first rafales are currently less capable then the m2k 5f we have in game, as they can carry only 6 missiles it would be just a radar and flight model upgrade over the m2k 5 :D
but i agree, rafale should come with typhoon in the same update, and currently we dont even have f18’s in game
I think some of the early variants are equalish to the j-10a and wouldn’t be that meta defining. Although I’m not sure if we will see them as they may be skipped
as already said, f1 would be no more then a fm and radar upgrade, with the downgrade of no A2G and only 6 instead of 8 missiles (4 micas only, the wing tip pylons were used only for IR missiles)
