Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

be a shame if i twisted one of its pins

±70deg from an uncertain source.

a little off topic, you seem to know about the Meteor. how long does its engine burn for in flight (i know nothing about this missile except it has a ramjet)

It’s the realm of complete mystery.

I’ll guess it burns over 1hour XD

that’s SAD!

only early Rafale M F.1 got the use of Magic-2

Good but not perfect to be fair… they better model its heavily reduced RCS and IR signatures when aesas come in, especially the ones on gimbal with ability to look over 100° to the side.

Rafale can use it, no matter which standard. They just stopped using it when MICA IR was available in high numbers.

Anyway,… it’s sad that Gaijin is limiting French TT with aircrafts that can get far more efficient missiles, when other standards were as good for current use in game (SEM, Mirage 2000-5F, now Rafale)

EF-2000 had several variants aswell, be it missiles or radar… the Captor-M have been replaced with Captor-E as Rafale get through PESA to AESA.

Su-33 also got upgraded,…

And what will happen BR wise when those Aircrafts would finally Recieve their true Loadout?
A Gap will be created with the need for earlier standards to enter the game and limiting some players to grind some nations,…

That’s sad to see that Hype Wave is more important than thinking true about the game development.

Do we know ammount of CMs and if it can carry bols?
I managed to get some pictures on nato days of rafales top dispensers on left side next to horizontal stab but couldnt see any other.

And here are some other pics of that beauty

No BOLs. CMs depend on which config;

  • 4x8 60mm
  • 4x16 40mm

as well as 2x SPIRALE chaff dispenders.

I can’t wait to use the Rafale and AASM to destroy more Pantsir-S1

Guys, I know this UI is from Scorpion HMCS, but is this F4 by any chance?

F.4 would be way too strong at the moment and (as off now) unlikely with whats shown in the Teaser. Its indeed Scorpion JHMCS, however I wouldn’t really worry about it since smth like that can be retrofited either way.

Ares,

I need to say thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this thread. I am extremely excited that RAF is coming so soon along with all the other aircraft we have gotten lately… absolutely insane.

Thank you so much again!

this is hands down best part of the trailer, it looks so good its almost as real

I’ve done it cuz no one else did it. It took a lot of time and research (although I still can’t 100% prove everything conclusively, as some sources mix up with other). The French Research Discord (@DirectSupport ) has all the relevant sources, and since I’m honestly fed up and run a server myself, I won’t be taking part in bug reports; I stopped doing that a long time ago anyway - As far as I can see from the Teaser though, there probly wont be much to fix to; besides FM, Avionics and maaaybe the specific name and (less relevant) armament options.

It would be best to just call it “Rafale C F.3 (Late)” if its not the F.3R, which I doubt it would be…
