Got any source for that?
Mine all say it’s a monopulse radar…
AI overview? Seriously?

No. But in the end all sources that i have, which state it was a pulse doppler with terrain following will state exactly the same. Unfortunately, looks like GJ has not accepted it as a source.
I sent them a video, from the Mirage training, which explain the TARAN in very detail. No joy.
Its clearly explaind, in german, that we have a/a (guns/missile) and a/g (rockets/bombs) hud. Not implemented.
I highly doubt that GJ goes away from their double standards, implementing things on one aircraft which they have clearly on internet sources, while not implementing things even if they have video and documents showing it.
In short, the F18 has more ground ordenance and wrong weaponry for balancing and the Mirage3S does not get the correct radar operation.
Which video is that? I still have found no confirmation of the TARAN being anything else than monopulse.

I saw a document which explains TARAN bein Pulse Doppler radar but sadly i dont remember where i saw it.

The video will not confirm the PD, but show how the lock on process and symbology of the radar works in conjunction with the Falcon missile.
With regards to the ballistic computer. Its confirmed but we got gaijined
Translation is the Fire Control computer calculate the trigger point for air, ground and guns
This document is in possession of GJ. The do nothing with it.

Not the Mirage, but the RWR on the Swiss F-5E was changed to AN/ALR-87 (same as the Mirage)

Wow, one bug report fixed
Two. My RWR one and the one with the not correctly working minimap compass, both are fixed…

Recently got confirmation the CM drop pattern is luckily working on this aircraft, yet the Swiss F-5E with the exact same CM dispenser still has the drop pattern bug other F-5s do, lmao. Gaijin sure is strange…
Rejected - Not a bug
From the snippets of the source it sounds like CCRP, but as the mod says they need more info…
on a sidenote: from what I saw is that the Mirage should have a lead indicator for the Falcon missiles

Yes, saw it, but I don’t agree with the argumentation.
I’ll try to work something out, and explain better. The screenshots of the manual the tech mod attached for me for example already prove that also the guns have EEGS.
I’ll collect more info and open up a new bug report, also regarding CCRP…
Btw, talked to my dad yesterday who was radar specialist in the Swiss Air Force in the seventies. He was mainly working on the Bristol BL-64 Bloodhound SAM, but also a bit on the TARAN, and he also says the TARAN was not a PD radar.
As to when PD radars became a thing for fighter aircraft, one finds notes of the Kfir and Phantom II as first examples, with only about 1974 as year where the fighter-borne PD radars became practicable and operational -so quite a bit after the Mirage III got the TARAN…
Still looking desperately for volume 2 of the MIRO’s pilot manual, which covers the whole TARAN system in detail…

Something that puzzles me is why the moderator brought up EEGS. I never mentioned anything relating to EEGS in the report.
You didn’t explicitly, yes, only ballistic computer for guns in general.
What puzzles me is that the reference the mod brought is as proof against ballistic computer actually confirms or at least implies a kind of EEGS for the guns:
Darstellung der Steuerbefehle = Display of controlls commands
Vorhalte Verfolgung = Lead tracking
Radarschirm und Zielgerät = Radar screen and sight
…so the system should be able to compute lead for the canons and display it on both radar screen and in the sight…
Thats OK. I found a section that does mostlikely confirm monopulse.

Typical GJ denials. But the document from 1969, confirmed in varios sections that the Mirage IIIS was the first aircraft in Europe to have a ballistic a/g computer. And its is written very clearly that the system tells the pilot when to push the trigger for weapon release and that the impact point of the bomb is calculated automatically.
In other words it has CCRP (Das auslösen erfolgt automatisch, same. Balistic computer calculates the time of the release) and CCIP (“optische Signals”, means nothing else).
