Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance - Part 2

Now the question is; which F.4?

Between F.3R and F.4.1, there is barely any difference visually. Mostly just the HMCS fiducials on the canopy glass.

The F.4.2 however has a flat antenna in front of the stabilizer.

I see. I’m not really sure about that (Cause I dunno), but if you want,maybe you can help me show the visual differences between the F3/4 variants :>

Figured I’d give you guys an update on things.

A former technical moderator/Gaijin staff is alleged to have had fakes in his reports. This former Gaijin staff member will now have ALL of his reports closed and was prolific in making reports as well as passing reports.
Leclerc S1 incorrect name // Gaijin.net // Issues

Here’s a comment that Gaijin has made on a report of his, a report from before his time as a technical moderator (the title that was given to him).

This doesn’t bode well for Rafale reports as he passed a non-insignificant amount of Rafale reports, and so it leaves questions as to what happens to all of the reports they had passed. If the reports he passed are all on hold until another staff member can re-review them, then that would mean most Rafale reports will not see implementation into the game until they have been reviewed again.

so uhhh

the system is working as it should?
if someone uses fake sources obviously all their reports need to be re evaluated or closed because there is a good chance they have fake sources too.

Would be willing to place money on them counting these reports reviewed, and flagged not to action them, instead of making re-review a priority.

I don’t know man something smells fishy.

These are same guys who claims EFT’s supercruise capabilities are marketing lie alongside with many other things, not to mention instead of removing the bug report that contains false information they went full witch hunt on him.

Not to mention how come these so called ‘‘developers/managers’’ didn’t realized faulty information in the first place? This is too skeptical, we need to see the whole picture first.

That’s… funny

For good reason, apparantly Wareta specialy denied rafale reports targeted to nerf it as well.
Asking other people to form responses he can use to deny them

you should probably not do that

far enough, but I also expect the thread to be cleaned very soon. Wrecking probably will call for a mod to remove “off topics”

These are valid points and I agree with it, for instance I forgot the EFT report that contained fake sources.

Mythic’s can get flammy easily sometimes and I can understand why but like you said blaming entire Rafale community isn’t fair in this case.

As for the informations you delivered to Wareta and other reports he made are completely fine, he did make good reports based on multiple confirmed sources which is why stated that this whole “witch hunt” when it comes to his reports isn’t completely fair.

There’s no dispute on that, just sucks that it happened. The good news is that my reports on the Rafale could probably get reviewed by entirely different Gaijin staff and then re-approved. Some of the community members had concerns some of my reports were being passed where another Gaijin staff wouldn’t, so the reports being reviewed should dispel all doubts. I’m also open to providing all links and the full PDFs if they ask.

The important part people need to understand is those implicated in fabricating responses didn’t involve the French community if you looked.

I don’t recall any such report? Maybe there was one where someone misinterpreted a source at some point, but I certainly don’t ever recall hearing about a report using fabricated sources.

Explains a lot about it’s overperformance NGL.

This games community never fails to dissapoint in some way. AI and forgeries just because you want your fave vehicles to be modelled… Incorrectly?

Smin did answer us in the French tech tree discord :
Less than 40 reports have been directly refused and will need to be redone, the only reports of importance seem to be the missing spall liners on the VBCI and Vextra.

I also asked if reports regarding the rafale that were accepted and implemented would be reviewed, and Smin answered

For now, it’s in the devs/moderators hand. I personally don’t think (and hope) that no reports on the rafale would be reverted, although we still don’t know which reports actually contained false info (rafale, Leclerc, or something not even French ?).

But, for all the people that complain about the “bad very bad French reporters faking reports”, I guess we will now be able to see where all that stand, as we can be assured that all related reports have been or will now be thoroughly checked. I guess we will see if the rafale gets some changed in the near future if that’s the case.

It only takes one or two to make a vehicle broken OP or screwed up so bad that it’s impossible to play.

Well, luckily it seems that the countless player made reports on the Rafale and passed by the former tech mod are now fine.
