In the [[Strangereal]] universe, the Rafale M was conceived by an unspecified nation as an "omnirole" carrier-based aircraft capable of dealing with both air combat and surface strike situations. Its triple-surface and delta wing configuration, reminiscent of the [[Typhoon]], endowed it with high maneuverability and weapons payload, as well as a highly identifiable body profile.

The Rafale M is a French navalized multirole aircraft. It replaced the R-C01 from Air Combat in Ace Combat 2 and has been prominently featured in the series since. The only substantial modifications from the R-C01 are the reinforcement of the landing gear, arresting hook, catapult connecting bar, and compatibility with aircraft carrier instrument landing systems.

Strangereal

In the Strangereal universe, the Rafale M was conceived by an unspecified nation as an "omnirole" carrier-based aircraft capable of dealing with both air combat and surface strike situations. Its triple-surface and delta wing configuration, reminiscent of the Typhoon, endowed it with high maneuverability and weapons payload, as well as a highly identifiable body profile.

During the Belkan War, the aircraft was used by both the Allied Forces and the Belkan Air Force. They were also used by the terrorist organization A World With No Boundaries. One famous operator was Marcela Vasquez, who defected from the Sapin Air Force and joined the terrorists.[1]

The Rafale M saw action in the Usean coup d'état, where it was used by both the Usean Allied Forces and the Usean Rebel Forces.[2]

During the Continental War, the aircraft was used by the ISAF Navy and the Federal Erusea Air Force.[3] The craft was also used by numbers 7 and 8 of the Mobius Squadron.[4][5]

During the Circum-Pacific War the Rafale M was operated in a fairly limited capacity by the Yuktobanian Air Force.

During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, the Rafale M was utilized by the Estovakian Navy and Air Force. One notable pilot was Estovakian ace, Irena Dvornik, who became revered as "The Goddess of Victory", was shot down by Talisman while defending the frontline during the siege on Silvat.[6][7] A number of Rafale Ms were also deployed by the South Sea Fleet during Operation Free Gracemeria.[8] The Republic of Emmeria Navy also had access to the aircraft during the war.[9]

During the Lighthouse War the Rafale M was operated by both the Erusean Navy and the Erusean Air Force. Chris Azure was the most notable Erusean Rafale pilot. He was shot down by Trigger near Snider's Top during Operation Siren's Song.[10] They were also utlized by the SACS air group of the super-submarine Alicorn. During Operation Sighthound, a squadron of four aircraft took off from the now-rogue vessel in order to carry a cruise missile to an unknown target and serve as a distraction while the submarine began her escape from Artiglio Port. Trigger shot them down before they could escape the area and deliver their payload.[11] SACS fielded the Rafale M again during Operation Fisherman in an interceptor role, initially attempting to destroy Specter Squadron's P-1 patrol aircraft alongside the Alicorn's fleet of SLUAVs, before serving as distraction during the LRSSG's efforts to destroy the submarine.[12]

Trivia

  • The Rafale M is used as one of the cover aircraft of Ace Combat: Joint Assault and on the PAL cover of the other Ace Combat games in the French version except Distant Thunder and Assault Horizon.
  • In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the Rafale M now uses the MICA IR as the standard missile model, replacing the R550 Magic II used by the aircraft's incarnation in previous titles. This change is also applied to the Mirage 2000-5.
