! Thanks for sharing

Hello, I will take a look when I am home.

Wow, I didn’t even know the F-105 had an ECM pod.
When is Gaijin finally going to fix the Rafale’s radar?
f105 ecm
Also, I’m really fed up with the radar switching itself to IR mode. It’s made me miss so many opportunities.

False, as a war thunder player either you never leave home or you don’t have one because you spent all your money in GEs

when will they fix Rafale’s arrest hook then ? It’s dumb that the devs are not letting Rafale land on carriers even though IT HAS A GIANT ARREST HOOK ON THE MODEL. Is there a bug report made about this ?

I thought it was supposed to be working but the animation is broken

from my experience, it doesn’t work AT ALL

The Rafale HMD should be able to display tracked enemy aerial targets since radars do display IFF, but how would it be able to display enemy ground vehicles? Currently the Rafale does not have GMTI either.

Datalink, pre-saved data packs,… ?

My main problem currently is that it doesn’t display any hostile aerial target, even hard locked ones. >_>

None of the mechanisms we have in-game yet to my understanding.

Yeah, if he could change his report to just hostile aerial targets from the radar then maybe it could get passed.

Probably cause copied over from the A-10 which doesn’t have a radar.

Which really doesn’t matter considering allied ground targets are displayed regardless.

That seems plausible.

Which makes sense since tanks can have IFF, but there’s no way to identify ground enemy vehicles differently than the civilian ones unless there’s datalink, buddy lasing, etc. implemented into the game.

Or simply when lasing the enemy. Thankfully this do work and is pretty useful in simulator battles. I use both the laser lock and radar lock on my HID (or laser lock in HMD while tracking a plane in front with the radar HUD marker) to track 2 targets at the same time. One with the radar, the other with the OSF

im pretty sure its because it was take from aircraft that coulnt track air targets (A-10C and Heli’s) so they didnt bother. the AV-8B has the same issue with its HUD, they just ripped it from the GR.7 so it lacks any radar indication :(
