For me the worst part about them is that they all kinda look they have hunchbacks, pretty ugly.
I hope there will be announcements regarding ASPTT and laser-guided rockets for Mirage 2000 and Rafale, it would be interesting to see the progress made since the announcements a few years ago

Idk about that, man. 27k+ pounds obese F-16C/70+ looks like it’s about to die of heart failure, multiple blood clots and high blood pressure all at the same time.
The only decent looking CFTs that don’t turn the base plane into a fat whale aesthetically are the ones on the Super Hornet, honestly.
Ahem but I digress, back to French top BR plane discussion.

The Rafale looks just great imo, and the gripen is fine too. The only one I find ugly is the eft
Also the Rafale B and C are not very different, the canopy is just as long for both and only its shape is a bit different
But obviously yeah tandem seats visually work better on larger aircrafts like the Eagles and Flankers
Fair enough, to each their own, if I had to rank them I would put EFT in 3rd place, Rafale in 2nd and Gripen in 1st.
Also yeah, I agree that the Flankers and eagles just look better with the 2 seater configuration.
I mean, look at this:

Yeah. While I have to simp for the rafale, I live the aesthetic of the gripen. It’s got a lot of angles, but well proportioned. I don’t find the same appeal in the cylinder with wings and 2 massive air intakes that is the eurofighter

Yeah I agree, the Gripen and Rafale really have some cool curves and angles, they look like they have an actual design kinda like sport cars, while the typhoon… It kinda looks like chunks of metal strapped together
