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)

Already denied….
AASM 250 (SBU54) GPS guidance not working : Community Bug Reporting System
The regular GPS one does work. IR GPS as well AFAIK
Last report left is the loft. top speed and drop speed on hold for now until further sources are found. It will be reported internally normally so don’t worry if I don’t report it myself

Drop speed limit is a bit tedious on account of the lack of controlled means to slow down rapidly. Devs denied the functionality on account of it supposedly being impossible tho.
I personally think that the AASM might be droppable from above Mach 1. However I can’t find sources that confirm or deny this. The missile top speed itself is also supposedly Mach 1.5 in guidance, and reduces to Mach1 in terminal dive. I have no sources for this however that could be used for reporting as of now. Sadly the one video of a AASM trajectory is zoomed in so I can’t extrapolate its speed.
Wouldn’t even be an issue if they’d just let us use the control surfaces to kill speed without having to throw it into a corkscrew. But according to devs, physics say no. Which is very silly, given the thing actively functions that way.
So yeah, anyone hoping for an airbrake equivalent, they’ve said no because they don’t understand how these things work so it has to be impossible.

Yeah… And I think it’s a lost cause from the start because we don’t really have much information about the Rafale (which is a good thing). But please, Gaijin, be realistic. Can you tell us why you reduced the engine power of the Rafale?

Static test always give better thrust than in flight thrust in the same conditions. Usually, if only static thrust is known, they apply a 5% reduction. In the case of the rafale, we have a less than 4% loss so it’s pretty good. I expect that they have some in flight thrust values

Hello,
I’m new to this, i never posted on forums but i wanted to know if this vidéo of the Rafale with actually 3 missiles under each wings, and the pilot confirming up to 8 missiles, could help.
I hope i’m not wasting anybody’s time, but i thought it could be interesting:

Given they’re not implementing the airbrake functionality of the control surfaces, I’m going to try track down drop speed. This is infuriating.
