ah you’re probably right
gaijin doesn’t like france much i suppose
There are really few French pilots). I’m playing, I’m the only m2k in the team, and the French players are flying f16))
ive always wanted to play the Meshupar in sim but the fact its HUD is all sorts of messed up stopped me from playing it. now that the Ra’am is in the game i was hoping it would have more features on its HUD, turns out they forgot the switch the Ra’ams HUD so now its stuck with the F-15A/C HUD. i also checked the F-15E’s HUD and it still doesnt have a ranging number despite being the new HUD :sob:

GAIJIN even forgets its own models and data.
Glad you like it, for my experience, the J-10A is like the old Mirage 2000 but with more drag and weaker top speed.
MICA is good, but you can’t use it in close quarter like R-73, because it’s too fast.
that suprises me to be honest since I personally think the F16AM’s radar is garbage, especially with the lack of a radar HMS mode
It gets scary when I realize how formidable rafale will be. It is very doubtful that J10C and j16 will be able to oppose him with something.
The lack of HMS is why I like the F-16AM and am going for it.
If i could disable the HMS of my jets I would, cause outside a few edge cases once every hundred battles, it’s more of a hindrance.
Yes, Les Chevaliers du Ciel (The Knights of the Sky) is one of my reason to play Mirage 2000, it is a beautiful movie although the plot are really forced out. For me, it’s still hold one of the best dogfight scene in any aircraft themed movie.
Either way, in my opinion, the internal fuel of Mirage 2000 alone is enough to carry the whole match of Air RB since most of Air RB match only last maximum 10 minutes. Mirage 2000 has one of the most fuel efficient engine in the game, you don’t really have to bring 34 minutes fuel because it will make the wing heavier. For me, I’m mostly bringing 25 minutes of fuel, with expectation of burning the first 5 minutes fuel to get into battlefield sooner, then keeping my fuel by controlling the afterburner.
You will get a decent maneuverability but also a good energy retention if you manage keep your fuel under 20 minutes, more than that will make the aircraft fly like a brick since the new FM update.
Im excited for the typhoon though, since if gaijin models its hud properly and doesnt wait 2 years (shoutout the tornados) then It’ll give the same info the m2k does, aswell as the info the gripens hud does, so it’ll be the best of both worlds
the m2k also needs its proper hmd instead of the russian placeholder circle
im sure what its supposed to look like has been posted here before but I cant find it

I don’t know if the drag or the thrust power of J-10 are accurate, but one of the drawback I feel about the J-10 is its drag, the average top speed at sea level is around 1300-1350 km/h, hell, that’s a F-4 Phantom level of top speed, even Gripen still can fly faster than that. But other than that, I think J-10 still excels in 1v1 scenario, since its wing slats can deploy at any speed. Meanwhile the Mirage 2000 wing slats now only deploy under 850 km/h iirc.
It’s the TopSight HMD, afaik, the Tiger UHT also shared the same HMD like Mirage 2000. But iirc, @vizender said that the TopSight HMD is currently bugged or something (?)
the 2K only tested HMD, but iirc it could get either SCORPION or the TopOwl-F (both HMD’s already in the game)
As far as I know, its drag at supersonic is higher than the mig21bis… That’s horrible
the HMD the Tiger has is the TopOwl-F HMD. the Topsight HMD was tested on the Rafale and Mirage 2000
what uses the scorpion one? I’ve seen the HMD on the eurocopters
I have asked Wareta to also bumped the F-16AM Radar HMS, but it seems for now it’s still only passed for suggestion. I guess some player should rally up the dead threads of F-16, since it’s ironic that one of the most universally produced aircraft in the world, and yet in this forum, its thread are one of the dead threads.
the A-10C has the scorpion
