Super 530 is worse than ever. Combined with the lack of a normal PD mode it is surprisignly ‘‘difficult’’ to stay on top of things.

MICA missile missing some kinetic energy
Currently in a vertical launch situation, the MICA missile is only capable of doing Mach 2.54 when it should be able to do Mach 3. Also, at 13km away, the MICA missile drops to a speed of about Mach 0.84, when it should be ~Mach 1.25. This shows that the missile is missing roughly Mach 0.4-0.5 in speed. Further reduction of drag may be necessary.
Thanks to dedale and Ice-IX for their help.

İt’s the same for R-77, the only missile that is allowed to have competitive range is Aim-120 right now (no surprise here)
I hope gaijin fixes the MİCA and R-77, I’m so close to unlocking mirage 2000F

Ok thanks
I have to say I haven’t played much since the update (as you can see on my profile lol), with a few games in the M2K and no dogfights so I really don’t know how the mirage 2000 handles against f16s at low speed.
Thanks for the info. I was expecting that the better energy retention at higher speed would actually benefit the M2K against a f16 more than the nerf at lower speed would impact it.
Anyway, the mirage 2000 is still good enough in about every metric, from FM to armement that I still consider it one of the best jet in game, better than the su27sm, all the f16s, and on par with the f15c. But that’s a completely personal (and biased) opinion

Still nothing on the countermeasure count/pattern issues?
As i understood it’s fixed at least for the count for most mirage just we have big countermeasures that is why there are fewer, tho still mirage 4000 missing a lot, except if they changed really recently
It is not fixed. The reports are still open according to Smin.

MICA EM is missing over-the-shoulder capability
Currently when you shoot a target going past you, the missile will lose lock instead of properly doing a 180 degree maneuver to chase the target.
This should also theoretically allow the MICA missile to come back and retarget an aircraft in a dogfight if it misses the target the first time.

Not sure on how it performs with the instructor (which sadly.is usually what people are interested in). But reduced to the FM alone the M2K seems to be excellent in a dogfight. I was able to completely dominate a F-15 even though i lost soght of it for a while.
I just learned about the Mirage 2000D RMV. How will that be an improvement over the R1? I wonder if this will be the latest aircraft model in the game. I hope they add this soon.
Mostly a bit better armament, with MICA IR and AASM

did the mirage 2000s have anything like ARMs? I’m having trouble killing pantsirs at range since they can just shoot down pgms, any tips aswell?
The jaguar can take the martel never equipped
on the 2000
Theoretically they can just shoot down ARMs too. There’s GPS Paveways that Mirage 2000s can use. Imagine Paveways that have GPS plus datalink, so you can just drop it at a specific location since most Pantsirs are stationary, and then you can update the position of the targeting location through targeting pod if need be, otherwise you’d be free to disengage rather than continuing to lase. And its particularly difficult to shoot down Paveways. But currently GPS Paveways aren’t an addition at the moment even though it would fit onto many NATO aircrafts at top tier. GPS Paveways should be the next step in countering SAMs.
do we have a manual page on what ordinance the 2000-5’s could take? I imagine the next step in countering sams would be chunkier air to surface missiles like scalps (would work the same was as gps paveways) or ARHs
