tbf they could’ve simply went with export config to give it 2 extra pylons
You’ll note, they don’t acknowledge the fact that EFT is outperforming Rafale in ways it really oughtn’t to. After all, it’s only Rafale receiving favouritism in the form of a HMD it trialed.

This doesn’t work as an excuse anymore theres already been plenty of vehicles that have come to the game using munitions they’ve received from a certain year and then get retroactively given newer weapons from a more recent year like the Gripen the initial production Gripen C from the 90s couldn’t use the SDB/GBU-39 yet it was given these glide bombs which would make the aircraft a later standard from the late 2000s
There should be no issue giving the rafale a few extra missiles
Gripen C is not held to the MS standards. They would essentially have had to have added 4 or so different Gripen Cs. Instead, it is assumed to be able to receive the ordnance of the latest standard, if the weapon is in game.
Rafale F3R dictates the standard it is representative of.
EFT instantaneous turn rate is overperforming, ingame it can reach as high as 36 degrees per second.
The highest figure that I’ve seen anywhere for the Rafale is 35 degrees per second for ITR.
The EFT is well-established to perform worse than the Rafale in ITR.

Then change the name besides we still have vehicles in game whose designation doesn’t fit what munitions they carry
Change the name of Gripen C? It is still a Gripen C even if it receives the capability from the latest standards.
Nah, you don’t understand. Rafale’s the one receiving favouritsm, EFT is accurate without flaw.
your reading comprehension is subpar
So I really shouldn’t need to explain how discourse generally goes where “it” is usually used to refer to the most prevalent item of discussion. Which in this case was the differences in what you assumed to be a Gripen C of an early standard, and the standard we have in game. But I’m sure one of such sub par eloquence must know this, heaven forbid you sledge someone whilst maintaining inadequate grasp of English conversation patterns :p
Regardless, changing the name of F3R to F4 would not fix the issue. We’d still have a lot of work to do to bring it up to that standard. We are closer to F3R, and F3R is what they chose to give us.

Hey. Just to clarify, the Eurofighters loadout changes were regarding it’s stock air-to-air and subsequent air-to-air modification unlocks. As the unlock of new IR missiles prevented BVR missiles from being loaded stock. It had nothing to do with air-to-ground.

We’re still screwed by the pylon decision regardless. Notably more so than EFT on account of those pylons being the only ones capable of carrying air to ground, which EFT is not hindered by. It would be in the interest of fairness to resolve this.
EFT Showing Stock Payload not Eating any Air to Ground Pylons
Rafale Showing Stock Payload Eating All Air to Ground Pylons*
*Except GBU 24, but that’s not exactly comparable.

It breaks at like 1450-1460… its as fast as it should be according to source stating high alt limit and not low alt limit.

Any plane in game has a wrong deck speed because they multiply the offcial VNe of any plane by 1.05
Rafale seems to be underperforming in sustained too but I didn’t test it extensively so I can’t say for sure, a report got accepted that said it should around 24 degrees but it doesn’t really seem close to that
It’s very annoying to not even able to cruise at 102% AB
Also the HMD is but a meager feature as it’s a balancing tool as of now. I could tell you the Typhoon get a double missile pylon it shouldn’t have and you get it for free not because of balance. So if people want to complain the Rafale is lackluster they can do so…

Decided to add images to comment on EFT’s payload change. Did you know none of its pylons that can carry air to ground are eaten by its stock loadout, as opposed to Rafale where all of them are* 😿
*Unless you can find some way to grind with a single gbu 24. Only thing not monched by stock set up.

It doesnt even work properly. It doesnt show locked up targets. Anyone can confirm it shows allied units?
