[TheKayakDovah 27]

The Mirage IIIc's Matra R.530E we have in the game is missing several kilometers of range.

Screenshot from WT, current R.530E performance.

 

Flight range

The current flight range (referred to as launch range within WT) of the R.530E is 15km. This is not the historical range of the R530E however, which is 18km, as can be seen in the sources below.

Proposed solution

The author of this bug report proposes that the R530E should have its range increased to 18km, and its explosive mass increased to 27kg, The total missile weight should remain unchanged.
