Do you mean 0.4 seconds?
Yeah 0.4 seconds, my bad. But the main point is that the seeker locks on and starts tracking instantly. So the time between that happening and the fins unlocking doesn’t really matter.
I’m not convinced this report is correct. From what you have said, it sounds like the sensor produces a new image every 0.2 - 0.3 seconds.
You have previously argued an IR MAWS should only be triggered by missiles actually targeting the aircraft, not any missile in the vicinity. With the reasoning that the sensor can track the changing angle between the missile and the aircraft, and determine whether it is flying towards the aircraft. So by that logic the MAWS would need several images of the missile before it can determine the trajectory and decided whether to alert the pilot. So depending on the actual refresh rate and the number of images required you probably are looking at closer to 1 second (or maybe even a little over) between launch and MAWS alert.

Guys, do yall know what radar the Mirage 2000H used before being upgraded to 2000I? Did it get a RDI, RDY or the og RDM?
RDM… So that makes it 12.3 doesn’t it? I heard the RDM is much worse than the RDY
In game the RDM (Mirage 4000 radar) has basically identical stats to the RDI, which is found from 12.3 onward (2000S4 and S5).
Compared to RDY found on the -5F, they lack a full PD, and only use HDN PD. There’s also a report for full roll stabilisation of that I made for RDI that would add a further differentiation between RDM and RDI (ie, when you roll, your radar stays fixed to the horizon, which only the rafale has currently).
I’m not sure if RDY has a similar report - @Macron-Spokesman can maybe help on that - but it should have it since it’s an evolution of the RDI

So 12.7 like the S5 then… thank you
Barely touched the S5 ever since it went up in BR. Can’t wait to continue!

got me wanting my beloved S4 to drop down to 12.0 now lol

Same BR as the F1C would be wild nigl. Only loses in countermeasure count (but still sufficient), for better FM, radar, missile kit, etc
I’m researching this plane so I was so happy when I saw it was going down
I’m currently working on developing the Mirage 2000D-RMV for ground combat, and while I was looking into the aircraft, I was surprised to learn that it carries the MICA-IR. I thought it would be great if it were implemented in this game too.

Once we get MICA-IR, it would indeed be really nice

In terms of weapon loadouts, the Mica IR is the biggest change between the R2 and the RMV; it’s what allows it to remain truly effective even today.(The aircraft has not received any other armament that makes it significantly better at the moment; perhaps the Bat 120 LG will arrive one day.)
Regarding their integration into the game, I have mixed feelings. It will make it very effective, but I also fear it will reach a very high Battle Rating because of it.

One of the main addition of the RMV is actually the addition of the MICA IR compatibility - which the previous Mirage 200D did not have.
IRL, the RMV does not use AASM. They only use the improved Paveways and other guided bombs, which probably would not have needed the whole RMV upgrade to be added.
IMO it’s already overbred as it is… so going 13.0 or even higher with only 2 IR missiles but extremely strong one would be fine for me.
