Mirage 2000 Thread : Variants, performance, characteristics and sources

Never affirmed that it’s possible, only that it’s plausible. Far too nuanced I’m sure.

Community Bug Reporting System they marked the mirage 4000 acceleration as fixed has anyone tested it or is it coming tomorrow

Also, Meteor is probably even more of a gap from the MICA than the MICA is to early AMRAAMS. And both the gripen and mirage are light fighters.
I would think that AIM120D equivalent for light aircrafts (to which the MICA might be comparable, with different strengths), while heavy fighter would be receiving earlier C variants equivalents would make a lot of sense to me

That change was implemented before the live update. Another one should come soon because of another report.

So I have tested in Test Flight, it still can’t reach its rip speed at sea level

However, at altitude, the aircraft now accelerate much better although as not fast as M2K

Thanks @Zayf I hope more of your report will be labeled as fixed by Gaijin.

I decided to compare the stable turn time of all new aircraft (hold S and wait for the speed to stabilize). After the nerf to Jas39, mirage 4000 looks very good. But in WTRTI the angular velocity jumps from 16.5 to 18.5deg/s. I think the real value will be somewhere in between. Also on the right I indicated the angular density and overload when turning at a speed of 1000 km/h. Unfortunately, I was unable to make more than 10G…

@RideR2 is diligently at work doing sustained turn rate charts for all the new top tiers here.

I know this is besides your point, but the first fighter to receive high performing all aspect IR missiles was the Italians in the F-104S ASA.

But same principle and for same reasoning to your point.

Anyway. I screwed up not getting the 4k first. I love this jet and they put in the Desert camo?! You did not remind me!?!

I thought it was possible to carry more flares on this thing. Bel can it or nah? Thats my only complaint so far.

Other than that, I actually like the lack of HMD. Since the jet already has the nose authority to put a nose on a target it becomes a hinderance.

Unfortunatley for Gaijin convenience Mirage 4000 is going to be the first plane to suffer the “waiting till the separate flare/chaff compartments” are added. Meaning that Flare ammount of Mirage 4000 is technically correct as you can count 112 cartridges in the flare compartments (Bottom of CM Pods) the rest of CMs, which are only chaffs; will be added later when Chaff/Falre separate drop is added. And technically that means waiting until Fox3 so either in 3 or 6 months. For now 112 CMs is final.

Thanks for the info! Makes sense.

Have not been following much on the 4k are we missing anything else in terms of flight performance? I do feel acceleration can be a little better. But that’s just me.

Ah, that’s correct.

20 Minutes of fuel with 8x Matra Magics. Pulling no Gs or whatsover, rolling the aircraft above mach 1 causues one of the wings to declare its independence and flyoff. can you guys also replicate the issue? Could be placebo but i don’t remember this happening two to three days ago…

Yeah. Started happening to me, strangely enough.

I do not have the 4000 but I experienced this same exact problem with practically every single top tier aircraft in the game. Might be some spagetti code or something.

I actually think this is the most visually appealing aircraft besides the Flanker this patch. It is definitely much more fun to fly.

AB: Mirage 4000: OK for 12.3

but,
AB: Mirage 2000-5F with 12.0 is too high,
maybe 11.7 should be more appropriated. it wouldnt change much for MM but thats what BR are made of ?!

Difference in efficiency between 4000 & 2000 is huge. Certainly more than a 0.3 difference (more a 1.0)

around [4-10] kills/battle for 4000
around [0 -2] kills/battle for 2000

And… Little issue with 4000: cant jettison bombs & missiles

The 4000 was only “planned” to use the next gen aam (MICA) but given this project was scrapped before the MICA was even made, I would doubt it. It would be hilarious if it were possible since it would carry fully twice the amount the Rafale does, albeit with a worse sensor suite.

But the Mirage 4000 was not technically scrapped iirc it entered service albeit as a test bed. But official French Air Force service in a test squadron, no?

Being that it was in service at the time of the MICA and technically possible. Can it be given?

Or am I just begging at this point?
