half of the time yes
They haven’t?
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.

Gripen is compatible with mica for example but they never bought any mica.
Well they have IRIS-T which is more than enough for close range engagements, thats why they didnt bother to buy it.
Maybe Gripen NG and E model can recieve MICA IR due to their compatibility.
That would be expected but we are playing War Thudner here…
That would be disgusting.
And the Tomcats are compatible with AMRAAMs and the MiG-23s are compatible with R-73s.
Loadouts are a balancing tool by the Devs and I speculate that they also want to keep some individuality between the between the nations.
We’ve arrived at a point where we are grinding planes for their ordinance, not the planes themselves. What’s the point in grinding 3 different top tier planes when you can grind the Gripen that can do it all?

Well that might be, since aside from the J-10, the only other 13.7’s I have are the F-16C/F-15C.
its not, its 20kg difference
even if it would be only by 20 kg, its still heavier, which in a dogfight between those 2, with same skilled pilots, would be a disadventage.
you have 32 large flares + spirale if you are having troubles with that…
i didnt say i have “troubles with that”, i pointed out that 2000d rmv just has more cm, which is true
yes the br is kinda stupid but we dont have to make up stuff
its not “kinda stupid” its “really stupid”, also what did i made up?
my guess its due to the removed air refuel capability
While the 5F/5mk2/-9 represent all mirage 2000-5/-9 family it should have everything while the 5EI actually represents only the 5EI so why not (aside from the Éclair M flare dispenser)
Are you asking why does the Taiwanese Mirage 2000-5 not have gound strike capability?
asking that there is no MICA-IR ever on Mirage 2000-5EI (since they never ever recieved such missile)

no im pretty sure they bought some
show me proof,… they (Taiwan) never bought the MICA-IR (they have bought the MICA-EM, not the IR)
Isn’t that a Magic 2 trainer?

Ah i think it is, now that i think about it. So yeah the Taiwanese mirage 2000 will probably not get the Mica IR in game
Well I am slowly warming up to the 2000EI, it has just taken me this long to get used to the play style and overcome my skill issue. The mirage absolutely hates being at or above mach 1, so flying it slow is something I had to get used to.
Only because Gaijin killed any AoA ability from Delta wing design.
Game balance decision because “MiCa ToO StRoNg, MuH” players.
