Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

BVV_d confirmed AESA. It was also displayed as “F3-R”, so yea.

Radar name has to be changed to RBE2-AA then (also display name has to be fixed, should be “F.3R” not just “F3”).

  • Rafale F3-R
  • F3-R+ is Standard equipped with AESA
  • Shown ingame as RBE2
  • Thales page calls AESA radar RBE2

The radar is RBE2 but the AESA upgrade is RBE2-AA

Awesome, weird they skipped so many models tho

they say so much bullshit in these streams and in the game files there is not even a mention of it being F3R

{
  "model": "rafale_c_f3",
  "fmFile": "fm/rafale_c_f3.blk",
  "sensors": {
    "sensor": [
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/fr_thales_rbe2.blk",
        "dmPart": "radar_dm"
      },
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/ir_tracker_tgp.blk",
        "node": "optic2_gun"
      },
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/LaserBeamRidingSensor.blk",
        "node": "optic2_gun"
      },
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/LaserDesignatorSensor.blk"
      },
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/fr_spectra_rwr.blk"
      },
      {
        "blk": "gameData/sensors/fr_spectra_lws.blk"
      }
    ]
  },

Perhaps they are undecided

RBE2-AA with the AA being, I believe, “Antenne Active”, for AESA indeed

I am as confused as you are m8. (Hope to get an answer to this question soon to)

one possible explanation :

They wanted to add AASM Laser at all costs, and only F3R can carry it

There is a problem with the AASM hammer and that is that it doesn’t fly the way it does in real life. You can use this file to correct the trajectory.

So I’m not telling you not to do things the way you want; but few on this particular thread are likely mad enough to download and open a zip from an unconfirmedm, untrusted source.

haven’t used the dev server yet, but let me guess : it flies like a PGM ?

Dev serv is still not publically open

so in all the datafiles its called f3 and in resources its called f3r.

I think there was some MAJOR issues and they had to change model last minute

Right but Thales listing it as RBE2 on their own page, Gaijin making it RBE2 might not be a pesa/aesa mistake.

But hopefully they specifically name it asap.

ah my bad then

But in general behaviour it behaves like pgm from teaser yeah need to test if they at least loft

Okay we have to wait for everything since the model is still up in the air but there are definitely things to fix

SPECTRA(RWR) currently is copy paste of SERVAL - any info on that?

The fuel adjustment bar is bugged on the Rafale for the moment, at most we can have -4 minutes
