Mirage 2000 Thread : Variants, performance, characteristics and sources

Now your lying

Now you’re coping

And reliability problems aren’t gonna be modeled in Warthunder. F-15 radar in-game is already struggling with competing against the RDY radar on the Mirage 2000-5F. I’m not sure why you’d think that RBE2 PESA is gonna have any problem competing.

Sekrit Documents hm?
Assuming you would actually have access and even mention such access in a god damn forum, which you likely wouldn’t, especially we are talking about aircraft and not grunts put into a tank if you allow me that jab, who tells you that there are not sekrit documents on the other side of things as well?

No offense but some Rafale fans are about as reaonable as the clishé F-35 fanboy.

speak for yourself

Coming from someone that went into a French thread to brag about Typhoon i take this as coping. Mertral wouldn’t be as bad as you.

The ones who knows knows

Thats not a 90s F15C radar in game

Most of the Radars from last update where rushed

I did not brag at all.
I was all about aesthetics before the topic shifted.

Either way people on a forum talking about sekrit knowledge either lie or are most unprofessional and in validation of multiple contracts and laws.

As far as information goes a newly developed radar is likely superior to one that is receiving software upgardes, just like F-15EX probably fields the most powerful radar in service curently.

That there are upsides or downsides to certain radars regarding ‘‘features’’ sure but that is not enough of a basis to claim absolute superiority compared to radars that are still being developed.

Just so you know RDY has been rushed and lacks way more modes and performances than any other radar in game + it is bugged

Even if correctly modeled, as well as for RDY, F-15 radar would be a bit more in range, and have RCS assessment as a feature while the RDY would have automatic waveform as a feature which imo is superior. So even a correctly modeled F-15 radar is a sidegrade to RDY on Mirage 2000-5, not superior.

Like i said they are all rushed

Gripens Radar is a copy and paste from the F16D which it shouldn’t

The Rafales PESA was not better than the 63(v)2 AESA radar which equipped F-15Cs in the late 90s.

Any proof that it equipped that radar in the 90s? In fact, apparently the decision to equip those aircrafts with the AESA radar was made in December of 1999, so it wouldn’t qualify.

https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/ac/docs/n19991208_992202.htm

The first AN/APG-63(V)2 were delivered to the Air Force in december 2000. (V)3 was delivered in prototype stage in 2006 while 23 F-15C where equpped with it in 2008.

The last of the v2’s were delivered in December 2000, not the first.

That was when the decision was made for it to be issued on a tactical level. That means it has to do its flight testing and validation prior, therefore qualifying it as 90s.

Then is there any proof of it being equipped on an F-15 in the 90’s?

From the article, “Eighteen F-15C aircraft will be modified with an APG-63(v)2 active electronically scanned array radar using APG-63(v)1 radar components.”

This suggests no F-15C at that point had been modified with the radar.

Making statements such as " X radar is better than Y radar" without data is pretty useless…

Additionally I believe there is a dedicated Rafale thread if anyone has technical data on the Rafale radar it would be a good place to post it for the future addition of the Rafale to WT

Correct 18 F-15Cs, a squadron, will be operationally capable by the end of December 2000. That is the only definitive I have found. However, knowing what we know about how US procurement, R&D, T&E given they announced this decision in December of '99, they had to have equipped F-15s prior to 2000 for testing and flight validation
