Kinda bold to state that when you support a claim that has a mockup for source which is invalid as mockups are made by industrials (here MBDA) which reflects in no way the intentions of the makers of the plane aka Dassault, neither do they reflect the intention of deciders of the future of the plane in France aka DGA.
Also as a proof of my claim, you can roam the internet looking for a payload where Rafale has anything else besides nothing or fuel tanks on the said fuel tank pylon and except in 3D renders, simulations or anything that is not real life you will never find any picture of a Rafale with weaponry on those pylons.

Hi all (sorry for not participating in the last few hours but I had to sleep)
To recap the bug reports that have been accepted or that have been reported to the devs
- Gun rate of fire too low
- Wrong engine sound
- Wrong HUD
- CM quantity
- Lack of Gbu-49
- RBE2 AA radar
- AASM issues
and a few visual issues (floating fuel tank, clipping missiles …)
Regarding bugs/errors that have not yet been reported or fixed, issues related to FSO-IRST will require more sources (unfortunately no declassified sources seem to be available)

Now to fix, we need more infos on the RWR. Spectra apparently can jam from E to K. But we can’t find info on detection band. I’m on the side that if we can jam K band then we should be able to detect it

As jamming is directionnal detecting the band is legit vital as you can’t jam what you cannot detect. Btw does that come from a primary source?
WrekingAres told us last night that he gave info directly to the devs for the RWR so we will see

It’s a research paper from “Centre d’études stratégiques aérospatiales”. Idk if it is primary tho…

Honestly what worries me the most about Rafale is the sustained turnrate. Some test have been made and Rafale while having it seems the correct peak instantaeous turnrate of almost 37°/sec has a peak sustained turnrate of 20.2°/sec and this worries me a bit.

Yes, the flight model is rather surprising at the moment
However, to my knowledge, we do not have official documents to request a modification ourselves. Unfortunately, it will be up to the dev to decide
If it makes you feel any better about the Rafales FM, the EFT just got kneecapped in its supercruise ability. Devs called the EFT manufacturers liars and wont allow it to go any faster than M1.3 on mil power.

It doesn’t make me much happier, they could apply the same reasoning for the Rafale.

I’ve also noticed some missing bomb options, I will report these later today.

Hopefully for y’all, they dont. I dont even know how the rafale could supercruise if the EFT cant supercruise at its stated speed, considering the Rafales stated supercruise speeds are already lower than that of the EFT.

What type of issues are there with the AASM? Just wondering.
From what I’ve heard so far, one of them is the agility of the AASM of which it doesnt pull hard enough
Which bombs are missing?
US Mk. dumb bombs, additional GBU-16 and maybe smth else.

Guidance is too weak (turns are not tight enough) and proxy fuze against air targets is missing, @vizender as done a great bug report for those

I see, do we know if the mach 1 launch limit is realistic (Not that im complaining since its range is abosolutely absurd already)?
I don’t have any info for the drop speed.
Another thing that wouldn’t be correct is the LOAL capability of the AASM IR (however they won’t implement it that way because it would be too OP)
