War Thunder "Line of Contact" - Changelog

the Rafale has been the best jet in the game for almost a year, does it really matter if its slightly worse then the literal newest additions (if anything this is more proof we should have had an earlier version then the F3R)

It depends, should balance today take into account past performance in an almost vengeful sort of view of “it dominated for the past year so it should suffer for a few months first”?

  1. The rafale can simply multipath to under 10km range(top down not possible) and beat the su30sm2 9/10 times as I have tested with some skilled pilots.

  2. That is simply a lie, the rafale has the best fire and forget missile in the game, while the su30sm2 has to individually guide the r27er in if it wants to use a chaff resistant missile(like mica is).

A f15 with MRML racks is never beating a rafale in a 1v1 lmao, its only going to make its winrate rise slightly from a measly 45%

Ah yes, the F-18 lawnmower strategy, if you have to really resort to that then there’s no point in continuing the conversation cause I could devolve the conversation into, “well Gripen/EFT would beat the Rafale that way”.

Certain maps are not consistent to multipath in. In actual 1v1 medium range missile jousting, the Rafale loses.

I’m not a pro-player but there are some that I trust their opinion. And for instance, viridiano’s opinion is that the Su-30SM2 wins in both category (1v1 missile jousting and teams vs teams random air rb). The Su-30SM2 wins out against the Rafale in both scenarios competitively, while I would admit the Rafale would win if the merge occurs.

Greater accurate RWR implementation for the Rafale would not change the Su-30SM2’s advantages in both of the above scenarios, but would allow the Rafale to have more situational awareness.

Yeah, rewarc talks a lot, but evidently doesn’t know a lot

No, jas39 and eft would not win there because they have amraams, not mica. A rafale can just pitch up and kill you by spamming mica. If you dont know how to play your plane to your advantages you have a skill issue.

Well I am a pro player and the rafale does have the advantage on multitargeting. This is simply due to the mica seeker being chaff resistant enough that they dont need datalink to survive countermeassures.
A su30sm2 needs to guide a a r27er one by one if it wants a chaff resistant option. Or launch multiple r771 and accept that they will likely be chaffed.
A rafale with mica does not need to make this compromise it has a chaff resistant fire and forget missile.

Oh the spam is real. Tho people at this BR are clueless of where to shoot this thing

30mm bishmaster is worthless damage to the BMPT belt is too inconsistent ill just never both playing 10.x with a 30mm ifv until it gets buffed or the BMPT goes to its correct BR

I was talking about MBTs mainly

I mean 105’s still struggle but its a spalling thing, drivers port is too inconsistent imo same with lower front plate, ive had maybe 6/10 shots only take a fuel tank or the electronics

Its situational but you can go for the front wheel if they angle just a little bit to show the side

Yeah ill just stick to abusing CAS at that BR since i cant enjoy the 30mm bushmaster or clubbing idiots who bring the BMPT to 12.7 lmao, seriously ive been eating them alive with the T80’s

Why hurt me in such way image

I like doing suppression fire with it at higher BRs. Its very effective in that role which is pretty unique for the game

Because its a busted vehicle lol

Wish japan top tier air had top tier japanese aircrafts…

It has F2 though

13.7 and only 4 radar missles? Oh yeah it can hold out against a su30sm2 no problem.

When did these get a nerf?
