thats all it takes for in game implementation i believe.
is this not the same as the spear 3?
Its a grey area. But im doubting it.
Spear-3 are MMW+SAL+GNSS with a turbojet
Spear-Glides are EO/IR + SAL + GNSS with no motor at all.
Meant to be a cheap spammable weapon
There is also Spear-EW which is a Spear-3 but instead of an MMW/Warhead it has an EW suite meant to act like a decoy (thought it was an ARM, but my mistake on that)
oh okay, however in the edit i just put spear to represent all of spear. I also included quad rack but not fully sure if im right on the placement.
I have no idea what mount they will use. I think its quad on the F-35 but probably the same triple mount as the Brimstones. But dont quote me on that
i was using this render as a reference
Indian Rafale for Britain, Swiss test Rafales for Germany, Greek Rafales for isreal, and Indonesian rafales for Japan, potentially Taiwanese Rafale for China if the purchase goes through.
Gaijin cant balance air, so might as well just give everyone Rafales now xD

HUD tint. Maybe. Take it or leave it
Missing something lol
When gaijin runs out i wouldn’t be suprised if we see bottom of the barrel stuff like this
The only people breathing easy are the french mains that are confirmed to get to continue ruining air battles and padding their stats in their OP jet for atleast another 4 months

Do we think later EFT will even be on par with later Rafale models?
No, this was already discussed. EFT with ECRS will be a bit closer, but the missile and FM situation is still MASSIVELY in the Rafales favor, and until gaijin stops screwing around, that isn’t gonna change.
As it currently stands, the only jets that might compete with the Rafale as modelled in-game are MAYBE the Su-35, and the F-22 and Su-57 specifically, all the other 4/4.5/5th gen jets are most likely DOA.
- Su-35 cuz missile load and gimballed radar so it can fire from the notch
- F-22 cuz flight performance
- Su-57 cuz flight performance and missiles
Everything else is screwed atm
Dang, well appreciate the answer
There is no reason why the currently in-game Typhoon couldnt be on par.
ASRAAM / IRIS-T to give HOBS would eliminate the Rafale monopoly at close range
Buff/Fix the Aim-120B/C5, actually make them a threat at longer ranges
Properly modeled CAPTOR-M or CEASER would be more than enough to bring us on par with radar.
Fix the BOL would help immensenly with our defensive position
Fix/Finish the FM would help quite a lot in the dogfight.
Other misc fixes like sorting out the correct ammo in the 27mm, etc etc.
In A2G some Brimstones 2s would be rather nice.
Then as the Rafale gets buffed, as can the Typhoon, with further upgrades like full CAPTOR-E, AMK, etc etc.

is Eurofighter HMD able to have a full IR display over its HMD (like F-35) or its just limited to Pirate’s FOV?
i remember asking a similar question before and was presented with a image, it had the pirates view + full IR view differently so got a bit confused
As soon as ASRAAM is added we are gonna see other missiles like MICA IR, i cant see adding new missiles closing the gap especially if we see Meteor
Would be limited to at least PIRATE’s FOV, but not sure if its also able to use the TPod feed.

I wonder when gaijin will model that, would be fun in sim
I am aware than MICA IR would also be added.
But Magic II + MICA EM vs Aim-9M in WVR is hopeless.
But MICA IR + MICA EM vs IRIS-T And/or ASRAAM would actually be at least somewhat fair
It would be fun, but no idea. Could be ages. Still waiting for relatively basic things to be modeled
