I had hoped the same but I can see why they left it out for now. Disappointing but understandable.
At 13.7 or after some more decompression 2 MICA IR likely would not be gamebreaking. It wiuld likely have some limits regarding tracking range etc. be it due to balance or limitations in the game.
There’s nothing left after MICA-IR for France. If you were to add it now gimped you would affect many future and current vehicles that could get this missile. Just imagine Rafale with gimped MICA-IR against EFT with IRIS-T or F-15IA with Python 5. Also consider that we haven’t even received Python 4 yet.
Mirage 2000D RMV will be in a much better place with Magic 2 than with MICA-IR.
Following this logic, we shouldn’t have magic 2 as it is gimped. Implementing these types of missiles on attackers with limited aams is a significantly easier way to see if they’re balanced or not. It would also make it easier to get the game ready for these types of missiles.
Especially if they plan on bringing these aircraft in within the next 6 months. Significantly better to start early.
Israeli mains after gaijin isn’t adding top tier spaa for 2 years now i think
If we were to do that 5F would lose a lot of its features. 6 missles max, only outer Magic 2, no A2G at all, no HMD… it would fall behind top tier meta.
No AASMs? Disappointment!
Subject to change
From what I’ve read, it would have HMD. The missile count would still be workable, and killing off the ground ordnance is literally what I am suggesting to make 2000D RMV half worth using. Doubt that would be a popular change, but I’ve not been particularly in favour of the 5F’s air to ground ordnance.
I’d say fingers crossed for next update, but i predict we’ll get Sabra Mk II in December update and Sabra Mk III in March update lol.
i mean, the last time sweeden and france got theirs was in red skies in 2021
Hello. I was reading the 2000D RMV Devblog and had a question that I wanted to ask you
Are the “advanced missiles” in the picture referring to the PGM IIR’s?
what could it bring?
In this case I’d like a Russian airframe for a NATO member because it’s been operated there for 20 years now right?
No it’s just that the devblog was done 2 weeks ago and that the plane had MiCA EM xD
Don’t shoot the messenger :(
Above all, Gaijin mixed the M2K -5 / -9 and -5 mk2 in the same plane
If I were to be pedantic, Israel has never at any point in it’s time in Warthunder been given a ‘top tier’ AA.
Machbet and Chaparral were always beneath that in both BR and rank terms.
EL2032/M radar which is GMTI capable, digital RWR, the option to mount PT3/4 and R-73Es, but I am actually not sure what CAS abilities it enhanced.
Fair egnuth, however that was not how it was said, altho you can say that israel havent realy ever had a toptier SPAA dependent on how you look at it, i would tho rather say that israel does realy lack a 12.0-11.0 SPAA
Just to check…
@Smin1080p_WT The new airfields have been fully integrated into the modular airfields found in EC right?
The dev-blog mentions new buildings and just wondering how these are included into the existing system.
The first aircraft with next gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile ?
My guess
