Mirage 2000 Thread : Variants, performance, characteristics and sources

May be firing 2 by 2 but my CM counter says it’s more like 20 lol

I have noticed that the M2K is now a really heavy girl after the update, especially at high alt maps like Afghanistan.

Not sure what you mean. Depending on the speed it’s either slightly less nimble or much more nimble than the previous patch. 8 missiles loadout doesn’t help it though.

Playing Afghanistan on Sim with 25mins fuel and 7 missiles and I was outmanoeuvred by an AV-8B, after bleeding speed in the turns to keep up it just had no acceleration to get that nimbleness back, this was only at 2000m.

If you had 25 min of fuel im not surprised that is an unbelievable amount to fight with its sim i understand you need the fuel but that is a heavy mirage for sure mixed with 7 missiles especially.

Didn’t help that the engagement happened right after take off, I’d dropped the pod already but still had all the internal. Pre-update though I had no issues with that amount of fuel, didn’t think the missiles would make such a difference

the parasite drag is pretty bad since we doubled our missile load

Mirage 2000s wrong flares release pattern

Pointed out to me by sniperwhg, RDY radar should soon be able to guide 4 missiles simultaneously instead of 2 only currently.

Guys is it me or Mirage2K’s roll rate has been nerfed significantly?

It rolls like a fatass bomber without ordinance at certain speeds.

But why? Mirage2K suppose to have really good roll rate even with ordinance.

F-16C with full Aim-120 loadout rolls much better, Mirage2K looks like bus compare to Viper.

How am I supposed to fly the Mirage in top tier now?

Can’t seem to get MICA to hit shit no matter what the conditions of launch are

You must be doing something wrong then.

My MICA’s have quite succesful ratio when it comes to killing enemies, even managed to get 30-40km shots on right conditions.

How the hell does the MAW work in the game? Is it watching for smoke trails only? what is the range of the cameras? It feels less than useless since it will just go off for no reason. Not sure if its really helped in any situation so far

Make sure you bind the controls to be able to turn the MAW autodropping CMs on and off. I really like the extra notifications you get, but I can’t stand the automatic deployment of CMs. I use it for the warning only and do all the CMs manually.
