When did this happen
Guess I’ll be that guy and remind everyone there is a MICA thread:

This thread will also soon reach 10k
And the last 1000 post would be rant against Rafale and Rafale again lmao.

During the Fox 3 update afaik.
I don’t recall this thread being the go-to thread for advocating for fixes of aircrafts not named Rafale. People shouldn’t be complaining that fans of the Rafale are advocating for fixes of the Rafale, it’s like complaining that water is wet.
Interestingly all the same people who complain about inconsistency of the fixes being applied to the Rafale and not other aircrafts are the same people who have not opened a dev server thread to advocate for implementation of fixes to aircrafts that they would like to see fixes for.

So why not fix the plane by advocating that the devs hold it to the same standard as others? Why not fix the plane by removing the HMD that was only tested with it? Or removing the 2 additional pylons that the French Air Force does not use? Or removing the datalink IFF that no other fighter in game has?

Sure start with other vehicles first then comeback to Rafale later.
It’s obvious that your only goal is nerf the Rafale as hard as you can instead of Bein useful for this thread.
Nexttt.

Which “additional pylons” are you talking about?
French airforce Rafale C F.3R only have six MICA stations. The additional two wing stations are unique to the Indian F.3R.

Still it doesn’t prevent French version to use them.
They simply didn’t bother until F5.
Sure, I don’t think anyone would content they cannot be fit to a French F.3R, just that they aren’t.

If it’s technically possible then it’s enough for Gaijin.
Some people just don’t understand this.
If something should be nerfed based on realism and operational reality then why shouldn’t it be the plane that currently goomba stomps everything else is every game mode?
For the record I would also remove the double pylon from the Flankers that probably shouldn’t have it.

Bruh HMD and 2 MICA pylons were already discussed, do we have to go on again ?
In this specific case, the rafale is far from the only one that got this treatment. Aside from F2 (which I haven’t seen reports on it), all planes that tested their HMD but didn’t use them in service have them.
The 2 pylons is following Gaijin’s policy of giving all armement that planes are technically capable of carrying. Although this isn’t always correctly einforced (like the rafale missing several air to ground armement option btw, but we are not crying a river over that)
This is solely a dev decision, and is not unique to the rafale in anyway
Why should rafale fans start advocating for such nerfs when they are far from the only nation getting this treatment (just like the Sukhois double pylons, but also air to ground armements)

This isn’t actually the case though; it’s not a uniform policy. Gaijin has withheld armament for the purposes of balancing or for the purpose of just making something unique. Look at what Gaijin has done with the F-18s for minor nations.
Nobody that I knew of was asking for extra pylons on the Flanker. It’s pretty obvious that Gaijin added the double pylon as a bandaid fix for the double scan radar bug that persisted for 6+ months.
The whole argument for adding the extra missiles to the Rafale was because without them it would have been irrelevant as a top tier addition. It’s pretty obvious 7 months later that is not the case and the plane vastly outperforms everything else in the game.
DirectSupport was complaining that discussing other aircraft in comparison to the Rafale wasn’t “fixing” it. Does fixing it only apply to buffing it?
