My track record doesnt show much effort in the area of a nerf either. Im not actively making bug reports or the likes, im just discussing open bug reports in general on the aircraft.
As for why my track record might not show that I’m putting much effort into buffs, its cuz nobody argues against me when I say something should be buffed. Half the time they seem to outright just ignore me calling for a buff to the Rafale/MICA in general. They absolutely do argue when I say something should be nerfed though, which skews the number of comments I’m making towards nerfs since thats what everyone else is talking about with me in this thread DESPITE me asking to stop bringing it up, since its largely pointless anyways.
I think the 4th category should be people who are fine with MICA’s staying the same if it gets 8 missiles, because the MICA does fill the short range niche that most missiles can’t do. I personally think that by giving the F3R 8 missiles it will age better. If kept as it is right now, it will mean France will need another jet (like the F.4 with 8 missiles) much sooner than if the F3R was given 8 missiles. By buffing the F3R’s loadout they make it so they can hold off on the F.4 until they are ready to add MICA IR, meteor, etc.
I’m not saying we need the MICA IR or meteor at all in the near future, but it at least gives gaijin a reason to add the F.4 with some new features other than being a simple upgrade with 2 more missiles, which is effectively what it would be since the F3R has HMD
your point, the one about historical nerfs, would be more likeable if gaijin does apply the same logic everywhere, everytime, but we both know that it isn’t the case. this is why i think people argue with you on that.
on a gameplay POV imagine having a toptier 14.0 jet without even an HMS, i would cope with it if not for it’s not-AESA radar that, if working properly, can widely compensate these kind of lacks imo
Look man, you’re getting heat because you come across as a fraud
You don’t have anything in France, you have no stats on any french aircraft but strangely enough you’re very involved in this thread telling people they should shut up because they got an HMD
You come across as a fake. That’s why you’re getting heat
You spend a whole lot of time talking about how vehicles you do not own and have never worked toward should perform and it’s very sketchy
Ive literally never claimed I play france, ive openly claimed I havent yet because they did not have any premiums I found interesting enough to grind france with, and though I like thr M2K, I didnt like it enough to warrant subjecting myself to dozens of hours playing a plane I dont like just to get it.
As for why I’m in this thread, as Ive stated NUMEROUS times, I LIKE the Rafale, its one of my fav jets, I intend to get it, I want to discuss it, its fun to learn new things about it (such as the ±70° radar limits), etc…
Im also in this thread a lot because despite wanting to drop this topic like 200 posts ago, i keep getting replied to, attacked, pinged, etc… by ppl in this thread who cant let stuff go.
Rafale, even with all its issues and MICA’s shortcomings, is a beast. I understand the frustration of the people here but there’s way too much doomposting.
By the way, thanks to all the bug reporters teams for their work !
And lets be real just because majority of players cant do BVR or dont know how to doesnt make Rafale better or equal in this aspect with say F-15E/I or EFT.
Unfortunately, after a few versions, they will add F3R (India) to the British lineup, while the French version will fall behind in all aspects, which will definitely disappoint French players
to be fair this is very unlikely, but not impossible, 'cause smin already stated that having an indian subtree doesn’t automatically mean that UK will have all indian vehicles apart from the gap-fillers (but i guess this doesn’t apply for indian-made jets like tejas)
It’s obvious the F15E / EFT are better to play agressive and get the first strike on the opposite team. This is the “meta” if you just want to farm kills fast. But that doesn’t detract from what the Rafale is capable of, which is slaughtering multiple target at close range in quick succession. It takes more work, sure. I enjoy a bit of challenge.
Even if they “”““fixed””“” the MICA, they wouldn’t compete with these two aircrafts anyway. But they’re in a good place, right now, because the aircraft carrying them is very capable.
Nah, fixed mica would be on range level of amraam, even faster throught portion of it. Yeah, you would have less missiles but they would be almost as potent as amraam and you have significantly better radar.
