The 2000C-S5 makes no sense being at 12.3 in sim. In all brackets youre the worst possible option. If it was 12.0 youd at least have the chance to compete in 11.3-12.0 games. 12.3 is too high for this jet with majority head on radar modes, 2 shitty 530Ds, and 2 good close range ir missiles. Getting spammed by r27ERs by the entire enemy teams is ridiculous. And you know there is a problem when everyone on the enemy team is in the mig 29. There either needs to be a change in the brackets or br change on the aircraft itself.

But on 11.7 the situation is exactly the opposite. The F1C hordes are so good that they incinerate the opposing team.
Meanwhile, the phantom has only 2 days out of 8 to play with opponents of its level.
Besides: The M2000 is clearly stronger than the F-4S, and definitely cannot be downgraded to 12.0.

Why are you playing against MiGs to begin with? You should be looking for matches with France on the red team.

Well, problem is that there is no EC-rotation where 12.3 is top, just as during the last iteration there was no 11.0. So best any 12.3 can do is to fly in 12.7 rotations.

So maybe the problem isn’t with the Mirage, but with the platforms carrying the R-27ER? They clearly don’t belong at 12.7, and the only thing that can effectively counter them is a Fox-3.
I do wanna note that [email protected] is pretty much nothing without R27Es, while the Mirage get some of the best radar plus good RWR and insane maneuverability, also the magic 2.
You get the point, M2000C totally deserve 12.7 if for any reason. It is just as good if not better than the F20A.

The F4S can compete with the S2000 until it becomes a dogfight. It has its disadvantages but the 7F is a very good radar missile if not better than the 530D, and it has 4 of them. Either the br or brackets need to change.
Also the F1C has its own trade offs, 2/3 F1Cs dont have launch detection, and all of them only have SRC radar modes. The only thing propping the F1C so high is the magic 2.
The main opponent of the F1C at the moment is the MiG-23. Let’s compare?:
radar is better, RWR is better, maneuverability is better, speed is comparable
MiG is a clear outsider here, but it is on the same level as F1C.
The Mirage will go to the phantom in the next update.
MIG 23MLD radar and rwr are pretty much the same as the F1CT but has better radar missiles and worse IR missiles. The 530Fs are dogshit and take 1 chaff to avoid without notching. All of the MIG23s are faster. The manueverability of the F1C is comparable to the F4 so theres no way the its worse than the MIG 23, even after the flight model changes. If anything the MIG 23ML and MLA should just drop in br.
It looks like the opinion of a person who operates with dry numbers. In practice, I have never been twisted by more than one MiG-23, I just turn around on the spot, launch MM2 and fly for the next frag. Besides, he may have the coolest rocket in the game, it won’t help him as long as he doesn’t see anyone on his radar.
What ? At 12.7 this thing is better than the Mig29 … once you defeat the 27ER, Mig29 are just meat for your Magic 2
And defeating the Magic 2 is much much much harder than defeating the 27ER.
Also Mirage F1 is much better than Mig23. Now at slow speed even a Phantom can beat the Mig23.
BTW, the Mig23 radar was nerfed, MTI is automatic now.
The 3 Mirage F1 have MTI mode …
Mirage F1C-200 was crap, but now it’s the best premium in the game, they buffed FM, Speed, Acceleration, Misile Range, Misile IRCCM, added MTI mode

If you can even get close enough to launch a magic 2 without getting third partied by someone elses r27.
Sure in rear aspect they can be hard to defeat, but in a head ons magic 2s are easily avoided.
Also the F1C-200 is nowhere near the best premium.
It should be at least the same BR as Yak-141 and Mig-29.
Good enough radar missiles, good countermeasures, digital RWR, and great IR missiles.
