Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

2019 lol

2019!?!?!?!??!??!!?!?!??!?!

There are so many ways to do it. They just refuse to, or lack the ability to grasp how to.

It is very complicated to define a precise year for the implementation of a new standard, the planes being updated over time. The Navy would have received its first 3R around 2012 but the Air Force later

Are we really gonna get a Rafale limited to 1480 kph lmao ?

The max speed is in air speed so 750knots IAS

yes

Speed of sound changes with altitude. Below you’ll find a table with different altitudes (in flight level, for exemple FL 050 is 5000ft) and the standard speed of sound in m/s


As you see the speed of sound get’s significantly slower meaning that you can reach a higher mach number for the same air speed

wouldnt be the first time and wont be the last

if we just got the Rafale A we wouldnt have to fight for an airbrake shake my smh

Apparently that Rafale advanced, but this Rafale less advanced break wise than a corsair

there totally wasnt a reason to get rid of the airbrake off of the rear of the aircraft

its probably like integrating them into the elevons was more convenient, but i mean clearly no airbrake

It’s simple: the wings’ exterior flaps go up while the interior flaps go down.And The part in front of the wing goes down

Also, the canards move slightly upward.

Therefore, the Rafale has the ability to reduce speed efficiently in various flight conditions.

If anyone can chuck a bug report in on it, and we ping a tech mod, we might be able to get it unfucked. I would put a report in but still can’t get into the bug report account thing.

there was a report but it got hit with “you need an oem manual or blah blah blah blah”

Yeah, I mean if we put together a more in depth report with a better explanation (other one was kinda not great) and more examples. Pinging a tech mod to try get it through would also aid it. If I don’t try and find a solution, I’m going to be incredibly grumpy and that will likely get my account put on hold again for the Nth time.

So let me get this straight:

Top speed is lower than EFT

Acceleration is slower than EFT

Carries less missiles than EFT

Canards and flaps doesnt work as an Airbrake so we have to slow down by manuvering

Flares are still limited and Magic-2’s still missing.

I guess
