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?

kinda harsh,… but ok,…
Oh that’s interesting, I assumed it was able to because there’s pics on Dassault’s website but I guess they’re Indian Rafales then
This is technically consistent though, at least for France. A recent example that is rarely brought up is the state of the Mirage 2000-5f, of which is similar to the Rafale. It uses equipment that is “technically” capable of the 5f, but is sourced from other 2000s, like the -9 and the Mk.2.
It as well is a monstrosity in inaccuracy but most complaints on that come from French players. The 5f, like the Rafale received a litany of bug reports resulting in a similarly constant stream of buffs, but that is curiously never brought up. Ultimately how the planes are represented is up to Gaijin, if there’s a per basis then so be it.

Not just Flankers but almost half of the vehicles in this game will loose some of their abilities but since you’re so obsessed with Delta canards you completely ignore this part.
Like it or not as long as something is compatible with XYZ vehicle Gaijin sees no issues to add it, in this case 8 missiles and HMD’s are much more real then twin rails on both Su-27/30SM since no one has ever seen that configuration nor tested on this planes.
Your endless effort to try nerf Delta Canards is something else, not just Rafale but both EFT and Gripen as well.

Are these AASM-1000s? Or am I dumb and they’re just 250s

Why are you so hyper fixating on his example than actually disproving his point.
The flanker was just an example where did you read that he wouldn’t want the same for the other aircraft as well?
He literally explained in his comment what you should do.
So make a thread to ask to remove every tested features of planes, everything that are technically possible but were never done (good luck also proving that).

Of course that is not the case, this due to Rafale getting waves of buff that again solely based on Gaijin’s decision not the Bug Reporter, why would the Bug Reporter be blamed for this? It’s like, someone want their EFT got fixed, and then everyone would call them out “How dare you asking for another buff?”. At least in current meta there are always an aircraft that can counter Rafale projecting power, compared to F-14 HOWEVER, especially after 7 months, Rafale finally being worse in dogfighting. Does that sound not enough for you?
Even with Rafale can only carrying 6 missiles, wouldn’t make it stop overpowering.
Honestly, every aircraft other than Rafale and EFT are screwed up due to having a worser Avionics to go defensive. This wouldn’t be a problem if the BR Bracket be fixed ASAP, you know F-16 and MiG-29 used to bully every 3rd Gen Aircraft. Every year the problem is the same, a tight BR so everyone can feel at the top when using top of the BR vehicle.

Yea these are '1000s, which are also part of the F.4.1 additions.

I think you’ve been stating things as if the Rafale doesn’t lack things that another aircraft might not have. For instance yes the Rafale does have constant 24/7 IFF in its HMD that other aircrafts besides the A-10 do not have.
But the Eurofighter in the meantime has an HMD feature that the Rafale is also supposed to have (but for whatever reason doesn’t currently get despite it being reported), and this is the fact that the Eurofighter is able to display enemy contacts through its HMD.
Example:

Euro figher have more chaff flare more missiles better engine and better dogfight capabilities than rafale
Why did you ignore the rest of the question?
The utility of this feature is not nearly as useful as permanent passive friendly markers in SB.
Perhaps the Rafale should be removed from the game until suitable counters to it can be added.
