Honestly, I feel the same.
To me, it really feels like the missile own detector is confused. It often just self explode even with a full double circle lock in the first 2 s of flight or the last 5s before impact, when the lock stays strong (no notching, no ground hugging)
The new missile track camera locks onto whatever the missile is locked on, if you aren’t already you can use that as a rough debugging tool. But my guess is that the dev server has some janky tracking for radar and missiles compared to live, it’s almost impossible to hold a radar lock with the RDY for more than a couple seconds even in ideal conditions
Terribly sorry for the (very) poor quality of this recording, but I just had to show the laughable performance of this Super 530D. Getting a kill with this missile is nothing short of a miracle. At least for me.

I know dev server stuff changes yada yada yada, but I do think it seems odd that the Mirage 4000 is among the draggiest airframes at top tier until you get above 1450 tas considering the delta wing design. Bottom lines are drag curves, top is acceleration. You can see the kfir and Mirage 2000 have incredibly low drag especially above mach 1, but the 4000 is only better than the F-15 in terms of drag at high speed.

Ironically the 4000 surprised the test pilots with how little drag it had according to testimony posted here

Now that they have a climb/acceleration chart from the manual, there’s good hope they’ll rework the drag parameters

I don’t have the reliability issues with 530D that a lot of people say they’re having in this thread, but maybe I’ve just been getting lucky. I notice that you’re locked up using PD HDN: have you tried using PD instead? This is purely my experience, but I completely stopped using PD HDN on the Mirage 2K several months ago in favor of using the standard PD instead. The 530D on PD track have been pretty damn reliable for me.
yeah with a relative speed with the target of 750m/s, the HDN mod is simply not the issue here. IMO, the 530 seeker just does not pick up the targets correctly when launched, and then the profuse is also finicky just before it hit the target

Fair enough. Like I said, I haven’t touched the HDN mode in a while and the 530D on PD haven’t really felt weak to me. But that’s also just like, my experience which could just be a fluke.
Guys, M4000 loadout have been updated.
We got RDM-3 and 530D!!!
plus, engine have been changed to M53-P2.

yeah, but still better than just having super 530f
It’s acceptable. let’s think it was tradeoff.
what is now the thrust with the upgrades?
Oh i see, still a buff atleast
