Why does the rafale keep receiving buffs every update?

Didnt even get that much. Still doesnt have it 9 months on.

For the first 6 months EFT had the second weakest M-Scan at high BR. For the first 1-2 months it was weaker than its predecessor the Blue Vixen by quite a margin.

We’ve only had something half worthy of top tier since late July and its still massively underperforming. given should be more comprable to early PESA than the current M-Scans that it can just about compete with

cant it use R darters ?

What?

No, the EFT never used R-Darters.

so britain doenst have a domestic FOX-3 for them ?

Aim-120B, Aim-120C5 and Meteor are the main BVRAAMs Fox-3s we operate(d) on our aircraft. SkyFlash Active was cosnidered, but wasnt considered worth developing. Was just cheaper to buy Aim-120Bs for the Tornado F3 and Sea Harrier FA2.

(F-35 I think also has some later AMRAAM variants whilst the Americans drag their feet with Meteor intergration)

Britain did develop the ASRAAM though

Tbf, there isnt really a need for a poll, all it shows is how many Rafale mains voted vs all other players, so its not a big deal if the Rafale mains throw a hissy fit and flag it again

well the side of it being OP was wingin by a wide margin

meteor isnt that IR ?

when it comes to modern jets the Rafale fanboys are one hell of an obnoxious force too.

Meteor is a BVR Radar missile

Youre probs getting mixed up with ASRAAM

No. Its an Aim-120D equivalent

Ramjet, with (officially) a LSZ of 60km+ and a max range of 120km+ (though some evidence for more like 200km+)

cuz theres less Rafale mains than there are other players, particularly in a thread that would be perceived as “negative” towards the Rafale. They also tend to stay in threads they made and clump together to control the narrative of their echo chambers.

Visit one of the “Rafale/MICA needs a buff!!!” threads and there’s more yes’ than no’s in the poll results, or bisit the main Rafale/MICA thread and any poll that gets put up comes out with results widely in favour of the Rafale (if they even bothered to put any answers that would be perceived as “negative” to the Rafale at all) cuz the Rafale mains are out there in full force trying to get gaijin to do what they want and control the narrative otherwise.

is it to advanced to be added right now i cant stand the fact that the 120 C5 cant pull more AOA than 30G for close range engagements

Probably. If nothing else maps are too small.

What we need for the EFT is:

  • CAPTOR-E
  • PIRATE overhaul
  • Brimstone 2/Spear-3/Spear-Glide/Spice-250s
  • ASRAAM/IRIS-T
  • Buffed FM
  • BOL Overhaul
  • (Striker II would be nice)

We have at least 1 mod pushing for changes hard. But the Devs seem to be dragging their feet on a number of critical changes that render the EFT rather underpowered (P-Track, BOL, Brimstones)

More of a dev problem than a mod problem it seems. EFT bug reports get passed (when not intercepted by some people with less than good intentions), they just tend to sit as accepted without getting actionned for long period of time.

When bugs do get fixed for the EFT, they tend to be small things, like minor visual changes few if any ppl notice, contrary to the Rafale which has its bug reports fixed very quickly by the games standards, and who’s bug fixes tend to be on the side of major performance improvements as well.
