Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Differences in Typhoon and Rafales radar is pretty relevant.
by all means report it

Bringing up “EFT” again in a thread where you’ve been warned multiple times doesn’t show good intentions.

Please go to the EFT thread

ngl having the “screen” only in front of one eye seems kinda bad

Perhaps for some technical/economic reason that is unknown to the general public :)

but it seems weird to me having it only infront of one eye

like imagine the eye-strain from playing VR but only on one eye and also clarity could be a problem with one eye not being able to see the display

Having the screen on a single eye is a slightly more considered choice than it seems. It allows for a sense of distance (HMDs can cause a “flattening” of what you see). Having it on only one eye allows you to have both the information and this perception.

Furthermore, the system can be moved on the helmet, allowing it to be positioned in front of the pilot’s “aiming” eye. And since the way you see things is based on this eye, it doesn’t impact the perception of information at all.

Considering the Striker 1/2 HMD and F-35 JSF HMDS all using a full field of view HMD the idea that a monocle based system is advantageous seems not to hold water.

As @ron_2303 mentioned its old 80’s tech, sure the newer symbology is there on newer systems like the JHMCS II but you’re still limited in field of view pretty massively. Which means you need to move your head/neck around more.

I never said it’s advantageous over the full-vision system; it’s a technology that has advantages and disadvantages, and more modern systems are obviously more efficient.

Moreover, what I mentioned about the advantages of the eyeplate display doesn’t apply to more modern systems because they are systems that project onto the visor and not onto a plate (as in the case of the F-35). Technological developments in displays and materials have made it possible to reduce the flattening effect on these viewfinders, which is why the new models achieve this result.

Since Scorpion is likely to stay can you look to this bug report?

Rafale deserves its properly modelled Scorpion HMSC rather than copy paste american model.

wait until you see the EF thread

Yeah the **** measuring contest is getting really old (and it goes for some fans of each plane)

it was about the Brimstone seeker, or something and a certain person that is active in here was like:
“I dont accept these sources, because it dosent line up with my views”
(atleast thats what i got from those messages)

Yup. Getting really frustrating going into a thread to learn more about a vehicle, just to see people arguing and 500 flagged posts :)

I’m really thinking about creating a “Rafale vs. Eurofighter battlefield” topic so that people stop arguing in more thoughtful topics.

Isn’t Scorpion originally American though? Dont get me wrong I’m sure it was changed to work with Rafale better, with the stuff it displays and everything, but it should be a copy paste US Scorpion no?
