Agreed, in the air to air department it won’t radically change from 2000-5F
In the CAS role, it mostly depends if they remove the 20km pod stabilisation limit and the 15km laser limit. If those are extended a bit, and assuming AASM comes, it could receive a boost in that department
The MiG-29SMT has been missing a better targeting pod for some time, what are you on about
For your information, MiG-29SMT is missing its targeting pod. Su-27SM too; what are you talking about?

Seems to be Rafale number B313 from base BA113 Saint-Dizier (immatriculation 113-HI), as well as B328 from same base (immatriculation 113-IC)
If it carried ASMP-A or Exocet, it would be F3 for sure, but with AASM only, quite impossible to know since all other modifications between rafale F2 and early F3 are internal
if i recall, it have been integrated on Indian Rafales (F.3R variant) (as Indian Mirage 2000 used BGL-1000 in the past which have been used for different skirmishes against Pakistan border)
those AASM are 250kg ones ^^
Those are AASMs 250
The 500 kg variant isn’t used by the armée de l’air, only the 250 kg and more recently the 1000 kg one
sadly, i might add
true i forgot that i’ll edit
The Eurofighter crowd seems to think that plane is infallible and can be no way inferior to its’ peers, however I should submit this;
The Rafale should be able to supercruise up to 1.4 mach with six MICA or four MICA and a 1250L drop tank. Let’s ensure this is properly modeled when it comes to the game.
I think it’s best to keep those two threads to themselves now.
I would like to see this capability honoured, though I would like to inquire as to the where the source is from (as in which airshow and where they claim to have received the evidence for this claim), unless its like an officially backed airshow.
Also are there any supporting sources as this seems more secondary in nature but I could be wrong?
What line do you guys think the Rafale is gonna be put in? I’d guess after the 4K or F1CT since those two lines don’t have much at Rank VIII, But I’m unsure
If it’s a C than after the M2K, if it’s an M than after the M4K, if it’s a B than after the F1CT
which one was on the list again?
the C f3-2 or f3-R
I’m betting after the Mirage 2000-5f, simply because that means the most grind, aka the most potential money.
The Rafale F3.2 will likely be after the Mirage 2000-5F
Naval variants of the Rafale will likely be after something like the Mirage 4000
