Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Wrong, it is said at the end of that article that F4 is carrying more missiles which also got upgraded to MICA NG

We are getting F.3R, not F.4.1 which has the extra Pylons.

The plane or the livery ? XP

i can only see the Rafale being its best in sim due to its very nice cockpit, SCORPION HMD and the planned change to the RBE2-AA

might be for the livery :3c

Point still stands, no Meteor, no MICA-IR, no fix for MICA-EM(37.5% range missing), no fix of MAGIC-2 IRCCM,… even if Gaijin adds Magic-2 to F.3R, the F.3R would simply be a shit show to be laughed at.

Scots hate the English, not the Brits, as scots, Welsh, english and (Technically if you count british as the “british isles”) Irish are all British

Scots Hate Englishand love french

BUT

Scots are British, and thus hate the french

If it came down to England Vs France in a football match, id support france, but if it was Britain as a whole Vs France, I would support Britain

Ah ok, my bad, i had a miss use of Brits=/= english =/= UK

I expect more than 2 unlockable livery for Rafale, there is so many good ones

Call them all pommies. It infuriates them all equally.

I wish we would have gotten an older version that can carry both Magics and MICA-EMs. Because right now (as far as I know) we aren’t getting a IR missile because the F.3R’s IR missiles are currently too advaned to be added. And I think an IR missile is cruical especially with jets using MICA-EMs, because you don’t have long range fox-3s that you can launch at people flying high far away, and you are forced to do close combat.
And in close combat, any player with a brain would fly as low as possible to not get hit by MICA-EMs via ground clutter. That’s where Magics (or any IR missile) becomes cruical.

That’s why I prefer M2K5F over the Rafale right now, even though Rafale is more maneveurable and has a better radar.

Then Qatar EF can come in our tree you won’t have anything to say about it i suppose.

They are looking to adds Magic-2 on wing tips
(As per M F.1 analogy)

I hope that’s true. Though I doubt 4 MICA-EM + 2 Magic 2 will be enough for top tier.

If they fix all bugs remainning on all of those missiles, it can be.

Im not against it. we can get unusual stuff through our Indian and Kuwaiti subtrees

I mean we already seen photos of pre F.4 models with outer wing pylons. Unless its some super specific model with extra capabilities

Kuwait Sub tree, in the mind of Kishin, would have been to add it to France.

Also you have 2(3?) Sub tree already

MICA-EMs haven’t been fixed since they have been added. Doubt they fill fix them now. Even then, I am happy with MICA’s current close combat capabilities, as I also prefer close combat over BVR fights (I suck with AIM-120)

I just simply think 4 AMRAAMS + 2 IR may not be enough for top tier, but we will see. I still think I’m probs gonna prefer the M2K5F

Fully operationnal F.4.1 models have been delivered,… but that’s not the F.3R Standards Gaijin plans to add now

France has Belgium, Luxemburg and Holland as subtrees we are even
