no problem
i think i already made that point
Just imagine if you could though. FRS1 would need some pretty major buffs given it Beat the F-5E, F-15A and F-16 in dogfights IRL :D

An engine replacement due to an arms embargo proves nothing about the Mirage F1. Thats what most nations with a semi developed air force industry do. Engines break, no matter who made them or what engines they are. obviously an air force would need to change to an engine they can get a hell of a lot easier.
Italian F-104s once beat German Mig-29s in an exercise. clearly they must be buffed enough to reach that level.

oh right and before this guy tries to say that theres no clear pictures of a Mirage F1 with magic 2s…
A Czech Mig-23 with Magic 2s. Magic 1s and 2s are made to be compatible with anything that can take sidewinders… and stuff like the R-13 come from sidewinders. hell, a Mirage 3 could probably take magic 2s lol.

How failed this aircraft is IRL? An aircraft that was produced in the hundreds, was sold to 14 different airforces, continues to serve 4 airforces to this day 53 years after it’s introduction and was actively involved in most wars between the 70’s and the 90’s? You sure have some high standards for success, if you think the mirage F1 isn’t good enough for it’s time.
Like you understand that even though the south african mirage F1’s were blocked from having radar or all aspect IR missiles by international sanctions, they still weren’t shot down by the mig-23ml’s that did have them? (one was hit, but made it back to the runway - if that counted as being downed, then the F-15 doesn’t have a perfect record). And by the way, more mig-23mls were downed over angola in 2 years of combat (7), than mirage F1’s over a period of 8 years (2).
Honestly the problem here isn’t the mirage F1 or the mig-23, it’s your warped perception of reality.

The Mirage F1C-200 is not even close to IRL POOR PERFORMANCE. So here you can read more disagreement about this infamously Gaijin creation
PROVE IT
Why are you pointing to all those threads when they are arguing that the ingame mirage F1 is facing enemies that are too tough for it? They are disproving your argument that the ingame mirage F1 is too strong. If you are having a skill issue, try to watch this video and figure out what the mig-23 ml’s were doing wrong.
To quote registered_simp
That Mig-23ML should have utterly rinsed you bruh, he has almost every flight performance edge on you (Except for instant turn at high speed since he doesn’t have the MLD’s aero). He decided to contest a vertical when he had significantly less energy, then committed low without a certain shot allowing you to pull inside his turning circle, then reversed turn against someone who is already inside his control zone
Oh we can just claim stuff without proof?
ELVIS PRESLEY WAS AN ALIEN
If I remember right its radar weaponry is pulse guided and not continuous so you can literaly one chaff it.
I don’t think it’s that insane.
THEN PROVE THIS DAMNED “POOR PERFORMANCE” IRL jesus…
he cant
True but being Pulse they dont trigger RWR like CW would.
Ive started to test them in high alt BVR and so far it kinda works? As the target usually doesnt defend.
But they have range issues and they kinda depend on whenever the target is stupid enough not to realize hes being targeted so eh.
Super R530Fs arent bad, but they’re also not great. They’re just alright. Super R530Ds are just amazing in my opinion.
