We are talking about air RB. And yes. AASM are great at CAS, but their effect are limited in Air RB.
They currently are not enough to damage even half of a base, and can only help kill 5 ground AI targets at best, most of which are targets that can be killed by a gun which the RMV has to sacrifice one bomb to carry a pod.
I still think both 2000D are to high in Air realistic due to these factors. They aren’t great at air combat (except in the very few cases you engage in a dogfight against everything that is not a f16, gripen, or F15A, since the added weight of the 2000D makes it lose a lot of sustained against the F15 for exemple compared to the 2000C), and their actual ground capabilities is not greater than even many jets. The only advantage in their ground ordinance is the range of them, but a F16 for example can carry just as much TNT equivalent and 2 missiles, with a radar, a better FM, and at a lower BR than the RMV. The only thing they lack would be a HMD.
I was talking about Sim EC. And the DRMV has three PGM 2000s, which are enough to destroy a base.
But who cares about CAS capabilities in air modes?
Ooops, forgot about the PGMs. Haven’t played them in ages. Point taken. I still do not think it’s BR makes sense tho.
I am mainly talking about ARB. I have played it like twice in sim, so I can’t comment on that.
Is it just me or that the guided bombs used to have more damage and/or reward?
I don’t think Mirage is good for that anyways even without added weight, sustained turn rate for any delta wing… The first turn for Mirage is great but after that F15s take over. With Mirage 2KD I think even in first turn it is a 50/50 if not 40/60.
Good News.
On the DEV Server, BVVD showed that there is now a button to recenter the radar scan zone (at least vertically, maybe horizontally too).
Moreover, we now will have a keybind to to switch radar stabilization on and off, while also getting an ability to move the scan zone up/down while it is off.
Don’t know if your request pushed the devs to implement it or if they already had this planned / in development, but thank you anyway.
BVVD starts talking about it at around 1:01:20 and does for a couple minutes:

Well this is nice, now I don’t have to switch on/off the radar elevation in the options.
Yea, quite a few small changes in this update like this. I like it.
I recently read that Ukraine now has Mirage 2000-5F in service, which can use AASM. But in the game, the 5F somehow doesn’t have these bombs.
Yeah i wanted to report the new armaments but i guess we will need to wait until we see picture of it because there isn’t any official documents about as far as i saw after trying to search about it and it is vague when they talk about the air to ground change they did on the mirage 2k5f.
And it might get complicated if information is combat footage with just the claimed plane that launched the bomb without seeing it actually dropping the aasm etc.
anti drone version of M2K on a MBDA stand.
Shows how small a manpads really is compared to a regular AAM (Mistral - MICA)
I want this assembled irl, Mistral-MICA Mirage is too funny
erm, so with this statement, we might consider making a bug report that mirage 2000 series have a AOA off switch, if somebody has something that can prove it, i would really appreciate him doing the bug report >_<
Mirage 2000 Cockpit? (the switch is clearly visible on C variants)
he is asking specifically to show the proof that the swich does it, not that a switch just exists in the cockpit
that’s unproofable unless you do have fully declassified Mirage docs
yeah, thats why i asked
which is impossible until 2036 (50 years, remember?)
I mean there is a report made for the rafale but yeah it seem that there is less informations about it.
I believe direct support will do a report on it when he is finished with is rafale reports marathon, soon tm
Another great job from DirectSupport, which does a lot for French stuff.
Sadly Devs are really annoying when it comes to European stuff, while most of the time it’s a European tech that is Reverse-engineered onto US or RU crap ^^"
