Rafale is massively underperforming

Hell I even want 2v2. Running a wingman mission with objectives. Peak gaming but Gaijin wants shorter games and queue times.

Maybe the Rafale community constantly begging for massive buffs at every drop of a hat and at times that it doesn’t need it has burned out any goodwill amongst most community members.

Every community complains for things they don’t need, mind you no one says anything about the myriad of players screaming for F-22 and AIM-9X, this is a red herring unless you feel that major nation whiners are “rightful” in what they ask for no matter how absurd it is and minor nation mains should only ask for what is “appropriate” (appropriate being anything so long as it is worse than the US/RU equipment ingame).

Certain members of the community are the type that feel vengeful if certain vehicles or equipment are better than their favorite nations’ vehicles and equipments, it has nothing to do with the French community asking for things that isn’t needed (which is true of every community).

Funny enough, you fit in this category, when MatrixRupture had his report on the British Harrier flight model shut down, you took the moment to say in a now deleted post that the British Harrier was a poopy plane from a poopy country (no clue if the report system or yourself had taken down the post).

If a non-US/RU plane is modeled in Warthunder as a great plane, then its mains need to stop asking for buffs. If the non-US/RU plane is modeled in Warthunder as a bad plane, then its just reality and its a bad vehicle made from a technologically deficient country.

No inch should be conceded to yours or others’ wishes anyhow, perhaps it’s time for me to write some more reports.

Feet flags posts that hurts his feelers.

As for the reports gaijin doesn’t care enough to take action.

Harrier 1 and 2 underperform in STR, lift, and climb rate.

VIFF according to the devs is a game limitation, as in VIFF will never be modeled in game

Agree, I don’t really play GRB, but I like the concept of ARM weapons, even if I can just use them in test drives it will be cool enough.

Also June update is big, so yeah, why not add new IR too.

I not gonna change anymore 😭💔

This is a silly point.

If USA players had been spamming for F-22 during a year long period where their plane was the best thing in the game by huge margins then you would have a point.

The Devs have responded to his bug reports multiple times. Matrixrupruee thinks that the Harrier is a superior dogfighter to the F-16A and he has tied himself in knots trying to misinterpret multiple sources to try to argue that point.

It’s a not the end-all-be-all dogfighter that he thinks it is. There is a reason it scored lower than F-18 Late in British dogfighting / close combat simulations.

He’s actually another example of someone who has burned people’s attitudes towards a plane by being completely insufferable and immovable about it. Heck he is able to get myself and @Mytho-GR1 to agree on something. That’s like one sign of the apocalypse.

Once again this is gross mid characterization about my position. My criticism of buffs to aircraft and their relationship to demonstrated performance metrics has been consistent.

For instance myself and the RU bug reporter that are responsible for the bug report regarding the turn performance are disappointed with the way that it has been implemented and the flight model is not representative of Flanker performance. We both agree that it is over-performing and have said as much.

Contrast this with the French community who made a report based on HUD footage and then completely ignored the low fuel warning. And then tried to obfuscate the truth about that low fuel warning once it was pointed out.

Or contrast F-15 turn rate report that I helped work on. The plane is underperforming at certain speeds still but myself and @GeneralLee2000 were willing to accept the developer explanation and the disconnect between local host nY values and what is actually going on in the game. We are not gagging anyone and everyone telling them that the developers are wrong or that the minor difference in turn rate is evidence that the developers just hate American equipment in the same way Matrixrupture turns every discussion into something about the Harrier.

You have never given aj inch. You have always over-asked because you think that you have to mirror the perceived slights of other players. You have explained this to me in detail before. It’s so transparent to anyone that has paid attention that it genuinely has backfired and burned up any goodwill towards the French community. (People that play French planes…not necessarily French people.)

You’re the only one misinterpreting docs making false reports

I’ve got 5+ documents that all support the same data.

What doc is this, and when.

Idk man I’ll let you decide

Can the harrier sustain 6+ G irl or not?

They don’t think it can.

This is the data point.

As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t get much more clear

Point in case u flag everything that makes you sad :(

Why would I share documentation with some tosser who accuses me of making false reports, reporting his posts despite evidence to the contrary, and just generally being a nonce at all times?

Sorry bud but you can buy the bus ticket and go to the national archives on your own.

tbf it’s Gaijin we’re talking about. I agree though.

Hmm I wonder if this has anything to do with it and limitations of the game.

What was dev response to this bug report? Or just not going to share it?

Nozzle use above .5 Mach decreases the sustained turn performance. If anything the sustained G should be even more

Pretty sure I’ve shown you this before

Regardless it just proves my point about you.

On a EM chart you saw the sustained turn like pass well above 6G and yet you still can’t just admit it under-performs and should be sustaining much more.
