i think the IAF used HMD on F3’s, but French air force never had them integrated until F4 afaik
ehhh, there is obvious things specialy coming to my mind of getting denied because its not the in service variant even when tested

That’s more of “It should be on those planes if it actually functions” than “remove it from everything else”
Imagine how many missiles Germany would lose, for example

Idk I still think the Rafale is perfectly fine as is rn. Since it’s pretty much the end of the line for a looong time to come
I do think it should be increased in BR along with additions that match it, and then its spot filled in with earlier Rafales

i would say armament variants and literal weapon slots and hmd are a bit different.
Besides that germany specialy would only use a few guided bomb variants. the brimstones should have been upgraded to better variants long ago in the game
This seems like the most reasonable thing to do
honestly the fact you instantly got one of the best rafale variants and skipped the early ones is propably the biggest bullshit. The pesa ones would have performed just as good

But its not armament variants, mostly east German jets from Russia have missiles Germany never even owned, matching things like the Yak-141 getting things that were planned, etc.
It is the standard that if it existed, could be used, and was tested, it gets added (At least for Air, Ground is a mess of double standards)

Probably more accurate to its irl radar if they added it with PESA
cant tell you enough about the russian missles specialy with the ET and ER.
But the typical claim that often came up. Germany did have R-73s
It was a strange option to add tbh,
but i think it was to give someone else than the US or Russia the top dog for a bit.
Since the smaller nations are pretty much never “meta”
I support adding more advanced aircraft to smaller nations to vary the player base from just the 2 largest nations
(If they have indigenous aircraft to add…)
US has not been sole top dog since F-14A on release
Well yeah it’s still usually been one of the best since e most nations got the same shit when the F-16/F15 etc was added
You can see current Rafale F4.1s and their pilots equipping the helmets.
nice, but these were delivered in 2023 so its after the HMD were bought, not before
the rafale is present in no other trees, so its the sole top dog. basically everyone got an F-16 or F-15, Rafale is one of the few jets lucky enough to not be copy pasted into different trees. Im glad its not copy pasted, but idk something like an advanceed eagle would be nice to be more level with an F3R Rafale
And by it being the best atm, attracts more players to said tech tree and benefits Gaijin
From what i remember, for the HMD part yeah, you are right, for the 8 missiles, it still was fully integrated, that is why at the start people were arguing that it could be 8 by showing picture of f3r with the thing in the cockpit where you could see the missiles and saw that even if it was carrying 6 there were some sort of indicators suggesting 8 should be possible and also the fact that DGA and Dassault had a stand with a f3r with 8 missiles but it’s true that it did not carry in service more than 6.

how does it benefit Gaijin more than adding something that would be the best to another tree though? does that mean US should get F-22 this summer, because it would attract more players and benefits Gaijin?
