People can come and whine and be completely off topic, and nothing happens, but when you point it out you’re instantly hidden (although this one stayed for quite some time until specific people came to talk in this thread, so it gives a picture of who makes those report). You get used to it.
Not all people decide to not abuse the report button.

As I said, I don’t think there will be parity (aside from the radar), because they have such different armement. Only maybe the British EFT could come close to the playstyle of the rafale with the ASRAAM.
Also, and no disrespect here, but the problems with the EFT is not really our problem. We talk about the MICA in this thread (unless some people comes and detail everything, as usual).
If you have issues with the EFT being nerfed, discuss it with TMs. They often can bump report with the devs.
Coming and whine about the EFT in French, rafale (or rafale related equipment) threads only use is to create conflicts. You are not ever going to make things improve on your side this way, as you should have realized after the Xth time doing it in the past few months.

Anyway, @Surbaissemaxxing do you thing there could be a cleanup of the thread ? It’s clear it’s completely off topic and it’s not going to get better any time soon
If my comment gets deleted because I point out off topic comments, I’d rather see a moderator, at least I’m « En règles », doing things correctly.

The issue is that the MICA have gotten 2 rather major buffs since their introduction and the AMRAAM has only gotten a few minor nerfs. Despite just as many reports outstanding for the AMRAAM.
MICA is without a doubt the best ARH in game, but AMRAAM is denied buffs" because it has the longest range" its really annoying.
Like im all for the MICA getitng a range buff if Aim-120C5 and equivalents are added to ALL top tier aircraft. But if MICA EM gets buffed to fight F-15Es, but the Typhoon doesnt get AIm-120C5s (like the US mains dont want it too get) then that would really really suck.
It’s overperforming in the sense that it’s statistically doing much better than the other 14.0 planes.
This argument also sabotages your request for a MICA buff though, because if the Rafale and it’s loadout fit the meta so perfectly, then there is no need to further buff it for the time being.

And Smin basically just denied MICA EM buffs and Aim-120C5s for the Typhoon because of player stats. (Though I wonder how many F-15Es just J’ed out or died trying to bomb which screwed the data, they do it all the time in SB)

Take a look at the ground kills per game played for each of the top tiers, fact is F-15E blows past the rest of the top tiers in terms of this ratio. F-15Es are focusing on ground pounding and thus serve themselves up as easy meals.

You still haven’t answered my question. When should the MICA EM get its reports actioned on, when Typhoon gets AIM-120C? When AIM-120D is added? When exactly? Easy to say “when it stops overperforming” but you don’t give any concrete answers.
When it’s statistically in line with the top tier jets from other nations. Which it clearly isn’t.

How dare Rafale players be good! They should be as bad as American mains!
To be clear here, your stance is that even if F-15E and F-18C gets AIM-120D, then the Rafale can’t get fixed MICA if it still is performing better statistically. That’s what that stance indicates.

It’s Gaijin’s stance, has been for years. The whole AIM-120C-5 situation shows this again.
No matter how much the French mains cope, there just aren’t enough of them to change that.
Then you’re not reading it properly, I specifically asked for personal stances, not what Gaijin’s stance is.
I somewhat share Gaijins stance, just not as extreme. If the Rafale is already dominant it’s not smart to buff it even further.
Unless you just want to go back to the ways of old, where repair costs were used to balance statistics. This would mean buffing the MICA and slapping a 30-50k repair cost on it, but I’m not sure if that is the preferable way.
Great but the response is still waffling. It’s not clear or concrete. Would you support having fixed MICA EM if Typhoon gets the C5? What if statistics still show Rafale dominating when Typhoon gets C5? What if statistics still show Rafale dominating if F-15Es get AIM-120D. Please don’t evade the questions and give non-answers. At what point in these scenarios do we overrule statistics?

If the other planes get buffs and the gap in stats still remains as large as it is? No I wouldn’t support.
If the other planes get buffs and the gap in stats narrows? Sure I’d fully support the buffs.
Okay, I appreciate your honesty. Your stance is a rare one which is statistics above all else.

Oh ok so what you’re saying is the Rafale isn’t overperforming (it 100% is and everyone knows it), it’s missile being good at HOB is what makes it perform so well.
Then you don’t need the range buff. It was never about the range buff.
We both know that’s not true. The radar, flightmodel, and ARH missile count are massive differences.
When the powercreep subsides and it faces planes that have similar capabiliies. This is not a new concept.
You can’t keep making this argument over and over again when France 14.0 has the highest winrate of any BR.
