You are literally talking about the thread where people didn’t want 8 missiles on the Rafale and were even willing to tolerate no HMD. Always with the blanket hostility, it’s so tedious.

Gonna need a source on that claim, cuz i was one pushing for no HMD and 6 (fixed) MICAs, and the thread was violently hostile to that entire idea and has always been. Its pretty much always been;
“HMD, 8 MICAs AND fixed MICAs, the Rafale isnt that good, the only reason is does well is cuz French mains are better than every other player in this game!”, barring a few reasonable people like the one who made the thread.
The vast majority of the Rafale mains in this thread have always been the “its never enough” kind

@WreckingAres283 is the one who made the thread, and one of the aforementioned few reasonable people in it
Is that not different with every nation to a degree? How many dozens of ludicrous bug reports that aren’t as high profile with even worse and blatantly fake sourcing. It’s a Rafale thread, of course all the fans will gravitate towards it and want the best for it. Like every other premier vehicles’ threads for their nations.

You are calling out the creator of the whole thread to not want a mutant rafale lol.
Its a fact the current war thunder rafale does in fact not represent the in service french version.
Thats all he wanted. Not to mention that france should have gotten a pesa rafale first either way ,but whatever

unreasonable? most of the last post from this thread was attacking the Bug Reporter for cherrypicking the source. If it was about Rafale, then you could just talk about Rafale at the least. And again, it’s happening again, strawman all the way.
Here it’s pretty common the the thread getting derailed again and again to attack Rafale just because of everything.
It’s good finally Rafale get counter reported, hey at least you all can celebrate your bloody report, I’m sure this will press the French winrate and K/D.
The issue is the degree it occurs at in this thread. There are unreaosnable people in every nations playerbases, but the people in this thread are on a whole other level of unreasonable. DirectSupport makes a new “MICA bad, needs buff! Rafale irrelevant!” cry post every update, and everyone who strays from the group line of “Rafale F3R needs HMD, 8 missiles, fixed missiles, and isnt blatantly overpowered, its all just our fantastic player skill” gets attacked or flagged.
Thats why theres so much animosity. In other threads, you can ignore the few crazies, with the Rafale, the thread is mostly composed of the crazies.
That aside though, I hope someone gets around to reporting the acceleration now with the new information we have regarding the bug report, as its mid-speed acceleration is definitively overperforming. I might have a go at it, but id have to spade the Rafale to do so, and its a horrendously boring plane to fly, so I’m not sure i wanna put the effort in if someone else is already planning on it.

I was asked to show people who were of the opinion and I complied.
Ignoring certain people, of course people will be hyper passionate about a specific vehicle in their threads. It’s perspective, people here could go into the Eurofighter threads and think they’re “crazy” too. These threads each are in the thousands of posts, of course the people in them REALLY like their planes.

The problem is this being a multiple reaccuring thing by the french specialy targeted at the RAFALE. Its not derailing. Its us voicing our complains about the rafale having received falls buffs on the missuse of sources. While other reports by gajin stay untouched.
Whats derailing about talking abiut rafale reports? We literaly are talking about rafale performance. You seem to be attacking the wrong thing here
Call me biased, I never seen any vehicle specific thread that are constantly getting attacked for being overpowered, and to some extent personal attack to the Bug Reporter.
I don’t think it’s nor a pure coincidence that this thread wasn’t as active as before, because when it’s active, then it was mostly the cope army coming yapping non stop about Rafalebeing overpowered (I understand this problem, but hell, none of this would become reality it Gaijin didn’t being arbitrary towards EFT). At least since the last 2000 post I seen here.
But hey, that’s my observation, I could be wrong.

Fineee let’s just ignore some of the last message around 9 hours ago that mostly are attacking the Bug Reporter for cherrypicking the report.
Firstly, it’s tedious, but I think with all the posts the antagonizing is tiring. To your point what immediately comes to mind is the KH-38 thread, which devolved into a ceaseless hate thread on everything Russian.

Its not a personal attack to say the bug reporters are liars when they are repeatedly found to be lying by misusing and misrepresenting sources to get favorable buffs for the Rafale, or nerfs to their potential rivals. That’s just stating a fact.
Vehicles get attacked all the time for being OP, the Rafale is actually on the lighter end of things, theres just very few Rafale threads in the first place, with this being the only notable one besides the cry-posts made to buff the MICA every update.
The Rafale being beyond broken and the EFT being nerfed are separate issues. The fact they are often discussed together is cuz they were added at the same time and because the Rafale was/is treated with blatant favoritism while the EFT is treated with obvious hatred and scorn by the devs, with the Rafale receiving buffs for the exact same reason the EFT was denied buffs on occasion.
Fixing the EFT would decrease the level of Rafale dominance and increase game balance to some degree (more nations would have competitive jets), but doesnt change the fact the Rafale should be at minimum a 14.7, more likely a 15.0+ aircraft in its current in-game iteration, so all other nations would still need to catch up to the Rafale and EFT in the event the EFT was actually fixed.

You know what, I’ll admit to you that the due diligence issue is a creeping problem. I mean because War Thunder is also a game, getting caught up in wanting the best for your “thing” and making it the most meta causes a lot of bad actors to step up.
But we’re mostly just players, we aren’t the final line on checking these things. And that ultimate failure is just in how swamped the process is for the Mods having to check, and the Devs finally implementing.
You saw it yourself, reports even blindside the creators of this thread.

Man you really can’t be serious.
In the end this is a rafale thread. The reason you are seeing animosity when you come whining here is that as long as someone starts talking about the rafale in anyway (and keep in mind this is a rafale thread, there’s always someone coming and complaining about the EFT.
Even for a goddamn pilot model change, there comes @MythicPi here to complain about the EFT…
I usually don’t have any animosity in other threads, as you might have seen. I think I’m usually being pretty chill in other threads (such as the EFT), because I absolutely agree that there’s some major issues with this plane, but I don’t always bring the rafale in that thread either.
You guys can’t stop derailing the thread, complaining and whining, that’s a given that fans of the rafale are getting highly annoyed with you and are more and more agressive.
If you want to complain about the rafale and EFT, there’s a thread just for that - and you should notice there’s far less animosity there because it’s acknowledged that this thread is made for this specific purpose
And @MythicPi dont take it personally that I mention you, you just have the last message that wasn’t cleaned up doing just this

It was a report about the rafale.
Thats the end of it. And apparantly from what we found out, the french community did in fact knew about the problematic report beforehand and avout the changes made by the pilot to the fuel warning. And did decide to not intervene in the matter and just let it go trough.
Lets just say the reporter did not missuse sources and did a genuine mistake on not noticing it. Prominent french members that are active in the bug section were aware of it, still let it go trough for their benefit
