Reducing the weight even more… does the current empty weight account for pilot mass + ammo?
ingame?
In game yeah
i didnt know about this recent documentary
Also wouldn’t German eurofighter be lighter anyways due to no irst
Hmm, isnt it currently the way that the Belly mounted AMRAAMs go hot instantly?
Because from IRL:

Gaijin doesn’t model ejector pylons.
Hard to tell, it coukd be the case that there is an replacement weight instead, but we cant prove any of that
Considering pirate is only like 50 kg I don’t think they need a counter weight
Its less the fact of (need) it, but more to be more realistic, as Germany could anytime say they want the PIRATE and mount them, so if you are Training its would make sense for an replacement weight to get as close as possible to the total weight in war times

Rafale is closer to the f-16, and eurofighter closer to the f-15 in terms of overall size
f15 looks way bigger

Fun fact - you can just about see the Gripen in the picture too if you zoom in x100.
(Joking - but in the metal it is surprising how tiny the Saab is.)
Sorry I know this was absolutely ages ago, but this is exaclty why I’d stick with LJDAM-ER for the time being, it allows you to do exactly that, + a working IOG
AFAIK, it’s also made of lighter composites overall. Although the M variant, being identical in size to the C, is also a ton heavier (with modified structure for naval operations), meeting the EFT and Rafale C weight right in the middle
The Eurofighter should have the capability to carry a centerline fuel tank and the LDP in the same configuration.
