@@user45g-4c5rf My dude the Rafale F3-R has been proven time and time again to have capacity for 8 missiles. The SP3 pylon upgrade brought it up to 10 with the Rafale F4. The reason Gaijin thinks it still (the F4) can only hold 6 would be because it's only ever seen carrying that much. That's because France standardized on multirole loadouts on the Rafale to be less straining on their missile supply.

I waited years for the Rafale in game and I been loving flying it and seeing it in game, I'm not 100 percent sure if they added the stealth for that thing in game cause it has it and that was one of the points that they was going for with the design when it was being built to have somewhat stealth like ,I gotta year it for myself against radars but even if they don't have it in game yet I hope they add it in the future when we get more stealth vehicles and all, speaking of Rafale,u mind making a video going over the models of Rafale that might be added in the game and then changes and all, I know some of them like the navel versions and some other ones but I wanna see what models u think they will add of the Rafale cause they never add all the versions only the major changes to them like what they did to F16 and all

[@GodOfChaos_HeXa]

It has a reduced frontal Radar cross section, gaijin won't implement stealth properly because of balance issues, The eurocanards boath have a Reduced frontal RCS and are already op without it. If implemented realisticly it would stop any current aircraft radar from locking it head on and hard to lock in certain angle coming from the front. That's why gaijin doesn't implement it, the F117 also has no proper stealth because of that very reason.
