because theres no real discussion here. Except for the occasional “french pilots are built different” cope no one disagress with the notion that the Rafale is broken. Thats wildly different in the MI28 threads for example
No idea, i havent read the 9000+ bug reports these guys filed, i just know that it got change because of them
thats because Gaijins hates the Eurofighter
China and Sweden is where I’d focus my effort for now.
Along with bug reports for other nations. Like for example, a BOL overhaul would be a MASSIVE buff for the Typhoon and about a dozen other aircraft
28NM has a few direct competitors, while Rafale does not really.
I’d at least expect some (and by some I mean dozens) pings to the CMs asking them to explain why Rafale is still being this busted while obvious and easy solutions are out there.
What we have here is more suited to have an Indian flag behind it, thus being a part of the GB tree.
Minor nation bias. You often notice it in WT. The Rafale we’ve got ingame is absurdly stronK and it saddened me as I read its not even a real existing service Rafale. But a frankensteine’ed one, a wild mix of test configurations and whats really existing in their ranks.
Other nation would never get this. In case of Germany its f.e. always very strict the service variant. It applies for planes and ground vehicles as well. Germany also tested alot on the ground and in the air. But almost nothing of this will be ever added.
There is an anti bias towards minor nations, the Rafale is the exception.
France in the recent months/years is one of the best treated minor nation if you ask me.
Minor nations in general get less additions but it’s to be expected from the Gaijin’s business model.
His point is that most people acknowledge the Rafale is OP, it has a small cult following who claim it isn’t but they are a tiny minority.
The Mi-28NM has a dedicated army of fans who will scream skill issue, not OP and balanced, and people who oppose the NM get called bad, rus bias screamers and a sleu of other insults
28NM is artificial BS the Rafale isnt.
There have been multiple it seems like most people are waiting for either the next major update or some much needed bug fixes for its competitors.
Which well probably get at some point but it seems like France did actually test this version
Ekhm*
USA with F-5E which has plenty of weapon from testing like agm-65
Germany with R-27ER, Brimstone, AIM-9J etc
Russians with Kh-38MT and Kh-38ML on Su-25SM3, Su-30SM
China with J-11B which from what i know doesn’t have A2G capabilities(we have batch 02), in game has Kh-29TE and laser guided bombs.
Other nations have frankenplanes but rafale is just insanly op
Thats not true. There’s a huge list telling otherwise. Like the turret basket nerf, all LeClerks were spared. Samp/t SPAA with super mega space range up to Neptune. Crazy destroyer sized ‘coastal’ boats kill small PT’s with impunity. Fra gets candy in every game mode. Even got the German Tiger UHT as sidegrade at a lower BR.
Put the tinfoil down thodin, france suffered for years before their current top tier dominance
Planes on top tier hasn’t bad or suffer before rafale. Mirages are still good jets(except 4000 and F1C)
So I’ve been watching a few YouTube videos of content creators stating that the Rafale is the best plane or the most overpowered plane and etc.
I went through the comment sections of these videos and a lot of the comments were players stating that the Rafale has short range missiles and simultaneously stating the Su-30 is better since it has more missiles, and can do cobra or that the Eurofighter is better because it has longer ranged missiles.
I checked their profiles and those claiming the Su-30 were better happened to only have Su-30 as top tier, and same for those claiming EFT was better.
So long as the uninformed masses of players claim their favorite non-Rafale aircraft is better than the Rafale, you won’t see this thread explode.
It’s easy to understand why the F-14 dominated, 6 long range ARH missiles, it’s not as easy to explain about the Rafale and why the MICA being shorter ranged doesn’t matter, especially if they want to believe they made the right choice to grind the Su-30, F-15, or EFT.
That’s even worse, meaning more people should be pinging CMs asking for a statement on this, clearly unbalanced situation. Gaijin buffing the thing while ignoring the competition just adds fuel to the fire, but somehow the community isn’t hounding Gaijin employees for answers.
Then youre not looking in the right threads. People in the Eurofighter thread constantly annoy Gunjob, because of the Eurofighter bug fixes that could make it a better competitor to the Rafale
Most of the people who believe Rafale isn’t OP aren’t Rafale mains if comment section of YouTube videos is anything to go by since there are players who “cope” (for lack of a better word) that the aircraft they grinded is actually the best aircraft in the game (Su-30, F-15, EFT).
That has no meaning on the gameplay and it’s balancing.
I still have to find a single ping in this very thread.
So it’d be extremely easy to strip the 2 additional missiles and HMD for balancing reasons…
Annoying Gunjob to pass found information internally or to try and escalate already submitted bug reports is totally different from hounding CMs several times per day in a single thread.
This doesn’t align with the “grass is always greener on the other side” so I highly doubt this is accurate to begin with.
It does align with the sunken cost behavior where people don’t want to admit they grinded the wrong top tier in anticipation.
In a top tier with a semblance of balance, there would be no ‘right top tier’, you are inadvertently admitting that the Rafale is unfairly dominating the matchmaker
