keep in mind that the diameter of the MICA is still wrong and to large, so there’s also just pure drag that reduces it’s range on top of PID running
What speed did you start at?
0, runway.
still 165mm instead of 160 huh ?
No, range is already correct as drag has been tuned for it to reach the correct distance. The drag is currently too little due to this, if they reduce diameter the drag will increase to match current performance. What you will see is likely an increase in energy loss during maneuvers if they correct the diameter.
@dedale_stargate but yes, still incorrect
Actually I was speaking of both
The 5EI has tail hook (which is right compared to real photos) but no eclair m modelled, therefore it should be updated. Flare or tail hook but it can’t have both that is a physical limitations of the aircraft.
In my opinion it would be preferable to have the éclair (no one wants to play with 16 countermeasures) but I do not know if Taiwan paid the éclair m dispenser or designed one on it’s own…
To be fair countermeasures are quite a mess on a lot of aircraft (j10 is modelled with 18 large + 36 small and it ended up with 72 large. All F-16 are messed up and modelled with combination of large and small caliber but only have small countermeasures…)
since they decided to update the amount of countermeasures on the 3D model they should update a lot of aircraft like they did for jaguar, MF1, F-5 family and F4 family…
it in reality should replace the tailhook with the mod, they chose not to make the mod affect the physical model so probably a bug
Current full air-air load on rafale (F4) would be (for one wing):
1 mica ir (Wingtip) 2 mica em (under wings) and 1 meteor (under wingroot) so 8 missile in total while retaining the ability to use air to ground weaponry at the same time with 6x AASM
It’s worth to note that in this configuration the aircraft uses 3 not supersonic fuel tank of 2000 liters

pretty much identical to the EFT layout then, just the latter having more meteor/AIM-120s

in its current configuration it is too draggy.
Any idea what parameters are necessary to reach the 80km range in game currently ?
From the test we did with DirectSupport back in june, where we basically emulated a MICA VL in game, the missile was missing a big chunk of max speed, and had incorrect speed at 7km and 12km respectively
After some strained research I have concluded that because Taiwan can barely afford to maintain it’s fleet of M2Ks, it has ‘de-equipped’ a few of it’s advanced sensor items, like Eclair-M pod and ASTAC pod to keep the maintenance down, I do believe that the extra CM dispensers where involved in the arms deal to buy the mirages
i think im gonna restart the Mirage 4000 program (i want MICA’s on the Mirage 4000)

I’m going to resurrect King Khalid and King Fahd to have buyers for the M4K and so we can see this camo on it

i personally love the unpainted scheme, so shinny and clean
in this booklet in mentions the 4K carrying the Exocet, does anybody know anymore on this. was the 4K planned for the Exocet?
To each their own but this is my fav pic
