I know
Sometimes you should think before writing because the current FM of the M2K for example comes from a bug report made with western sources and it made M2K into one of the best airframes of the game.
Also most of the time when FM changes bug reports are made and backed up by the right sources gaijin will actually correct the FM error most if the time but ofc when the FM changes is about a premium plane Gaijin might decide to say “F you” because ofc if you ruin a premium plane you remove a way of making money lol
where exactly did i specified M2000??? NOWHERE… i said most, not all… maybe sometimes you should read and think before writing.
And by saying most you are wrong anyway because it’s quite the opposite. Most FM changes are not questionned by gaijin except when the sources the reporter offers seems weird or as i said when the Fm report is about an airframe that serves as a premium plane.
That isn’t completely true, one of the major resources utilized to model the new FM are from Taiwanese data.
Even then, still remains in accordance with the fact gaijin don’t go “My russian sources are better than whatever your sources are” 99% of the time. They do it yes but as more sources get available to public gaijin can less and less refuse reports by pulling their bad made sources. Only cases where they are inflexible is when you wanna touch(nerf) premium planes or planes that a part of the devteam likes, like the Gripen for example that even tho it’s been mostly fixed still has a part of enhancement to it’s performances iirc. But most aircrafts are a bit enhanced ccompard to reality so i won’t complain about the state of Gripen they fixed it a bit anyway.
Hi! I was wondering if I could ask you a question.
In the description above, you said that the F4 has MICA 8 rounds, but in the picture in the article from 2017, it is centered.
The photo in the article from 2016 is also centered.
That’s not true, they went with tertiary Russian sources for F-5A/C/ and F-20A flight model data over the actual NATOPS. Nothing in the game is going to be accurate going forward, it’s all just made up.

not sure what you mean by “centered” but Rafale F4 wasn’t really a thing back in 2016
F4’s max AA configuration is 2x Meteors + 6x MICAs, like this :
From my understanding, it can also carry 4x Meteors + 2x MICAs, but i can’t really confirm, so take it with a pinch of salt

I don’t really understand why it can have 2 Meteors plus 6 MICAs but only 4 Meteors + 2 MICAs. I don’t think there is any limitation to the wiring nor to the hard points themselves. I think, going gaijin’s way of, if it’s technically possible, then it’s in game, we might see in the far future a configuration of 4x4 MICA Meteor

Under-fuselage hardpoints are part of the basic hardpoints for F1 to F3 versions, F4 version adds under-wing hardpoints
6 missiles configuration
8 missiles configuration

What did i tell just after. If you try touching a premium airframe (F5 and F20 are of that domain), so to say, a way to make money… There is almost a 100% chane gaijin will cancel you.
I apologize for asking the question once again.
It’s a 2014 article and there’s a picture of a MICA mounted under-wing hardpoints, so I was wondering if it’s really only possible on F4 and later.

It was done for testing purposes and occured only on Rafale F3-4 or F3R standards if we get F3.2 theoriccally 8 missiles would be impossible but considering gaijin policy on weapons F3.2 might benefit from the 8 missiles loadout if someone reports it or if gaijin is kind enough to give it default when the plane comes. But don’t expect it too much.

I understand your answer
Thank you!
Originally the 4 Meteors + 2 MICA was a limitation for standards before the F4.1 as you had only 6 missiles pylons and that meteor were installed on 4 of them. Now 4 Meteors + 4 MICA should be possible on F4.1 it’s just it hasn’t been seen on official display for now. Only on a few mockups and stuff not as real payloads.

Sadly, unknown helmet mounted display for Rafale F1 ~ F3.3
French Rafale F4.1 ~ F5 used Scorpion HMCS
Besides what has already been said about this, this specific Rafale (C) is a testbed similar to the IPA Eurofighters, even though this one lacks some parts of SPECTRA and possibly more.
It can be recognized by the missing identification markings below the cockpit and the “nose” tube.
