Have reports/discussions also being made on the fact that French missiles and plane don’t appear to have the new range indicators of missiles that was added on US and Russian aircraft’s giving more accurate min and max ranges when slaved to radar ?
Dunno about that but for now priroties aren’t located on these fields if you want more info @DirectSupport might answer your questions better than i can.
They have the same rate of fire at 750 RPM, so Tiger is better. A129 should have selectable 1250 rpm though.
AH-129D uses M197 (20x102 mm) while M781 from HAD uses 30x113 mm designed to engage light armored vehicle and soldier (precision rocket aceuleus and AGM being there to engage heavy armor)
Btw as a reminder the DEFA from the mirage family are also using 30x113 ammo but it is no compatible with the 30x113 of the M781
can the 5F carry exocet? How many can the Etendard IV M, and Super Etendard carry?
I don’t believe the 5F or Etendard IV variant in-game can carry it. The SEM should be able to carry two, but I believe that carrying 1 was the standard procedure.
That’s not a Mirage 5F (If we got a Mirage 50 variant, that could also carry it), that’s a Mirage 2000. If we got an Exocet on the Mirage 2000 series, we should get the AM39 variant of the Exocet as well rather than the older one.
I wasn’t reading close I just assumed because its the 2000 thread you were just paraphrasing

Ah I see what you mean. Was ambiguous of a question I suppose given the overlap.

Mirage 2000-5F mk2 was developped and is able to carry at least 1 Exocet in centerline pylon.
The Photo of @Macekeeks showed you, is a Mirage 2000 (and told by the painted name of the aircraft on the nose)
The Super-Etendard can carry 1 Exocet, with Fuel tank on the other side.
Etendard IVM never used AM.39, it used AS.20 then AS.30 as Anti-ship weapon.
Is the Super Etendard not capable of two Exocets or is that just all they carry
I don’t know i never seen pic of SuE with 2 Exocets.
Me neither but I’m assuming its just French doctrine. French fighters never load up on atams only one I can think of is the mirage 4000 with triple racks but that wasn’t adopted.
5f can’t use it but -9 can and they mixed both variant…
Super étendard always loaded only one, the other pylon was used for an additional fuel tank to increase the range of the aircraft the Exocet otherwise the aircraft wouldn’t be able to comeback as it would have consumed all the fuel it had.
Afaik SuE had to remove the gunpack to use the Exocet
we went over that im only wondering if it can

The same aircraft of your pictures: 2000-5mk2
In french service the mirage 2000-5 never used air to ground weaponry (except dumb bomb and rocket and maybe GBL as a carrier but not as designator)
