Mirage 2000 Thread : Variants, performance, characteristics and sources

How’s Mica compare to other missiles like R77 or Pl12?

micas are just better no rival tbh the tvc is just yes

Mica are modeled with AIM-120,…

sadly was hoping to see its model

Are they just copied and pasted right now?

just the visual model

Stop being sad you’ll have the real models on the live and even on devs before. Because from the looks of it this test might happen for the whole Alpha strike update

honestly wouldn’t mind it staying as an event either that or separate the matchmaker if you use fox 3s or not

Nvm just read the whole test article it is stated to last for the dev serv period for the moment may change in the future and make an apparition in live servers maybe for April Fools event. Who knows

They modeled the MICA EM exactly as what was laid out in the MICA EM report so I’m happy with the current performance. So besides the flatspin bug that occurs here and there, I don’t think there is anything that needs to be changed with the MICA EM. We just need the visual modeling to be done, as well as having the purple flames for it, and I’ll be happy.

Correct modeling of Magic 2 will still be an issue, there’s still 3 more changes left.
50G Dual plane maneuverability
Seeker-shut off IRCCM
Reduced IFOV

makes me realize how absurd the mica ir would be

Yes, to tell you the truth, the MICA EM is really more so AIM-120C territory, being able to compete in BVR with AIM-120A while also being 50G and TVC. I’d be fine getting 6x MICA IR when AIM-120D comes.

So to sum up: Is MICA doing good?

Yes, there’s currently issues with it flatspinning allegedly, even when it’s not using TVC. I haven’t personally came across this bug though.

can someone tries to show side by side how the Magic 2 is currently doing and how it does in dev server ? i’m wondering how good the change is

MICA does some R73 shenanigans when it was first added, flats-inning (very rarely). Under 15km it’s a menace, much better than all other missiles. Over 15km, we see its lack of range kicking in but still very, very usable. I’d say its the most META missile as of now
