true, although i’d say it is too slow for modern SAMs and radar now
which is why FC/ASW is being developed
Also why the Exocet missile in it’s newer models is able to do/go 180° before re-comitting if required. ^^"
ah torpedo style it is then X)
Now that we are getting better Afterburners, here is what M88-2E4s look like;
(Very high altitude)

Predator Blue and Death Purple sound like good names for those AB colors at day/night

Well… I mean this is pretty nice
I am willing to bet good money it will be frankenstiend so it gets a gun, the damacoles and the GBUs but is a Rafale M F.1 in all other regards
This is if the list is accurate but this is the reliable source so…

It’ll be added, then 3 weeks later be sent to the same sorry state as Gripen.

3 weeks of MICA IR? The little Timmys would hate to see me coming

I will actually cry if it comes in without MICA IR 😿
Though it does further make me sad fat Gripen with extra hardpoints not leaked.

Oh cmon you and I both know those are crocodile tears. The MICA IR would be very “balans”
I sincerely hold it is about time minor nations get their “better stuff they built”.
Yanks have had too much fun.

Which model is that? I’ve only ever seen rafales with up to 4 AAM and that’s only the 4.1 standard iirc
It’s mostly a demo/propaganda piece but could be what they plan to equip the F.5 with

Yeah that’s what I thought. Hopefully they just “add” the NG missile to give france a boost in range. That would really only make sense if they also added the 77-1 and the 120C-5. Either way it’ll be a rat plane

They could just give current MICA the missing 30km. 50km max range is MICA IR iirc.

Ideally they just fix the regular MICA and the platform does the rest. I would want the NG to be its own thing rather than nerfed to the ground to be on that level.

the max range is worthless if it doesn’t have the energy to go that distance, and right now it doesn’t. The extra energy lost while maneuvering wouldn’t somehow make it go that far. Really it just needs a stronger booster.
Perhaps didn’t come across correct. Currently mica wobbles itself out of energy, so even the 50km is unachievable. I would want them to unfuck it so it has even a hope of getting near, even vaguely near, the correct max range. Whether they have to fudge numbers to achieve it, or not.
