This might be off topic but regarding the Mirage 4000 : does anyone knows when we’ll get the extra chaff the counter measure pods should have?
Each pod carries the same spirale dispenser as the Mirage and Rafale, and the dev said before they’ll add it in once separate flare/chaff gets added to the game, but it’s been in game for some time now …
After playing a couple dozen more matches in this shit bucket, I am still in awe of people who enjoy flying this thing. It is one of the most miserable aircraft I have attempted to fly at top tier.
Yeah, vibrating bombs, rockets, missiles or whatever, that bug has been in the game for almost a decade now. I remember specifically noticing it back in 2016. Rockets in pods wiggling their way out of the pod when you pull G has also been a thing forever. Just how the game is, I guess.
I found it to feel heavier and more brickish than the M2KSC4.
I don’t think there’s any statistical analysis to back that up but yeah, I had such a great time with the SC4 that I was sorely disappointed when I got the Temu Mirage.
It’s a VERY different plane to fly from anything in the Chinese tree, but in France you have the Mirage III line that kinda preps you for it, so that might be why. Not skill issue, not a bad plane, just a big change that throws anyone off
Gaijin have always operated on the premise that if, in this case, the aircraft can operate the system or munition, then it becomes a viable modification or loadout option.
US F-5C with flares that the plane never had except in foreign country service and the German MiG-29 9.12 with R-27ERs that Germany never bought - just to name a few examples.
It’s highly likely that if MICA-IRs were to come to the 5F, the 5Ei would get it too. That being said, I don’t expect any Mirages to get the IR variant, only the Rafale.
