whats the difference between the cs5, 4k and 5f radars if they all get mprf? they would all become essentially the same radar no?
RDY would still have some features over the RDI such as automatic waveform, longer range, and air to ground modes.
I haven’t seen anything that states RDM has MPRF.

It appears the M2KD RMV’s MFD does not display any information from the RWR. Is this intended and/or is anyone else experiencing this?
Also, were AASMs able to be carried on any of the other pylons? The one I’m particularly interested in is the pylon carrying the targeting pod. In game the PGM 500 can be used on this pylon, but it is incompatible with a PGM 2000 on the centreline hardpoint. It would be nice if we could have AASM on this pylon with the centreline PGM specifically for striking carriers.
Aware niche usecase, but another AASM would make sinking them far more consistent.
We don’t really know what the RMV MFDs display at the moment since the aircraft were put into service recently and few images have been published. However, the MFD in the top left corner should be able to display the RWR and if the central screen is still configured like the previous ones it should also be able to do so.
So normally the 2000D RMV shouldn’t even be able to carry AASM to begin with, otherwise assuming it can, the right front hardpoint is wired for laser and GPS guided weapons (the GBU-49 can be carried on this point IRL for GPS only firing or buddy lasing).
And besides, carrying PGMs makes no sense either, these weapons are not used by France and apart from the United Arab Emirates which use them on their Mirage 2000-9 no other Mirage has received them
Was it not cleared for AASM? I had seen a few images of it with them. Also PGMs are on a lot of things that just should not carry them, so assumed was the case here too, but we have them so w/e.
Well, RWR displays nothing on them when being pinged.
All the images that have been taken of Mirage 2000 with AASM for the moment were taken on the Mirage 2000N K3 n°303 of the DGA and the CEV (plane suggestion : Mirage 2000N K3 n°303 - Suggestions / Aircraft - War Thunder — official forum), it is a test aircraft which was used to carry out certain AASM firing tests (technically the AASM are in the process of being or are already integrated on the Mirage 2000 sent to Ukraine but they are 2000-5)
The AASM were never included on the Mirage 2000D for the good reason that Dassault wanted to make them exclusive to the Rafale, however a few years ago they reversed their decision but no will was shown on the part of the French army to integrate these weapons on the Mirage 2000.
Curse the French companies and their annoying decisions for my video game 😿

Yes, I noticed that, I will have to make a new bug report for the Mirage 2000 interfaces, but given the number of bug reports that have already been made but have never been changed, it will probably take time.
It’s a nice attacker but definitely some issues.
Yes, and moreover, the fact that the AASM was not integrated into the Mirage 2000D RMV is quite surprising because it is really the weapon that this aircraft is missing to make it an aircraft with a modern strike capability.

It is indeed a bit odd. Would be nice if had them integrated, the pylons would look a lot snazzier with moar of them 😿
Half of my family is in the french navy, an uncle of mine was actually an admiral for a time (left to become a consultant, the french navy doesn’t pay that well it seems) and the stories i’ve heard… The old saying that we copy no one and no one copies us probably applies to doctrine and procurement protocols too.

I can confirm, I also have high-ranking naval officers in my family and I have the impression that French industrialists make decisions that can really be surprising.
French kit is bloody wonky and strange.
But it does the job, and usually does it pretty well. Very creative answers to questions that require very little creativity.
Snazzy stuff tho. Shame we stopped getting French stuff, we’d be in a better spot 😿
And yet, we only know the surface of what has been achieved.
Just by researching informations on the French Jaguars, I came across some absolutely hilarious ideas/prototypes.
We won’t be talking about the chaff bomb, the flare parachute or the maritime version of the Jaguar.

Oh that’s nice, an uncle of mine was in charge of the Dixmude for a while, got to tour it and was invited to his quarters, that was pretty cool :)
That must have been amazing, Mistral class carrier are probably my favorite ships in the Navy, you can just do anything with them
Definitely a cool experience, I remember standing on the deck and thinking, oh man thats a loooong way down. I also remember that the ship was really hot in some areas, especially the vehicle bay, that thing was an oven my god.
