Default RE: Effect of Missile Rails?


ORIGINAL: extra 300

anyone has experience flying the FB Rafale with external tanks. I have flown mine with rails and missiles without issue, but i don't know what to expect with the tanks, furthermore, i find their attaching methode to be weak somehow.
I don't even want to think of the possibility to have one of attaching points give up during flight... It would be a total disaster!!!

Regards.

I have the FB wing tanks mounted on my extreme Rafale and a centerline wet smoke tank, with this configuration i need a nice amount of dowm elevator for level flight. with just the centerline tank no tirm needed.
The plane feels sluggish in turns and you will need more power for landings but it does look nice in the air
