Russian Teams Steamrolling NATO - Top Tier is Broken Again?

Is nobody here normal?

This is perfectly normal bro, who else would be stupid enough to turned down an opportunity to make money? remember you gain advantage at another’s disadvantage, C-a-p-i-t-a-l-i-z-e…

I mean it’s hard to stay serious around someone who convinced themselfs that the US is a bad tree.

Not trying to be biased, if you’re going to include next-generation tech demonstrator or production units, even prototypes, I personally think that USSR with Russia and luckly with any other ex-sovietic republic will always be a step further in this regard, although T-14 Armata is a bad apple.

but I can’t believe it on this is real data 60% min vs russia loser maches and hes have lower winrate?

As I said, something being WW2 or not, or being added 11 or 110 years ago doesn’t really matter if it still exists in 2025. That thing is most likely a precedent for what you’re upset about, so referring to that is your best bet if you want to give EFT additional missiles.

Don’t worry, I saw the documents and nowhere in there it was explicitly stated the G load was either average or maximum.

Then you’ll have a problem with ammo choices and reload speed being changed for balancing.

If they wanted to keep seekers the same because of heavy classifications, why did they change the seeker for MICA ?

There is a very simple conclusion guys - above 9.7 is crap.
Done.
Dont play it and instead play the enjoyable bR’S.

Dont keep playing stuff that isn’t fun :)

Grab a Churchill and be target practice while you drink your tea.

US is a goated tt, top tier might lack a bit but its usable

No it’s not. Prototypes getting their planned and reasonable weapons is fine by me. In service planes having double standards when it comes to what weapons are integrated is not.

I do but I also recognize that reload is the best thing for balance since especially manual reload will vary wildly based on different circumstances so it’s still a very different situation

Genuinely no idea but with the speed by which Rafale bug reports get worked on and the constant buffs despite already being the best jet I’m almost certain that Dassault has Gaijins CEO locked up in a basement somewhere

You need evidence of a plane mounting a certain weapon to have it in the game.
It being a prototype or not shouldn’t matter one bit.

No it’s not as WT assumes everything is working in best circumstances.
Crews don’t get tired, driving on harsh terrain while going fast doesn’t matter, engines always produce maximum specified power, armor is always made up to specified standard without any production mistakes, etc.

They also like to withhold ammunition from vehicles for balancing.

MICA was already arguably the best ARH in the game but it still received the seeker buff, all the while other ARHs are stuck with generic one that is shared by all other missiles.
Hammer’s IR seeker is also ridiculously overperforming which has been reported but Gaijin isn’t acting upon that.

It’s a good thing this is all found on a FR vehicle, as if it was on a RU one I believe some might be going on a hunger strike lmao.

Agree to disagree here, i think giving prototypes some leeway compared to full production models is fine.

Which together with reload is a good way to balance things without compromising the vehicle itself.

Rightfully so, the Rafale is a balance war crime and the only saving grasp is that france doesnt (yet) have that many players

Rafale was the 3rd most played 14.3 with around 970k matches as of August 2025, right behind german eurofighter with 1.07 mil and su30 with 1.5 mil games played

Thats why i said yet, its steadily rising and especially with the Mirage F1C-200 getting more and more games top tier will soon be unplayable. And France has still a lot less players than the big 3

Yes It Will be unplayable, unless the rafale gets hit by some big Nerf or if further powercreep gets introduced

10 bucks on powercreep next update. They could have just introduced an earlier Rafale with 6 MICAs and no HMD and we would be golden

I mean that is the rafale we got on release. Gaijin just decided it should get 2 extra MICAs and HMD for some reason a few days after release iirc.

This has been a thing for a few months now, I bought myself a F1C-200 early this year with discounts and every match was just that jet. After Hornet Sting even more people got themself one, and teams were already starting to have 4 or even 5 rafales, we are already at the point where rafales teams are a thing, and the next update discounts will be the same.

No surprise tho tbh, ofc everyone will want to grind a jet that performs as good as the Rafale.

Yeah thats what i mean. At some point all of these Mirages will be a Rafale and correct me if im wrong but France cant fight France rn in air rb so it will be just be France curbstomping everyone.

Yep they should have left it that way but no idea why the Rafale gets so much love

That’s not fair for production vehicles and is a clear double standard.
It’s no one’s fault that vehicle was only ever a prototype and thus shouldn’t get any preferential treatment.

That is compromising the vehicle.
You’re reducing their capabilities to the level of other vehicles found at similar BRs. I don’t want to play copy paste vehicles with different skins, and I doubt neither do you considering your comment few replies back:

Completely ignoring a weapons real life capabilities to bring it on the same level as a corresponding weapon from another tree completely undermines the spirit of the game. If they do that then why dont we all just play the same vehicles with different skins? That would be a super balanced and fair experience but its hardly what we want, is it?

Rafale has ~70% of games of German EFT and both were added at the same time.
For contrast, 122A/PLSS which are extremely good tanks were added half a year before the BVM, but they only have a fraction of BVM’s games.

It’s hard to powercreep Rafale unless you add IIR missiles which aren’t coming soon.
