Talking about wether missiles saw combat or not is laughable.
AIM-X got flared by a SU-22 once, does that mean it would be a one flare missile in game?
-Of course not.

MICA is more advanced than R-73 in range and IRCCM.
Why is there talk about AIM-7R when it is not needed in game?
There were compatability issues with previous AIM-7 rails by the way.
Was AIM-7R not also supposed to be a FOX-3?
Further developement was cancelled due to AIM-120 which we will get soon…
Fixed Super 530D and Magic 2 would keep the M2K in the game, that woulb be very nice.

Hello, different subject

Flares/chaff

I was wondering if the mirage 2000s shouldn’t be using high Caliber flare chaff as it seems their tube are quite larger than the standard tube found on jaguar and mirage F1

Also is that normal that the 2000D with more flare dispenser has less flare count? (88 vs 90)

Finally are we sure that the flares are fired 2 by 2 when used from the left and right dispenser below the engine?
I thought that the flares on the mirage were specifically designed for the aircraft

Super 530D capability on the mirage 2000-5F:

While digging on the plane information, more specifically the super 530D compatibility with the RDY radar, I found this website https://www.aicprat.fr/ maybe they’ll have released documentation about RDY and RDI radar.

Also I’m pretty convinced that wiring to use the super 530d on the 5F was removed from the pylon as it went from a missile pylon to a wet pylon

883

from what i heard buyers were suppose to be able to retro fit the 530d to their m2k5f so they could use their left overs i dont think anyone did though

884

None of them did, because none of exported M2k-5 and M2k-9 countries used Super 530D prior to buying M2k-5/-9

885

Did tests on dev server comparing IRCCM on Magic 2, Mistral and R-73

Result, R-73 with single-spectrum seeker has better IRCCM than Magic 2/Mistral with dual-spectrum seeker))))

You were able to fire in TWS?

In-game Mirage 2000D is using 88 large caliber flares. Mirage 2000C and 2000-5 has 90 small caliber flares.

They intentionally gave Mirage 2000D large caliber flares so it wouldn’t have a lot more in terms of small caliber CMs.

Devs also acknlowedge that more countermeasures are missing similar to the Tornado situation.

893

Yes, but radar don’t change mode on PD

894

So they might be working on it I guess. We are being heard. Probably not, but I am ready to eat my words

895

Is there some ability to use 530D with TWS? I just tested and it seems all aircraft with TWS can fire SARHs but not guide them in fully.

896

In reality 2000 can fire 530D in TWS, then it will switch to STT automatically

Interesting, do you know if it switches to STT under certain conditions i.e. 2km, 5km, etc. from the target?

898

No

right now it doesnt matter what happens after you fire it in tws even if you switch to a hard lock in trk or trk pd it will explode

Yeah, even the data-linked R-27 refuses to track after getting a solid lock.
