I got that
Spoiler
The antenna is supposed to be wider than it is tall
Actually it’s the inverse. It’s not tilted to the side, but to the bottom
This is also an antilope apparently, but it’s not the same as yours exactly, so the exact variant could be different

Yes it is possible, the radar has apparently changed quite a bit over the years
Otherwise, a quick question: is Forecast International considered a reliable source? I found one of their articles that talks about the capabilities of the Antelope5.
Microsoft Word - rs5767.doc
The radar would have been improved many times but the documents are confidential and I have no information apart from their names (Antilope 5, 5-3C, 53C, 53C/D, 5-3D, 50 and 5 TC)
would check out, as the photo mentions 5 TC and not the normal 5, prob the one which @Mathll send is the basic ANTILOPE 5, and the one on your photo is 5 TC.

Antilope 5 TC:
Spoiler
No, It is not considered a reliable source.
Considering the RMV is the most modern 2000D in service, wouldn’t any source about the « best » radar be used for the RMV (such as the V TC instead of the regular V) ?

@WaretaGarasu Can Forecast International be considered a reliable source?
I have this document that announces possible radar modes :
Microsoft Word - rs5767.doc
"A number of secondary
capabilities complementary to the delivery mission exist,
including air-to-air search, air-to-air tracking, air-to-air
combat, air-to-surface search, air-to-surface tracking and
air-to-surface ranging. "

My bad, didn’t see your previous answer

my S4 cries in so much pain
meanwhile this site cannot be considered source, and doesnt even list radar modes for the antilope radar sets, i find it interesting that it mentions that the 2000N carries antilope 5, and 2000D carries antilope 53c.
also while digging around, on polish wiki (of all places lol, and i know this isnt even reputable source) also lists antilope 5 as the 2000N radar, and antilope 50 as a 2000D radar
ill prolly check out the sources on polish wiki, might even find something there.
i think the lead of 2kN carrying Antilope 5, and 2kD carrying antilope 50, might lead somewhere.
From a Mirage 2000 Brochure
Mirage 2000D-RMV may use Antilope 50, but sources are needed for it.

this book lists the antilope 53c/d as the radar sets fitted on the m2kD as soon as the prototype conversions go, the D 01 and D 02, also lists 2000D R1 with Antilope 53C radar set.
The radar would have been improved many times but the documents are confidential and I have no information apart from their names (Antilope 5, 5-3C, 53C, 53C/D, 5-3D, 50 and 5 TC)
this would also fit to the mathll information about the antilope radars.
The RPL541/542 drop tank report passed, will it be added in this update?
I checked Assetviewer and still no updated textures.
I honestly don’t understand why the model isn’t added to the game when it’s already complete.

For information to those who are doing research on the radar, the “TC” means Telemetry-Mapping (Télémétrie-Cartographie), it is an update of the Telemetry and Mapping capabilities of the basic radar.
For the Air-Air mode, according to a pilot of a first generation 2000D only the ACM was available, the only use of this mode was to lock the tanker to navigate in bad weather or night. According to the testimony of an OSA, the guidance was done much more often thanks to the TGP than thanks to the radar because of the weak performances of the Antelope 5.
do you have any information about antilope 50 or 53 c and d models? whats their capability
I feel like this is just update numbering, with Antelope 5 being the initial one.
From what I have read, the Antelope 50 would have been an export version of the Antelope 5, except that as the 2000D and N were never exported the radar was never produced in large quantities (maybe put on some 2000D?), the final version of the radar would be the Antelope 5 TC which improves its primary air-ground detection capabilities.
Everything I say here should be taken with a pinch of salt because I can’t prove anything, not all sources agree on the versions and the pilots/OSA who talk about it remain vague on the subject, the information being always more or less classified
eh, i’ve scattered through a lot of sources, and a lot of forums, and with the fact that the 2000D/N was never exported(other then the few legendary mirage 2000S’s were been spotted), its hard to find a evidence of antilope 50 or 53 even existing, other then the book which i found called “Dassault Mirage 2000 Variant Briefing” which is pre RMV era book which mentions that the R1 production series and up had antilope 53c, and best case scenario that can be used as a secondary source as the book still goes in great detail, but even that doesnt mention A-A capability of the Antelope radar set.
I think best we can do is accept that 2k D doesnt have a2a mode
