imo just depends how they model the seeker but it will cause chaos of where aim9x where iris-t ect

MICA IR is a step above the Python 4, and the Python 4 isnt even in-game yet. Combine one of the best airframes with one of the best avionics packages with the best IR missiles in-game, its pretty obvious itd be busted, though limited in its missile count.
Effectively just 2 free kills when in range, and unlike the IRIS-T (w/ analogue bus limitations only) i have advocated for on the F-4F KWS LV (to make it a viable top tier instead of the balancing nightmare it is atm), the MICA IR would have more range and a much larger launch envelope, with over the shoulder shots being possible unless gaijin significantly nerfs the MICA IR.

If its Scorpion JHMCS, it should have multi-color display, not just plain green.
MICA-IR launch range for 2000D RMV will be limited by seeker lock range, at least because I didn’t find any information about Antelope-50 having datalink
The aircraft has access to Link 16 according to the government so long-range shots would be possible

In game it would effectively be a improved R-27T.
ET already might have more range. Depending how certain IR or radar guided missiles are being launched you are left without a chance to defend against them already anyway.
SU-34 will be able to carry 6 R-27ET.
Regarding 180° launches it would depend on the avionics available on Mirage 2000D RMV.
Would MICA not be a long range Magic II in game?
They only just fixed the wobbling off R-73 didn’t they?
Kfir with Derby/Darter and Python 4 would also be a good first implementation of a relatively modern IR guided missile though some seem to think it is overestimated.
Mirage 2000D RMV would be limited by having to carry a gunpod while only being able to carry 2 MICA IR of course. Adding MICA IR on a 2000D exclusively first would certainly be a reasonable entry even if that ends up being multiple patches in the future.
Remembering how Magic 2 performed on the stockgrind of Mirage F.1CT…
It used to be a guaranteed kill even during a headon if the launch range was not to high.
AIM-9M also was busted when it had been newly introduced.

Does the Mirage 2000 use the GBU-48? So far I only know one aircraft that uses it, that being the Eurofighter
from the bug report about the mirage 2000 rmv it is in use by it, so yeah i guess that is why those two gbu has been added since gbu 50 can also be used. Community Bug Reporting System
Is Gaijin used this to gives Mirage 2000D it’s Air-Air weaponnary?
that’s a Kit Model Maker Picture,… (Modelsvit)
This kit is highly innacurate. In terms of AA kit, the D RMV only uses either 2 magic 2s or 2 micas. No MICA EM, let alone 6 of them
I know… That’s why i’m asking if it’s the well documented Gaijin document they used for the current devserver M.2000D RMV.
Dev will be shut down in two and a half hours. Since yesterday’s mica em was removed, the Mirage 2000D RMV has not changed and is still at 13.7. There are no more weapons (including AASM), so what’s the difference between this and the Mirage 2000D R1 above!! Why do you want to remove mica em? Why can’t you wait until mica ir and Fox2 become popular before making changes to her!?

Even if mica ir’s suggestion is approved, I believe gaijin will definitely not be added to the game in the near future. Although there is a very small probability that he may join at the end of the year, I believe it cannot be done so quickly and can only wait indefinitely
Perhaps the previous statement was quite radical, but now facing DRMV with only two Magic 2, I can’t imagine how to use these two to fight against a bunch of Fox3 in the official version, and how difficult it is to use them to complete all the accessories
I don’t think everyone here wants the 2000D-RMV to be equipped with a MICA-EM.
