Also missing ton of chaff, ground ordinance and 2 530Ds on the center pylon, all passed as “suggestion” years ago even through the info came straight from the official manual… (but iog for the kh38 was immediately added after a Chinese airshow brochure surfaced)
About the Mirage 4000, i’m more worried about the curent state of it’s flight model. in fact it did not receive the flight models changes of the 2000, despite being mostly a copy/paste of it, and thats adding to the drag that increase a lot more than the 2000 past mach1, making it worse in this area.
I thought those were the 530fs on the center pylon not the ds
Technically it never carried any 530D’s at all since the missile wasn’t in production when the plane was being tested, but it was planned to be fitted with them in place of the F’s eventually afaik.
This, I’m pretty disappointed with how Gaijin treated Mirage 4000, because AFAIK, Yak-141 was pretty complete, while Mirage 4000 still missing some features like actual seperate Chaff Dispenser, and most importantly that moving canards.

Nah canards aren’t controlled. IRL they either have a fix position, or a feathered position, where they are unlocked and free to rotate at will. This was used to reduce high speed drag of the canards

so more like a prop than like modern jet?
Yes, a bit like feathering the props
Why is the chinese mirage 2k cockpit in french? Did taiwan pilots really learn french just to fly the mirage?
Oi mate, what do you mean whan you say just?
Je ne sais pas. Maybe they did.
A little humour.
