so most likely CFT will only be on new builds and a select few retrofitted?
Are they even likely to fit them.
Other ahem * aircraft * of a similar configuration found it ruined the aerodynamics so severely it really wasn’t worth the installation costs, also no one was interested in them and the Rafale has some really rather impressive fuel and buddy refuelling capabilities.
I clicked into the Rafale thread, and it’s actually discussions of the Rafale, what is this miracle o.O
That aside, be there any other payload that can occupy the central pylon on the version we have? I am unthrilled with the current bomb, and I am curious if anything else could occupy the space. Is neither here nor there, but got grumpy at it so figured I would ask you lot.
Besides AM.39, SCALP-EG and ASMP-A, not really. The AASM-1000 can be carried on it starting with F.4 though.
Would be nice to have exocet and scalp but we won’t be getting those for a while I’d wager. At least now I know what to hope for in the event they bother to implement these things.
This is handy.
For clarity, GBU 24 is completely adequate as ordnance, I just personally am not thrilled by it and have not been with it on any of the aircraft I like that can carry it.
Gaijin seem really odd about adding anti-ship missiles. They added them as a gimmick on the German Tornado then refused to add them to anything else until randomly the F-2A got them.
They did add proper sea skimming to the AS.34 on the dev server though so maybe they’re preparing to add more anti-ship missiles.

I have considered pinging smin about that to try and interrogate them to find out if that is the case, because I very much want exocet. I seek to smite the boats.
But also, no idea if it is remotely worth it.
I did. at least a bit
So basically, if its not a benefit to GRB. its a low priority
That is the single least useful answer he could have devised I feel. Bleh.
😿
Guess we won’t be getting exocet any time soon.
Quite bold for a guy that only main F-14 😏

Yeah further research led me to that conclusion. Still I’ve never seen the Rafale carry two separate things on its two belly hardpoints so I wonder what they’re for
Maybe just in case they ever need them for a future ordnance or smth
It’s more about not being a empty-brained nationalist. I just happen to like the F-14.
Well at least most of these people are indeed playing Rafale (or EFT to some extent) unlike yours. And good luck assuming all the Bug Reporter are French Nationalist, definitely unbiased opinion.
saying that the bug reporting managers hate france is definitly not unbaised either
Sea Eagles on Buccaneer would be dope
