Rafale Buff/Br reduction (13.7)

It’s not. Only 6 missiles and a downgrade over the M2K flight model at higher br.

nah, I don’t slurp down compression, downtiers as a general rule shouldnt happen

It’s the same exact amount of MICA EMs with a direct upgrade to flight model, radar, and RWR.

You joking or serious lmfao?

Nope, there was a bug when entering on pilot view you could fly underground, they fixed it on this patch.

How I feel you have no games in SU27 or SU27SM…

You know, that soviet air is worst on top tier atm on air games…

They should not,… current Rafale F.3R or EF-2000 are too advanced and held back on capabilities.

Neither Typhoon nor Rafale are held back.
9 of the 10 tech trees have equivalent aircraft.
Su-27SM, F-15C/E, Typhoon, and Rafale are not too advanced.

If they dare to even think about it, we will make the early 2023 “revolts” look like a child’s play by comparison.

That being said, even the backlash there was over the mere possibility made staff members need to come out to deny it to be a thing, so it appears even that was enough to keep thethreat in check.

Good riddance, I would’ve just outright dogged on war thunder on every platform imaginable and started a boycott movement. See hi ether like their economy reduced :P

That’s what happened, hahah.

As soon as the leak was released and we saw that change listed, we set the Forums on fire; barely 2 hours later, CMs were already on full damage-control mode and reassured us that such economy nerf was NOT planned or going to happen.

I don’t know if such change was planned but cancelled after seeing our reaction, or if the leak was unreliable/false and it was never really planned; in either case, I am happy to think there’s no danger for now.

Maybe it was to test where we were putting the line down

Interestingly though, the same leak stated that Gaijin planned to split the tech trees in WW2 and Modern vehicles, which has actually been a quite popular request for some time. Such plan was reportedly cancelled after the whole and brief backlash event.

Perhaps Gaijin planned to split the trees, and they thought that a SL earning reduction was warranted since people wouldn’t need to purchase as many vehicles as we do now; but, upon seeing the backlash over the SL nerf, they decided to scrap the whole concept.

(the former)

maybe but it wouldnt be beneficial anyway, sury you wouldnt have to grind the ww2 vehicles but theyre the least expensive and time consuming part of the grind, being only about 1/4 or 2/7 at best

Indeed- when I grind new trees, 15% of the time is Ranks I-III, 35% is IV-VI, and 50% is VII-VIII alone.

Anyway, we went a bit off the rails! Hahah;

Regarding Rafale, I don’t think lowering its BR is a solution; it would neither solve or change anything for it, while it would be detrimental for lower BR planes now forced to face it.

If there are inaccuracies that impact its performance, then they should be fixed ASAFP; same goes for the Eurofighters as well.

That’s hilarious lol

Impact in 3…2…1 annnnd I lost him.

ok, tell me where are : Meteors MICA-IR, SCALP-EG, AM.39 (i’ll not ask about ASMP-A, since it’s nuclear)

cuz’, in the end: those are missile/AGM/ASM employed by Rafale F.3R and Later, all those missile types are within the game.

After that, we can look at futher radar abilities, RWR ones,… SPECTRA Suite, and several other things.

Sooo,… YES Rafale is Held back, and i suspect the same for EF-2000 and even some F-15E features

The same place as R-37s, R-74s, AAM-5s, etc.
Meteor and MICA IR aren’t needed, and those are weapons not aircraft.

Thanks for admitting Rafale and Typhoon aren’t held back by citing weapons and not aircraft.

hum?!

Radar is a direct downgrade currently, flight model is only better in terms of AOA (not that useful for air rb) and acceleration everything else about the flight model is worse. I’m pretty sure the rwr is the same and having 2 extra magic 2s are very useful for situations when micas wont work (when people are deck hugging).
