Magic 2
4 Likes
Point 3 refers to the name of the new Pylons used on F.4 onwards; Sail Point 3 (SP3).
Magic II should technically be possible for wing tip pylons and were also carried by Rafale in its early service dates.
Been defeating 9Ms on dev with 2 pops. It’s not the most countermeasures, but it honestly isn’t too bad. Was having a time of it until I bound different buttons to flare and chaff, but pretty okay now.
Gotcha thsnks!
Rsfale is first on my list after Im done spading eurofighter
Do you have data in game ?? Because I have a doumennt (not classified) claming 32°/sec instantaneous, and 24° sustained.

Do you have any documentation on the not-airbrake? It’s really quite a pain in the ass trying to drop from mach to launch AASM without one, but they rejected a report already. Currently trying to scour for launch parameters of AASM, but not having any luck so asking if we can try fix that aspect.
Only Rafale A had “physical” airbrakes. Production Rafale uses a combination of Canards and Flaps/Slats to slow down. It has already been reported, though I am currently not aware of the reports status.
“Not-airbrake” is shorthand for “canard flap shennanigans”, sorry if it was unclear. They’ve rejected the only report I can find under the premise that it is not physically possible for it to function that way.
What about these photos tho?
Or this

The images taken on the ground are generally taken on demonstrators, it is not generally the aircraft which is at the announced standard
Moreover, the bottom image is not theoretically possible at the moment, the French Air Force limiting the carriage to 4 Meteors and 2 Mica maximum.
For budget reasons, no?
If I remember correctly this Rafale M was possible configuration offered to India (who’ve ordered Rafale M F.4s by now). I had access to high resolution pictures of this specific Rafale and can tell for sure that this loadout was a mock-up. Its also worth to point out its not even an F.3R.
The picture from the FOX-3 Magazine shows a render, nothing that can be used.

Currently only report I can find, and it’s been rejected.

There is no reason put forward publicly, the possibilities are as you say financial or it could be physical, the Meteor Ramjet could perhaps damage the Mica located next (speculation)
Except that as the answer mentions the “airbrake mode” is basically a thing that only works when on the ground which is true afaik.
Weird reasoning (for not implementing it in any form). I will talk with a Tech-Mod latee anyway, maybe there is more about this.

From what I’ve read, that is not the case. But I cannot find a primary source. Can find someone talking on it, but nothing more direct.
Yes, but at least they dont reject the report
Cheers. If it’s the case that what I’ve read is wrong on it, and it cannot function in the air, then oh well. But from what I’ve read, seems a pretty skewiff response. But can’t find a primary source even mentioning it, which makes sense, but that makes it hard to work out if folk are right which is a pain. The explanations I’ve seen on it seem pretty consistent with my understanding of the way physics should interact with these things tho.
Well that’s nice because we need you regarding the drag and Supercruise capabilities. Atm even when clean Rafale cannot supercruise at M1.4. Maybe you already reported it? You might actually hold some of the best sources for anything FM related ngl. Please help.
