It’s better than the MiG-29 RN, lol.
no kidding they feel like a flying bus
Still doesnt justify why Mirage flies like trash can.
İt seems like all top tier planes got nerfed in terms of flight performance except F-16’s.
Gaijin needs to do something cause not everyone wants to fly with F-16.
Even if it is there is quite some problems with airframes of planes other than F16 right now been testin maneuvers for a few minutes now and the plane is unable to pull more than 7G whith and whithout brakes while it easily did 9-10 (without having to use airbrakes) on the dev servers they may have implemented a last moment nerf to everybody except US for reasons once again. Also feels like it accelerates less
I’ve been playing the SMT only and went to play one game in the M2k. I was like damnnnn, this thing feels like a god send compared to the SMT
MiG 29 now bleed energy like crazy, especially the SMT.
The mirage fares a little better, but when facing the f16 that can go 14G without bleeding nearly as much energy (I don’t know how that’s physically possible to have such a good energy retention), both the mirage and mig29 get slapped right now. And those are the second and third best aircraft’s at top tier (I don’t really know which is better right now tho between the mirage and mig), so let’s not even talk about the suffering of harriers, tornados, F4s and big gen’s facing f16s

I think it’s a bad idea to try and get that changed.
If we can slave radar with HMS, they’ll end up gimping the HMD PD to 10km instead of the great 19km range we have now with ACM making it much less useful for 530D
Same here. The non-spaded SMT has a horrible flight model, bleeds energy like crazy and accelerates slowly. I’m still missing 2 key FM related mods so it will hopefully improve, but the mirage feels much better
iirc MiG-29’s should be like 10km ACM lock range per the manual, if there is a statement in the manuals about M2K ACM lock range in the future it can be adjusted…
I’d rather it all be realistic than balanced regarding the radars, balancing decisions like the current ACM limitations on F-14 ruin the game.
Its too late to un-report it. Community Bug Reporting System
But the HMS ACM is completely necessary for the MICA EM even if it’s gimped to 9km. Without the ACM aiming, the MICA EM would be very gimped.
The MICA EM is supposed to be a 50G TVC dogfighting missile. Slaving the radar with HMS would account for half of its performance.

Kay. Fingers crossed it keeps its range.
Unrelated but did you notice the engine is quieter now?
After 5 months I’m extremely glad that they finally reduced the engine volume of the 2000. Now I can actually hear the RWR without my damn ears bleeding
stock grinding the mirage 2000 and its a sad sight knowing the r73 is basically a magic 2 on crack and you can get 6 of them and the 6 x aim9m is eating trough your 36 flares while you get 2 good ir missiles and 2 useless radar ones
Hopefully report on the mirage countermeasures goes through and the -5F gets its 250 CMs with the Eclair-M pod soon
I love the SMT I think only issue is R73s clearly do not have ECCM and need a buff to turn radius
It would be nice if they would stop limiting aoa for missiles and aircraft

Totally.
regarding for alpha on the R73. It seems they do have some but at slow speeds. The r73 seem only to high alpha cuts when you fire at stall speed practically any faster the missile acts like you fired a r60 in a dive going 1.12. Its weird.
Aircraft wise I am a strong believer in RB they should implement true unique limitations that a each aircraft has and will lose control if performing high enough alpha. it would make thing soo much realistic and dynamic at the same time highlight the technological advantage that have FBW systems over others who do not.
But at the same time highlighting advantages of non-FBW platforms who are able to throw aircraft in a stall on command and come out of it with a nose on attack position with R73s.
The F16 is increasingly showing its ability to fight as it does and keep energy all day & its true capability is being unlocked every patch. Which is good.
However, as long as we have alpha limitations, Soviet fighters will slowly suffer as their quite literally designed features and capability is hindered by the games effort to make it easier to fly for everyone.

I have 1 source, where Zhuk-ME have ACM lock up to 15km ( on F-16 type targets ). But i don’t think, what i can use this on forum ( but it is freely available )
Does anyone know why the 2000D is missing the thermal imager in CLDP?
The US F4J has it, it’s quite helpful
It’s a bug, uninstall the NVD mod from the aircraft it will be back
