The RDM was quite a bit different from the RDI. While it was less powerful than the RDI, it had more air to ground modes, and the RDI never received these modes despite the RDI being a successor. The RDM is more equivalent to the RDY in the multiple modes it had while the RDI was a dedicated air superiority radar.

Evidence has been found that Mirage 2000’s roll rates are significantly less than they should be.
This video shows flight demonstration of the Mirage 2000. At the timestamp of 1:15, the Mirage 2000 does a roll in level flight while maintaining altitude. While being at 740 feet and 410 knots, it manages to do a 450 degree roll in 2 seconds. In-game, it took much longer.

About 2 seconds for me. Pardon the 20FPS, it is a 500Kbps video.
The conditions are wrong, you want 225m or 740 feet. The speed is right. Even then, the roll rate is over 2 seconds for 450 degrees. I’ll have to make a footage in-game, and use the youtube video, and do a side-by-side video.

Mute the audio as well to end audio bias as well, and you should be good.
I did one on minimum fuel just in case.
You can put this on as well. It’ll help you prove if fuel weight is a factor in this comparison or not.
That was also the case with the Mirage III wasn’t it ?
But they told us they don’t accept video evidence

Video evidence can be used if properly cited and such. Can’t leave out any variables however.
Anybody notice much higher flare resistance from the R60M these last 2 days?
I’ve had several completely ignore flares despite engine <50% when it’s usually a 1flare missile even with a/b on, wondering if it might be a Mirage issue since nobody seems to see it
R-60M always seemed to have decent flare resistance in rear aspect against afterburning targets.
TY for the great insight, i’ll be sure to keep my afterburner off when engine power is set below 50%
Thanks for the sarcastic reply, I was sharing my different experience in relation to the specific portion of your statement wherein you claimed “it’s usually a 1 flare missile even with a/b on”. I have not noticed any improvement recently and sure enough, nothing has changed in the missile data in the last few days.

Would a change about the heat signature of a specific jet, its flares, or the heat seeking code model in general all show up in data mines?
I believe so, it’s all there. I don’t think it is a server-side thing.

I was getting missiles by MIg-29 head-on by R-60M , sim being sim with out AB while flaring and pre flaring.
happened to me 4 times in a row , losing my mind .
Meanwhile Magic-II still have none.
Magic 2 has the 2nd or 3rd best flare resist currently of the “non-IRCCM” small missiles.
Well any of mine just goes fo flares whatever the firing situation,… and i’ve seen even AIM-9B resisting to flares much more than magic’s… (my experience POV)
You gotta shoot them from <1.5km and they are almost never flared even if they shut A/B off, basically like an AIM9L, just with an ultra gimped range because it’s french and we know how the snail feels about snail eaters
