And the german version also has more sensors, RWR, different back doors and 5 rotor blades

Cyprus also has the same and they are in talks to buy put the spikes er2 in them

IIRC, “current versions” means Rafale F4.2 which is used as of currently while we have F3R in-game.

So we could get Rafale C/M F4.1 for Meteor + MICA NG and other munition variant(s) for France (and Japan!), same situation as JAS39E in Sweden that could be getting a post-6002 variant for Meteor et. al…

An extra ~430K RP won’t hurt 😢 Must be nice being GB/ITA/GER not needing to grind a whole new Eurofighter for likely to be incoming munitions…

@Macron-Spokesman

October

3-4 weeks? Surely you mean November 😅

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if Su-15 + Su-35/F-15EX dropped same time.

Maybe there are other surprises too in that update before the Winter 👀

@Got_a_choppa

Guessing we will see major then in the next couple days hopefully

Pray for a planned technical maintenance news blog on Monday/Tuesday

Speaking of Drakens with CM, do you have any additional info on the Draken prototypes such as the Fpl 35-13 or Fpl 35-11 for example.

France could already get F.4.2.

If I’m not mistaken, sources state MICA NG is for Rafale F4.2

[WreckingAres283]

Correct. Unless it being retrofitted in future.

[Pipimer]

If in the future Meteors come, will the Rafale receive them and move up in br or a separate Rafale will come with the meteors

[Tacocatte]

Do any non stealth jets have their reduced RCS modeled ingame?

I know the super hornet has the same rcs as the su57 irl for example

[topman1213]

The embt is nice but we still ned more Leo’s for Germany like the 2a8 plz

@Pipimer

If the current rafale stay at 14.7, yeah, a separate one could be added for Meteor + MICA NGs at ~15.0

Spoiler

Wait to see how regular MICA performs post-buff first… might have to adjust even the current Rafale to 15.0 and 15.3 for the NG

MICA NGs

The F3 cant carry this

The Fpl’s are the J-35 prototypes and testbeds. Fpl-35-11 & Fpl-35-13 tested several things including Countermeasures (ECM for the Fpl-35-11 and multiple CM types for the Fpl-35-13). There more specifically J-35D testbeds. Fpl-35-12 is similar but on a J-35F instead

Fpl 35 – Provflygplanen

[Pipimer]

then its a F4 i am talking if there isn’t another solution like the Gripen E or the Greek Rafale

[Macron-Spokesman]

F3R standard is compatible with the Meteor if that’s what you’re asking.

@Tacocatte

No, but they should.

Gen 4.5+ capabilities should be modeled before the addition of 5th gen

Should Gen 4.5+ capabilities such as sensor fusion, firing through IRST and ESM, and low-observability be modeled? poll According to certain translators, BVVD was asked on the recent live-stream, “With 5th gen, you said it would be in second half of 2026?” and BVVD replied “Well the second half of 2026 didn’t end yet”. While some of the playerbase and Gaijin seem to be eager to add 5th gen jets this year, there is a very big and strong concern surrounding the addition of 5th gen jets with a f…

IIRC it was the Super Hornet Block 3 that got reduced RCS.

[Pipimer]

I know that i am wondering when the Meteor is added if another Greek Rafale will come with the meteors or just rise the br of the Rafale. (because Greece only uses the F3)

[Nowel]

Is there something going on with the matchmaking, this is ridiculous?

[Macron-Spokesman]

What am I supposed to notice?

[Macron-Spokesman]

What other Greek Rafale could they add?
