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
So is this why we see Israeli/GB mains constantly talk about how their tanks are the best of the best ?
But it has meaning for the average whining on the forums.
Youre welcome to be the first here.
Which Gaijin rarely does when theyre the ones needlessly giving it those things in the first place.
Which also very rarely happens?
You keep trying to force “gotcha” moments out of any statements I make, can you cool it for a day?
At best that statement is simply stating that meta-slaves don’t want to regret grinding a non-meta plane. But I will agree Rafale is busted as of currently.
The ‘not-meta’ should never include the closest 2 competitors should it
No we don’t, but it doesn’t dismiss the fact that the majority of comments I’ve seen that proclaim the Rafale is not the best are from users who play top tiers other than the Rafale. Not saying that their opinion is correct, just that it helps explain why there isn’t outrage.
Equally, it is often stated that the Gripen, EFT, and J-10 beats the Rafale in dogfighting, and to those who are uninformed may believe Rafale can’t be the best since it’s not the best at dogfighting, although top tier gameplay isn’t revolved solely around dogfighting.
