Rafale's reign in a top-tier RB?

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.

Explain?

Eft and Su-30sm are a long way off the Rafale, while META in the past has seen the Gripen dominate but with F-15a and Su-27s being close behind in terms of capability, and before that, we saw f-16, mig 29 and mirage… and so on

Rafale is unlike anything we’ve seen since the F-14 release

Confirming balance isn’t the primary thing that drives the forum ?
DIRCM as an implementation isn’t working as it should, all helicopters are included in this.

I’m not the one that hounds CMs.
Several other posters are though, but they’re nowhere to be seen for some reason.

It might’ve been a mistake on their part, thinking it would be a fine and balanced addition.
This forum obviously doesn’t agree with Rafale being balanced, so those two things are really easy targets to aim for and ping CMs about to get an official statement.

So what’s stopping the community from doing it ?
Gaijin is handholding Rafale with buffs while competitors are left to rot behind.

This doesn’t seem like a very fair or healthy situation, but for some reason people are sucking it up and not demanding official answers.

Ofc its not. How did you get that idea?

True but only one LDIRCM can bend the Laser through space

What statement are you (or anyone for that matter) expecting? “yeah we put the Rafale in too early, sorry guys.” Its a balance fail not some gross violation of the community.

People tried and gave up about 6 months ago, the devs are not going to do anything about it, they all know about the animosity towards air top tier rn.

Glad we can agree the forum is a cesspool filled with bias and agendas.

Doesn’t really matter if things are busted regardless.

We now understand Rafale is too strong for the current state of the game, so we’ll look into nerfing the plane, probably by taking away it’s 2 missiles and/or HMD.

We now understand Rafale is too strong for the current state of the game, so we’ll be working hard to buff it’s competition so they get up to par by the next major update.

Something like that seems reasonable.
You as a developer should make sure gross inbalances like this are fixed as soon as possible.

I find it funny how people think that the mica ignores multipath more than other missile when the only reason why it actually hit planes while they multipath is because either it hits you directly from above where if you are not maneuvering properly the missile will physically hit you instead of proxiing you or you get splash damage form the missile hitting the ground which happens more often with missile that have a big warhead like the c5 or the aam4
All fox 3 can ignore multipath just like the mica it really just depends on the position you are firing from
Even on the deck ive seen my missile just hit someone that was multipathing or it happens to me sometimes

I unlocked the rafale a few werks ago and only just unlocked the micas as it bores me…

Playing 13.0 and 13.3 is where the fun is at.
The raf and EF should go play on their own.

By searching the forum for Rafale mald threads I didn’t find much to be honest and that thing is almost a year old at this point. People seemingly gave up really easily and without making much of a fuss.

All do that both the ah64e and z10me should also have blind spots

Grossly off topic but i think they actually do. Someone posted the “Spheres” if im not mistaken and they check out except for the MI28

@Armen_Lozone did and those spheres for the ah64e and z10me were how it should be and not how it is

Go try headons a missile with the ah64e and you will see that the LDIRCM is working

Red is what their coverage should be and blue is their current coverage ingame

Aster 30 in game is literally Aster 15 IRL, it doesn’t even come close to 100km

Why did you remain silent when Soviet and German costal fleets destroyed other costals with impunity, but suddenly, when something similar appeared in France, you started saying that’s was problem?

Ah no, don't answer

Leclerc still remains one of worst MBTs in survivability (not “the worst”), even taking into lack turret basket/internal modules

This mistake has long been acknowledged and will be fixed in next update, besides, there are no decent lineups for it

Oh, and the other French vehicles with stupid turret baskets just don’t count or exist anymore, right? Merkava not having a basket also is just French bias, isn’t it? You forget how the FCS module is added to a bunch of vehicles and literally does nothing aside from reduce damage dealt to them.

And in the game it’s bugged and barely hits Aster 15 range. And did you forget that the SAM system is also in the ITALIAN tree too?

Not special. Germany, Italy and Russia have all had the same.

A confirmed mistake by the developers that literally forgot about the existence of the French Tigre HAC.

Challenger, Ariete, Merkava and Type 10/90 is literally

Probably chines MBT too, but I don’t remember

I know this is an old discussion but I think a blanket change to not allow pilots to lock HMD through their aircraft (below the horizon depending on bank angle) would go a long way for the health of AirRB. Not only is it unrealistic but it kinda just breaks the game with the way Fox-3 missiles work now.

The only planes that would be able to do this in real life (to my knowledge) in the F-35, being able to see directly through the jet.

This is already modeled?

yeah most hmd/hms can’t designate below 20 degrees straight ahead

And they also have similar restrictions off to the side even though it’s lesser restriction which is pretty realistic
