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

What am I supposed to notice?

What other Greek Rafale could they add?

A full 12.0 team vs 4 13.0, 4 12.7, 5 12.3 and a single 12.0

that is exactly how the match maker always worked

12.0 is the bottom of that match and 13.0 is the top of it

but that dosent mean that both teams get the same ammount of 13.0, 12.7, 12.3 and 12.0 aircraft

there is a limit of 4 players per team with the highest possible BR in that match but it dosent mean that each team gets 4 players with vehicles of that BR

non, except the Rafale DG (double seater)

I guess they could go the BG route, but then to me it wouldn’t be ideal to have the “worse” aircraft get the upgrade.

DG*

i am getting confused with the Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2 BG

Can someone grind the 5th mark for me thanks im too lazy i don’t wanna spend more GE

and get a ban for account sharing? GE is cheaper

unlikely, gaijin dosent really add dual seaters if there are single seater options

they aren’t. the Rafale EG is already in the game, so either
it goes up in the br with the meteors
it dosent get meteors and Israel stays again behind
the DG comes with meteors
the EG gets meteors and the DG comes to stay only with micas.

i forgot the secret 3rd option

Rafale EG (late)

no such thing all the Rafales came with Meteors from the start

lets not fool ourselfs here

gaijin wouldnt care

Rafale EG (Very Late) (so it can carry 1 more)

The source reads like 35-11 was used to test the chaff pod from the Viggen, which makes sense. Blockhaj is inclined to believe so as well. You can see this same pod installed on the S35E. The S35E also had RWR installed, interestingly enough. Developed in tandem with the Viggen. After a lot of whacky back-and-forth with the design for recon missions and having a weird mix of half-pod, half-airframe sensor/radar system, that was then turned into a pod-only system, they ended up installing all the sensor on the airframe itself. Here is a picture of some of the rear-facing sensors. It had six of them total.

35-12 doesn’t have any of it, it’s just features the same D and F testing, none of the Viggen stuff.

35-13 is complicated, because at this very moment, it is up for interpretation. It could have tested the KB pod potentially, if we take the “different countermeasures” at face value. It could fit into both flares and chaff, but also the singular RWR-sensor mounted on it. Now this one is more me just not speaking the language of my drunken neighbour, but it seems to say it is mounted on the underside of the wing, near the wing tip. It’s not full RWR, it’s a single sensor that likely has very limited capability, and certainly blind from a large range due to the airframe.
Not fully related, but images of the F-35’s testing with ALR-69 in December 1982 comes to mind;

However, from what I can see, it is also possible they welded the actual sensor into the airframe itself, so it looks more like what you see on the actual Viggen;

Other than that, it is described as a hunchback really. I would love to see a picture of it at all, because it sounds like a true eyesore.

A responsible company would wait even to drop final 4.5 gens till December 2027.

Barely any 4.5 gen features are here. No ECM, HMDs/MFDs/HUDs are still dropping, nobody engages in 40+ km BvR, next gen IR are nowhere. Semi stealth like ram coating is missing.

A GNSS weapons menu can come that we can zoom for the whole map.

Modern AI carriers can come.

More decompression is needed. They should observe the escalation mode for longer times to observe player decisions based on which missiles, which bombs etc.

Next gen iirs would likely come with 5th to give the 4.5s like rafale and Eurofighter a edge and the iirs we have in grb are currently horribly modeled.
