Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Do you have the evidence to tell me that each point corresponds to an armament? Because personally I don’t see any

You really think they were testing F4.1 before F3R or even F3.4 entered service? Similar photos date to 2009. Hell, the actual contract for it is dated after the flights happened

No, because Gaijin uses this thing called “statistics” and you can have an incredibly good kit but if the players don’t perform well in it, it’ll probably get buffed.

They testing CONCEPTS, not a full standard.

Dassault’s own website, the 14 hardpoints for armament claim makes a lot more sense due to that

They refused that because apperantly “they perform too similar to make a difference”. That’s what the bug report I saw said

Same thing.

They’re showing what the plane can do if its needed to, the goal is to show ‘this is what our plane does, you should buy it!’

Rafale C101, is a testbed,… a testbed is made so you can TEST THINGS, called CONCEPTS.

Then those Concepts, are assembled to Standards.

Which are then Industrialized, assembling planes that are sold.

The one I showed isn’t C01, it has the entire visible SPECTRA suite

I just did a really quick ARB gorilla pull sustain test on the Rafale and M2K, and it looks like they have basically the same STR in these conditions, if not slightly worse for the Rafale. This doesn’t feel right lol.

SPECTRA SUITE is a thing since F.1,… so i don’t see what you’re point is,… also Spectra still is a thing today on F.4.1

C01 had avionics removed, the presentations, which not only are too numerous to be testbeds, but also have them visible, are often seen carrying them

The last time I checked Mirage 2000-5F standard was no A2G and only 6 missile pylons

Has the FM been changed at all?
I still don’t think it is final.
I know for a fact the Eurofighter FM was changed.

Context ?

And i agree with that, Gaijin had just hatism on french, and made it a mix between Mirage 2000-5F Mirage 2000-5 mk2 of greece, and 2000-9 of UAE

Bro, you’re not reading,… inform yourself about “DGA Essai en Vol” and what they use.

Airshow Rafales are most of the time from French airforces, and are Serial Rafales, not prototypes.

i have a statement, 2 stock Michels on the Ralph is not the greatest experience

And now because of that Rafale F.3R feels more like a sidegrade than an upgrade to Mirage 2000-5F which pisses me off
