With the Rafale buff is a Nerf in all the word sense, because there is no more pairity of “ok this one dogfights better but this one is better at medium-long distances”.
They say that the radar is fixed and I dont see that, also, I only play Ground RB or squad battles and in those maps it´s already difficult to fight a rafale with an EF because there are more dogfights and close combats that in air battles, now with those nerfs gonna be even more difficult.
In GRB its almost pointless vs. Rafales. Its without markes and while you have an extremly faulty EF radar, Rafales have much better situational awarenes and spot things first. Add easier locking, MICA helldeath missiles and vs. Ground also F&F ordnance, which is almost as good as russian KH’s.
Its just not fair. EF BR should be at least decreased in GRB. You’re inferior in every field. Its like Rafale is the next level, introduced just far too early. The game was not ready for something like the Rafale.
Maybe if gaijin just give the brimstones their real fnf capabilities (not to all 18 but just 6) and it would be ok.
So you want even more compression in GRB for air, good lord.
They should also nerf the Rafales g limit. Should be on par with the EF. I dont know if they have, havent played it yet on the dev. The radar is such a mess i dont even use tws just the hmd
they have not
Thats the issue in Ground RB. TWS is key to scan the GRB map and to spot contacts before they do. And guess who wins this game… its not the EF.
MICAs are better than AIM120 in those GRB arenas, its pretty smallscale.
Beside TWS detection issue, Rafale also simply locks easier. No ghosting and similar stuff.
Rafale has far better ground ordnance (F&F).
Rafale wins every dogfight, cause it simply pulls better.
Why are EF and Rafale even allowed to play in the same league? Why do they have the same GRB BR?
Why was Rafale with that op radar introduced that early? Was the game even ready to support this jet?
I mean…EF has just laserlock Brims, even the ICE Phantom is better in GRB, thx to its 2 Mavericks and better radar.
There’s a report in to basically nerf the Rafale C top speed/acceleration down to levels in line with the SEP the engines produces, which means the EF should still have an advantage at high altitudes.
I think if this goes trough it would affect balance in a good way.
Well we are in the 3rd iteration of the dev server and we have had 5-7 changes to the Typhoon but only buffs for the Rafale.
Yea ive seen the Rafale can go mach 2 which is ridiculous.
Oh and Russia and China might get even better fnf atgms while EF is still stuck with laserlock
I pray for the HOSBO/HOPE. They’re already in the files.
I think they might add them together with the Israeli Spice bombs as they’re kinda the same, Diehl and Rafael even had a collab project that went nowhere that was derived from both HOPE/HOSBO and SPICE.
Yea just test drove the Rafale on the dev its still pulling 15-16g’s but god forbid the EF does it. It should also be pulled down to the Ef’s 12-13g’s
Untill we get even fnf brimstones i dont see those for awhile.
So far EFT was better at dogfights, of course if you knew what you were doing.
Yeah, Rafale is Dev’s darling, while EF got artificially nerfed ordnance from the start and like the 5th flight model nerf. Rafale is no Mach 2 jet. Its top is Mach 1.8 or 1.9 or something like that.
I still can’t understand their logic why EF doesn’t deserve FnF weapons, while every other max BR jet had access to exactly these. Even the Rafale, which is superior in every single point than the EF. I just don’t understand it.
No, check it out. Rafale will dance in circles around EF. No chance. Hope it wont go live.
I was talking about live server from the moment they got introduced.
The patch is almost there, not worth to talk about the live server imho. Its almost gone into digital nirvana.
Okay, what nerf to EFT makes you believe Rafale will dance around it ?
All I could see are some high speed nerfs.
It’s locked to 12g pull now
Guns only dogfights*
