Literally, unironically me lmao
Meh.
If F-4 and MiG-23 players would stop dogfighting anything and everything while instead making good use of their radar guided missiles or even IR guided missiles from time to time M2KD would not feel quite as much as an air superiority fighter as it does in a downtier.
Believe it or not for any aircraft not equipped with R-27ER or active radar guided missiles a AIM-7F or R-24R can be quite the nuisance.

Magic II and R-73 certainly are not 1 flare missiles if launched properly.
At 13.7 Mirage 2000D RMV with 2 MICA IR would be lovley.

Experience using Magic II on the Jaguar IS and Mirage F1C-200. 1 tap flare when used in any other condition other than direct rear and within 1-1.5km.
And heck, even had a F-20 take a direct impact by one and suffer no damage at all
Damage models are a entirely different discussion.
Magic II is much more reliable than what you make it out to be from my experience.
What you are describing might be AIM-9L territory.
F-5 which you will likely face a lot do of course have a different heat signature in game.
Well, Yeah, i’ve had an F-5 1 tap flare an Aim-9M when on full reheat in rear aspect at a range of about 2km. Their heat sigs are broken
My experience using them on something Mirage F1 against Mig-23MLs in Sim. Unless its a rear-aspect shot. Its 1 tap flare defeat. Same is the case for most IRCCM missiles in my experience. In anything other than rear-aspect. The IRCCM does nothing. Aim-9Ms are often easily defeated with a few flare drops when fired front aspect as well
SIM might be different in average launch ranges and the tragets you are firing at of course.
I usually play RB where you face many hot machines as a western aircraft.
2 km are a bit to ambitious against an F-5 of course.
Was in a Harrier Gr7, was as close as I could get.
AIM-9M is a different missile of course. Depending on the relative speed it might even have been kinematically defeated. Even so in rear aspect AIM-9M does not like being launched on longer ranges if the target is aware and defending.
So the F-117 RCS has been buffed (as it should), but what is the status of the heat signature?
Flying in a straight line on AB and dropping a flare is considered defending is quite scary. But I just blame it on the F-5 being the coldest known thing in the universe. vs most other targets that would have been a killshot without further effort from them to defend
He was aware and yes if you drop a single flare that is considered defending. No matter if it works or not.
Perhaps he knew about the range and speed difference and dropped a single flare to make sure, hm?
The heat signature is a problem of course. I’d wager the range was even more so in that situation.
Can we expect a Mirage 2000D RMV blog today?
You don’t have to answer directly. Which represents the situation best, croissant or baguette?

Irl issue not much can be done than just wait. Current patch is more of a QOL one anyway. Next update we’ll be eating good

I think one of the leaks said EF coming next year so if German mains get their top tier fighter next patch it’ll have to be an F/A-18.
Either way, if it comes along with a juicy rank 8 premium then I might be a German main in no time ;)
Id doubt another German Premium aircraft following the one they are getting this major.
My money would be on Italy, Israel and France to get Rank 8 Premiums next update
premium spanish av8b plus for italy

its possible.
Now we’re talking.
Realistically I’d expect the Turkish F-4 AMRAAMs slinger. Or didn’t they have that?
