he is talking about the r-530f
which can be one chaffed due to it not having a CW seeker but a Pulse seeker
the same reason why it dosent give launch warnings
2 Likes
becasue its a pulse missile
and you know what that means?
a single drop of chaff and the missile is going to be trashed

Do people not just pop a chaff whenever they see a mirage 2k lock them? Like ive only ever died to one due to a sarh missile once and that was because i had run out of chaff lol. Its not like they are hard to dodge either.
its not even about the M2K
but the Mirage F1C
I always say 2k when i mean f1… dont ask me why but yeah.
the missile not giving a launch warning is something that will fool somebody once and then you should just know to drop a single chaff when locked by a Mirage F1
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me
also if u launch the missile in a blind spot of ur enemy’s RWR it will be easier to kill him, and if u lock ur target at long range they will not expect u launching a missile that far away, which means u can get closer without them caring of u and then u have the perfect oportunity to launch it. whatever if an ally launches a SARH missile that has CW at the same enemy, ur 530F is probably cooked except ur enemy is dumb and relies in multipath.
yeah i forgot about the name of CW, i remember it almost perfectly due to the Kurnass 2000.
Ive managed to get a handfull of kills with the r530 on my 10.0 mirage 3c let alone anything at 12.0 lol. I would rather bring the ir 530 and just hope they dont see the massive smoke plume coming towards them lol.
yeah this post is so old im not even worried about F1Cs anymore so im not trash-talking about them anymore (plus it’s been a while since i saw one).
Nah you are trippin Mirages arent good in any way even with magic 2. French nation players are just insane and they just overperform in everything they get. Two years ago i would agree magic 2 are guaranted kills but nowadays i get more kills with 530f even tho they suck so hard its painful. I literally had a clip of me from 2 years ago shooting magic2 at some plane from 3.5km on his left side/front and even tho he spammed all his flares it hits him perfectly - unthinkable nowadays even without flares.
Mirage F1C,200,CT - shitty radar, poor flight perf, good speed, shitty sarh missile, 2x magic 2 but you have to fire them when you are behind an enemy (all aspect btw) and 1500m behind otherwise they are spoofed by 1 flare (“irccm” btw), good bomb payload.
Holy Necromancy - 7 months ago, no one dared to replied back.
“burh moment” - it’s only because they care on how they use weapons and vehicules,…
the aircraft is good, if you know how to (thing you seems to not know)
I mean yeah mirage is good “if you know how to” but you can say this about almost every plane. Still think that radar missiles like R-24 and Aim-7 and even aim-9l give you more attack opportunities and more possible ways for kill than short range magic 2.
And do you know any?
which is completely wrong,… R-24 and AIM-7, even AIM-9L are way easier to decoy than a Magic-2, when lauched with good parameters,…
the problem of many players in this game : they fire missile whenever it indicates a lock, thinking the missile magically track at your intended target.
any missiles have pros and cons,… but the strength of Magic-2 is the possibility at short ranges.
give me Magic-2 over AIM-9L all the time bro (even over the AIM-9M in 85% of situations)
and yes you can say this to every plane,… that’s only meaning you lack expertise on those aircrafts and weapons.
Thank God that somehow mirage with 2x magic 2 is considered balanced when its fighting f4s with 6x aim7 or Fa18 with 4x aim7m and 2x aim9l or Netz with 6x python 3 btw .3 br difference. xD Insanity at this point. Ive seen enough send f1c to 14.0 br.
Actually i see that since 2024 you barely played with f1c i dare you to try playing now
Try the kfir at 12.0. and see what bad really is
Mirage gets magics, CMs for days, fox 1s (which ignore chaff if used right- can even surprise dunk them as no RWR warning), radar, good RWR (CT) its alot of fun
Kfir gets 4 pythons bout it
So much mirage hate when its just the game.
yet, it was fighting quite the same opponents/missiles with a lot of F-16A BLk10 and BLK15 (before the AIM-120A buff, that made the F-16A ADF BLK15 to jump to 13.3 BR),… so i basically fought against the same kind of opponents (and F-16’s are better overall than F/A-18A’s).
yet, even when barely played since Statshark was created, i do have 9 kills for 2 deaths within 3 games played in 2025.
that’s 3 kills/games (KG), and 4.5 Kills/deaths (KD) in 2025
(overall, i’m doing 1.78 KD / 1.11 KG, for a total of 270 games - Mirage F.1C, the one in Free TechTree, so i had to grind for getting more/better missiles)
meanwhile,… you’re only scoring 1.23 KD, 1.02 KG in a total of 360 games.
so there is 2 possibilities:
- i’m a good player of WT, and my experience is making the difference (but even if i’m old in this game, i’m not)
- you’re not using your premium F.1C-200 correctly, and you’re barely able to make it work thanks to best missiles you have on this aircraft (Magic-2), that you’ve been using since 1st game you played with it, because premium don’t have to unlock better missiles.
that’s also one of the problem of newbs using premium,… not having to unlock modules makes them failing to reach for good fighting methods in order to efficiently grind - the difference is visible by comparing the average result of Mirage F.1C and Mirage F.1C-200 premium
(and even there, i’m wondering how massively unskilled are most players of the game)
Mirage F.1 is quite decent over all. Kfir C.10 is neither strictly worse nor is it strictly better.
I just hope that the Greek Mirage F.1 is going to be 11.0 instead of 11.3.
