530F were already useless.
530D to me on M2KC (maybe you use the M2K-5F that never was meant to use S.530D, because of technology)
I do use PD mode, never use TWS lock.
Maybe that’s the problem you have.
Can’t fire a 530 from TWS, need a hard STT lock.
That’s what i thought too,… i hve no problem using S.530D,… but some people have.
i use PD mode with BVR.
530D are less reliable because of the fuze bug that’s been affecting all fox 1 it seems like
also the new PID make the missile less reliable if the target changes path

Well i don’t know about that bug,… i made 1 game in 2000C and got 2 S.530D kills (35km and another one from 8km)
first impression on the dev-serv.
-Magic 2 seeker “seems” to be buffed. (waiting for Datamine to confirm). Can ignore flare in front aspect (like aim-9m), if the guy is not preflareing in advance. good point
-Magic 2 fuze delay is still the same making unusable at short range in some condition. (annoying as hell)
-Magic 2 still is 35G. No buff on this part sadly.
-Radar of Mirage 2000-5F is now (there is no other word for this) a pure Gargabe in the current dev-server build. Broken PD, Broken PD HDN. Target dont even need to notch to break the lock. a simple roll turn make the radar hard lock fade away. Normal lock act weirdly.
-Dont even talk about S530D. If it stay in the same state as the current dev-build. S530D is now unusable even at short range. S530D going for flare while radar is in PD and PD HDN mode. unable to get a simple hit in Head-on. Feel like S530F.
If it stay in this state. just don’t use S530D.
It weird to say but patch after patch radar and missile radar get worst, while bug report should fix it. Well it’s dev server so maybe (and hopefully) not final.
The only good point on current dev-build this is maybe the new seeker of Magic 2 (need confirmation), the rest (the aircraft in general) is the same or worst (for the radar and radar missile).
I hope it just my impression but i will need people to confirm is S530D and radar is worst on dev.

Well, the config file for the Magic 2 has not been changed. So it is either that there have been changes to other stuff (that would apply to everything), or just placebo

Was the flight model changed it feels different every time I play could be placebo.
Yeah either they reworked how IRCCM operates, or Magic 2 wasn’t affected at all.
As far as this dev server, if anyone is wondering what’s going to new in terms of reports on Mirage 2000, I’ll be making a report for missing HMD soon, currently only the F-16C has this feature, but otherwise there’s nothing left to report or push for to be implemented, atleast until December.
I suspect fox 3 missiles to be arriving in December, that’s when we should push for the Magic 2 rework that is in the pipeline, as well as implementing radar slaving through the HMS.
But for this patch, it’s important to get the EC-665 Block 2 fixed, it has a good chance of being the best heli in the game.
Things needed to be fixed:
Camera location bug
Mistral missile acceleration
Mistral missile overload
HMD slaving of missile
I’ll be making a thread soon to get the Tiger Block 2 fixed as much as possible before it comes.

I’m assuming we shouldn’t need anymore radar reports because this bug seems to be affecting everyone
The bigger bugs with missile fuzes and radars and etc, are just something everyone is dealing with, so yes.
The AH-129D should be able to be on par with it
Which is a good thing imo: having 2 minor nation with best tech is good for the game health it would be cool if israelian tree could have 8 spikes too.
Sorry for the off topic
That’s true, the Tiger HAD however should be a bit better however since it can just only show the opticals while scanning the battlefield while the A129D has to show the entire hull, exposing it to SAMs.
And it’s all good. Also yes, I’ve been advocating for Israel to get it as well.
Me no happy >:<
See if you guys can wander over there and give the thread a like.

The AH-129D will be better against fixed wings because of the rotary cannon, which will be better than an AT 30mm, thats about it, so i’d say the difference is negligible.
With the upcoming HMD for the F-16C’s i wonder if Mirage 2000 and Mig 29 will get their equivilants, i wonder if we can get the TopSight for the mirage 2000 (atleast the 5F)

isnt it the same 30mm that the normal HAD/HAP uses? with 27mm at 10m 0 degrees SAPHEI?
Competent people are already working on it
