Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

god thats bad… well as long as spirale chaffs are normal and not nerfed BOL ones, i guess it might be fine

that’s plenty of countermeasures

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…

Are the pylons under the Rafale’s wings really only capable of carrying fuel tanks, or can they be used for other weapons as well?

MICA-IR are too strong for the current game. How many time do I need to repeat this ?
We do not need something that is straight up impossible to defeat with the current planes ingame. How hard it is to understand ? Gaijin will keep the current missiles we have ingame as long as possible. Aim120A already easily score 3 kills a game minimum if you know what you are doing. MICA-EM are 100% hitrate if you have the right angle and range, but can be defeated by anyone who knows what to expect. We don’t need stronger than this.

i’ll do bug report as well, one of my biggest hope is that if they add GBU22 it will be added to the 2000D RMV

I’m on it as well in some manners. We do have pretty much everything for the AASM for now for exemple. Aside from top speed tho, if anyone has sources on that that’d be appreciated

Top speed of AASM or Rafale?

AASM of course. Apparently there’s info for Mach 1.5, but no one can find it anymore :/

I will try to find out about it.

Am I right in saying Indian F3Rs got the 2 extra MICA hardpoints open? Which could then be suggested for an 8 missiles loadout on this one?

While India ordered the two extra pylons, these woud be used exclusively for Towed Decoys.

X-Guard tested on C101 testbed;

guys where will rafale be ? left 1 left 2 or middle? i need to know pls tell me

what about you wait for Devstreams? as they will be shown in there, with quite accuracy, even if Devs are not final

and Rafale C should be after Mirage 2000-5F
Rafale B after the Mirage 4000
Rafale M after F-8E(FN)
