Surely micas are good at long range then!

if only its arh has 100% power it would be fine until mica ir can be added

hmm surely!!

This is so wrong it’s hilarious

well they play their own game, they surely know what they are talking about…

Okay yeah. Devs are inept, their research is shit, and their write ups are abysmal.

We’ve got plenty of methods to implement the “airbrake” but they’re just apparently too incompetent to manage it. Smite me if you want, mods, but this really is taking the piss.

there was a bug report for it referencing this position of the elevons but got hit with the “not a bug”


what else could this position be for???/

tbh I have never seen or heard of what is shown in the image as an airbreak for raf but thats just me though

Yep. But apparently it doesn’t work, because physics don’t work and it would send it into the ground. Ignore the 2 canards at the front, they have 0 relevance to this.

Not a typhoon thread. Go to the typhoon thread.

and the two outer elevons still in control, plus aircraft like the F-35 do the same thing except with their rudders as airbrakes :sob:

You guys are doomposting way too much lmao.

Look, I’d understand you want a better MICA, and personally I’d like a full 8 AAM loadout, regardless of accurate it is, because it’s much better for the game balance.

However, if all the Rafale gets is 6 of the current MICA, its current devserv FM and a working AESA (or even PESA), it’s gonna be absolutely monstrous in Air RB. Yes it’s a one-trick that mostly has to fly defensive, but it’s already quite easy with the current 2000-5F to get 6/6 MICA to hit if you know what you’re doing and the team didn’t kill everything before you get in range. It’s fine.

To me what will make or break this plane is the AESA and particularly the maximum gimbal. If it gets 70-80° angle for the HMD it’s gonna absolutely rip things to shreds.

Frankly, they need to fix this. Dunno how we’re going to report it, given they seem averse to understanding physics. But something needs to be done.

everyone outside of this thread ive tried explaining its airbrakes to just cant wrap their head around it? i think its a pretty easy thing to understand and implement

So I asked my partner if it made sense, partner’s an engineer but minimal familiarity with aviation stuff, and he got it pretty quickly. I really think it is just people’s insistence on refusing to acknowledge the canards. Pretty frustrating, as it really should not be hard to grasp.

i mean clearly the jet from 2013 with stealth characteristics isnt advanced enough to have an airbrake

Especially since it’s problematic with this tearing speed limit that has been applied… Can we counter this?

According to Gaijin its some kinda alien tech, therefore its not possible.
