No we don’t because getting more MICA will just give reason for devs to not buff them to their real performances which is completely a dumb move to make. It’s better to focus on getting MICA to more realistic levels of performance than bringing more in battle. Moreover this mockup has not even been offiocially approved by either Dassault or the DGA and conccerns the Rafale F5 afaik.

In-game its 10300Kg, devs stated it should be more along 9700-9800kg. Thats at best a 600Kg reduction in weight, which is 5.8% reduction in weight, 4.9% if they go with 9800Kg. Its unlikely to make any significant difference. The FM changes they’re going to make are going to have a more substantial impact than the reduction in weight. It’ll accelerate a tiny bit faster, retain speed a tiny bit better, and pull a tiny bit harder if all they changed was the weight.
I want them to rework Denmark for top tier sim, then add AShM’s to deal with the new targets.

why not both ?
French tax. That’s why. (kind of a joke)
You’ll see the same issue with r77. Flankers have a lot of them. So they’re not fixed. According to Gaijin, quantity has a quality all of its own.
That is before we note that armament is to my knowledge mostly incompatible with what we got.

Lol because you think they will buff them if we have less of them
Shit won’t get fixed anywhere soon and we still gonna only get 6 but a shitty FM

UH maybe because a 10 missiles MICA has never been approved as an official layout for Rafale and atm it’s not even theorically possible as fuel tanks pylons seem to have not wiring ccapability, so to say, only fuel tanks can go there except for the centerline pylon that is open for ASMP-A, GBU24, RECO-NG pod, EXOCET and that’s it. Nothing else.

It is more likely yes. You are just yapping at this point.
We pay taxes, release the rafale
and where do you get this information from?
Rafale doesnt seem as doom and gloom kind of awful like y’all have been pretending it is. Seems to beat the EFT in the 1c and lose in the 2c as expected, granted this is with both aircrafts with some obvious bugs and performance issues atm.

Legit French pilots at airshows LMAO or from any official organism interview where they are willing to tell aa few things. Also the fact there is absolutely no picture of the Rafale equiping anything else than fuel tanks on the said fuel tank pylon. And if you have no IRL picture (And not a 3D render) that proves other things can be installed there(Also airshows mockups don’t count as they are proposed by industrials like MBDA not the actual army or Dassault) then there is no proof at all that anything else can be installed there.
Links pls?

Aeroturtle isn’t an authoritative content creator on this matter.
I trust Willie Walrus and to a lesser extent, DEFYN.

Defyn’s had some pretty dodgy takes. I trust only Tim. At least Tim has the courtesy to make clear where he lacks particular familiarity.

Re-read as i added detail and instead of me proving reality to you i would like you to show me the sources that allow you to make your claims that totally differ from what is said in the first page of this thread that is a carefully made presentation of the plane throughout time that has been made by someone that spent years on accumulating knowledge about Rafale.
I literally agreed that the Rafale is underperforming, but you guys are acting like its basicly the worst thing ever atm and that once they “fix” it its going to be some kind of air to air god, unmatched by any existence in this universe. The fact its keeping up with what is the “best” airframe currently in-game points to the fact its nowhere near as “bad” as you guys pretend it is, and you should probably temper your expectations of it.
Im not trying to pass him off as authoritative on the subject, im saying look at the performance and realize its really not that bad (absolute performance-wise, it is inaccurate regardless, as is the EFT, and both will be fixed)
For the real reality of our world i SERIOUSLY advise people that are new or very rarely interacted with this thread to go READ THE FIRST PAGE ABSOLUTELY. It’ll give every necessary informations for people to not make wikipedia(aka fake) claims about Rafale loadouts capabilities.
