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
gun is completely incorrect as well

I also think the HUD is the same as the Mirage for now
So currently the Rafale is missing its airbrakes but has flaps
Also, i don’t think the SBU-64 (IR) should be used like an IR Maverick but instead behave like a GNSS bomb unless Gaijin implement GNSS jamming and inertial drift on predertermined target
- The Safran documentation never state it can target moving target contrari to the SBU-54 (Laser), it even precise it use its seeker to match with the provided data and use for precision strikes
- Example of a SBU-64 working with the matching algorithms on vertical final
- ATE CHUET ex Rafale pilot explain how the SBU-64 work

“ensuite vous avez l’infrarouge grâce et bien à des images que vous obtenez en préparation de mission grâce à la reconnaissance ou grâce au satellite et en arrivant au-dessus de la cible votre A2SM regarde ce qui se passe et va reconnaître où se situe la cible par exemple ce pont “il” va savoir taper au bon endroit avec une précision de l’ordre du mètre c’est bluffant”

“then you have infrared through images that you get in preparation for a mission through reconnaissance or through the satellite , when you arrive above the target your AASM looks at what’s happening and will recognize where the target is, for example this bridge, he will know how to impact in the right place with a precision of the order of the metre it is amazing”
It doesn’t have “actual” airbrakes. It uses its Slats/Flaps and Canards to slow down.

They would never implement the IR version as it is IRL, the LOAL capability would make it way too powerful
Yeah they’ll need to add some form of air braking I think. The plane does NOT want to lose speed unless you manoeuvre
Rafale seems to rip itself apart reaching mach 1.4 at low altitude. Dunno whether this it teh case or not but a fellow early said it should be 1.4 supercruise at low altitude. It gets to 1.3
In the screenshot below I did not bring the Damocles pod. Only the IR AASM (which I already fired). I still have access to a targeting pod. I don’t know if it’s supposed to represent the OSF or if it’s a bug. I can target lock but the seeker of the IR AASM does not slave to this targeting point (It does slave to the Damocles tho). IRST is also present but can’t lock anything yet.
AASM IR are missing a TV camera to be aimed and locked before firing (like the PGMs)
IRST can lock but you have to be close enough to the target
the rafale is in terrible state now, almost everything is placeholder, i wouldnt be surprised if FM was too as it seemed super sluggish on dev stream

I tried locking the mig15 in test flight and it did not work at 5km hence my assumption. It seems way underperforming but I guess its copy paste of mig23/mig29 for now

How ? SBU-64 doens’t have LOAL look what i showed its not a Brimstone, it lock on terrain feature to correct its position and increase its accuracy even under gnss jamming, current gnss bomb already have a perfect precision
The current implementation is actually the overpowered one compare to the real bomb
The main idea of the AASM IR is to be able to fire it without exact visuals of the target and when the ammunition passes the obstacle (cloud cover, mountain), the IR tracker locates the target closest to the GPS point entered and directs the missile on it.
