Mirage f1c-200 is terrible

In a full down tier your magic 2 missiles will be flared easily and your radar missiles are useless. In a full upteir you have to face f-14’s from 40 miles away with a rwr that cant even tell you if your being locked or your teammate on the other side of the map. Not to mention vehicles like the ja37di or the su-33 which are infinitely better than this mirage. The plane is fat, its fast but thats not really anything great, it cant dogfight and its missiles are terrible. You have to try and base bomb but then you get killed by something at a 1.0 br below you which is 100% better in every aspect. The f-18c early has better missiles and preformance and everything else. The f-18 is better in EVERY SINGLE WAY and is ONLY at a 0.7 br higher than it. Not to mention the fact that even the f-18c early shouldnt have to face amraams and is also a terrible vehicle in a full upteir. In other words in the mirage if you get a down tier your useless because other vehicles have better radar missiles and slap you out of the sky. In a up tier your useless. So yea major decompression needs to happen or this needs to go down in br. War Thunder has a major problem anyways, full uptiers for any vehicle has vehicles that are 100% better than yours in every way. Not to mention almost all maps are completely flat and give no cover from radar missiles.

Gripen food 😅

I have a bad new for you, we all suffer for being constantly uptiered. I don’t even care anymore, I’m at peace with that.
I don’t have this version, but the regular one available in the TT. For sure it’s not an user friendly aircraft. I suffer a lot the stock syndrome and I had TONS of bad matches in it. It’s just a very misunderstood plane, it’s not meant to dogfight, it should be played with a bit of brain and tactics. You cannot spawn, rush into the middle and pray for things to go well. Yeah its rwr isn’t great, but it has a quite decent radar.
And about facing F-14’s… I don’t remember the last time I died because of a tomcat fox-3, but it was long ago, just stay away from the initial BVR phase and missiles spam. Before spawning take a look at the br, if you’re facing US and you’re the bottom of the tier, for sure you’ll find some Cats.
Want to use it in a proficient way? On youtube there are plenty of videos about it, I guess I started getting kills with that thing after watching bad karma IIRC

f1c -200 it was amazing
Magic 2 are insane they are pretty much 2 guaranteed kills
Matra f arent great but are usable on unaware targets
The fm isnt bad just a bit lacking on accelertion but its a great df
And tons of cm

If u get full uptier sure ur in a big disadvantge but full downtier and ur magic 2 getting flared? Ur playing the plane wrong

12.0 meets 13.0 and mgc2 cant go down. Compression. Next!

Or it’s the mgc2 issue. Relying on an IR msl without performance or rwr… But still, call meeting 13.0 a compression issue

the magics are possibly the easiest missiles to flare ive ever seen other than the python 3 what are you talking about?? The irccm is non-existent. Even from rear aspect they go after flares before a 1000 degree engine

I think I heard this exact same tune from US Main, who says AIM-9M is no better than AIM-9L.

Magics works the same as R-73 with their IRCCM where they shrink FOV after launch. Due to their delay in guiding and fuse activation they arent good for headons,but they excel in side and rear aspect shots.

At what range are you shooting your magics? Because sub 1.5km rear aspect its nearly impossible to flare.

Whatttt?
P3 has no irccm and u are clearly using the magic 2 wrong
U should fire it rear aspect from pretty close like 2km or less but if u do its 90% if not more secured kill

F1c200 is trash plane with 2 insane magic2 and have endless flare but nothing more. The air rb mechanic and the non exist by system make a plane useless.

Please use already created thread in machinery of war section to discuss this vehicle.

thank you.
