that i have no idea, around 10-15 seconds would be my guess, but i don’t have any source to back this one up
Well, at least it’s less than PGM, that’s already good.
They also loft very hard like the kh38. They should then descent vertically and probably unpowered. That means that they’ll be harder to detect than PGM that are flying straight.
Also, I believe they should be able to go supersonic but that’s to be figured out
I understand that, so I’m really looking forward to them.
i seem to remember that AASM has to do a maneuver when dropping vertically to avoid going supersonic, since the airframe of the bomb might lose control, but i can’t for my life remember where i read that
Continuing the discussion from Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet:
@MythicPi This is first gen DDM, which is also in-game on Mirage 2000D-RMV. However, the Rafale C in the Teaser has DDM-NG (which also means its at least a F.3-4+ standard)". Its has a pretty good coverage thanks to spherical field of view.

I wasnt trying to say its FOV was bad, but it PHYSICALLY cant see through the aircraft, as such the body and wings entirely block threats, which could limit warning time or in the worst case, render it completely blind to certain launches.
I hope gaijin adds in air burst, that might be pretty useful
Am I completely wrong in understanding that the SPECTRA system additionally functions as a 360 degree IRST? As from what it sounds like its capable of launching the IR Mica.
My guess is that Spectra can react to active threats, such has threats identified by the RWR or MAW by LOALing missiles at the threat direction, after which the MICA would pit bull on anything it sees. I highly doubt it can act as a 360 IRST bubble with any form of practical range against planes.
That’s f35’s territory in that aspect.

SPECTRA is a fully defensive system that cannot really be used for ennemy detection BUT one part ,the optronique secteur frontal (OSF) ( basicly the IRST in the front ) , can be used for both defensive and offensive manoeuvre . otherwise SPECTRA is 100 % defensive.
also you maybe misunderstood that the MICA IR can be a part of the SPECTRA because it can be use as a passive infrared seeker (MAGIC 2 can also do that btw)

what would be interesting to see tho is to see if gaijin will add the “discretion” of the Rafale and if they will add his capability to JAM ( even tho it would not be very powerfull since it’s not the version with AESA radar)
Pretty bummed theres still no good/interesting way to grind for the Rafale now that its coming. I was bummed about the M2K coming with no interesting premium to use for it, but multiple M2K’s in and still no 4th gen premium for france -_-
Ive been trying to not get the stupid F1C-200 but I might have to at this point.
At least its in a lot better spot than it was, with the FM and Magic changes it makes for decent grinding, just kind of passive/opportunistic gameplay. 70% Win rate but just feels weird to play.

I just dont really like the plane, plus 2 magics II’s is terrible for endurance in sim air (which is what i primarily play) tho vastly overpowered at its BR, and payload to kill 1 base only doesnt really help its value proposition in my eyes…
Oh yea no I’ve tried it in sim, its miserable. At this rate a f2 rafale will probably end up being the next premium, insane thought.

@WreckingAres283 any idea how a GPS+INS+DL+IIR/SALH missile like the AASM’s would work in-game btw?
I understand the fundementals of GPS+INS+IIR/SALH guidance just fine, but DL implies the AASM could have their target modified, but we dont have complex enough air to ground control options to deal with a potential of 6 independent munitions in flight at once all with datalink? Like, itd be nice if DL could allow you to modify your GPS point for an AASM already in flight so as to not always have to guide it to a point where either your laser or the IIR seeker offers terminal homing, but how would it differentiate between a missile whos GPS target you want to adjust and one whose GPS target you want to remain the same for example? Itd be real awkward if you tried to adjust 1 AASM and ended up hitting the same target with 6 of them…
Or does the AASM not have DL? I dont see it mentioned here?
You could slap a talisman on the 5F, boring and top tier sure but its still one of the best planes
