My personal hope is that anti-ship missiles will be added in this update, the fact that the Kormoran has been reworked and that many planes that can fire air-to-sea missiles will be added to the game gives me this hope.
For once i doubt they would as AASM 1000 and MICA NGs x8 could make for the future F4.2 loadouts improvements so that it doesn’t ressemble F3 too much and they could still place F3R between as you’d get AESA radar + AASM L + new range of laser GBUs + new sensors + OSF-IT + Talios + METEOR.
And regarding dumb bombs it’s imo the only weapons they could introduce early as dumb bombs are used by many players for grind and don’t give any advantage to the plane.
Also a funny thing is that Rafale has been showcased with Al Tariq glide bombs so this could be claimed too i guess lul.

If they do the same thing as the 2000-5, it’s likely
Compared to 2000-5F case where gaijin wanted to give a multi-role for no reason Rafale has enough weapons in general to not need Al Tariq it could just be a troll weapon to claim imo, but still funny, the thing looks cool too. Would be a precursor to Smart Gliders when we get Rafale F5 in 2045 X).
You never know, they are capable of anything.
In any way Rafale wouldn’t have access to that much more weapons even if gaijin decided to give some weapons available only to export Rafales. Towed Decoy could be cool to receive tho ngl.

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.
