Mirage F1C to 11.7

I just did a quick sustained turn rate test

I got 16º/s for the su-25, clean and min fuel (8m) and takeoff flaps.

I got 13º/s for the F1C with 42% fuel and 13.7º/s with min fuel, which is similar to a F-4S when adjusted to similar fuel time in afterburner.

For the F1C I did with 42% fuel (18min) to compensate because you wouldn’t take more than 14min fuel in the su-25 in a normal match and you would start fighting with less than 8min. Even then the F1C with 18min has relatively less fuel.

Note that you can get about 16º/s in a phantom on min fuel (the ones with internal gun or 18º/s with the FGR2 but that’s a different beast), but you will empty your tank much quicker than the F1C (which is quite efficient for an afterburner jet) or the non afterburning su-25.

Also, I don’t mind setting up that test dogfight if you want. But won’t be very interesting

Yes, it is Mirage F1C, F4S, Kfir C7 and J37D.

Mirage F1C is the best 12.0…
It is the only plane in br that has missiles with IRCCM.

It has good flight performance, excellent IR missiles and poor radar missiles.

In terms of flight performance, it only loses to the Kfir.

In terms of radar missiles it loses to the F4S, maybe for J37D too (Skyflash DF is a realy shit missile too ).

In terms of number of countermeasures, it only loses to the j37D.

It is an extremely balanced and consistent plane in 12.0

this plane is an abomination, it shouldn’t be less than 12.3 (same br as su25ms3)

If you lose to F4E, F5E, J7E and Mig 23, playing with Mirage F1C, I’m sorry to inform you, but it’s not the plane’s fault…
Maybe it’s time for you to start watching tutorials or gameplay videos of the vehicle to get some tips.

okay come on don’t shit on the J-7E, its great

Yeah the difference is that 7Fs require a lot more setup and positioning management usually.

At no time did I say that the J7E is a bad plane, I just said that it can’t beat a Mirage F1C, mainly because of the missiles.

??? Why can’t it?

mriage F1C has better engines, a very decent flight performance, missiles with irccm to end any possibility of dogfight, radar missiles to end any headons attempt, even at low altitude using MTI mode.
the advantage is all for mirage.
If the Mirage player loses the match up, it’s his demerit

F-4S is the best, for the meta, and even in a 1v1 against a F1C.

lol

Its the worst radar missile at that BR. The skyflash /aim7e2 is far better, and on 12.0 it is usually coupled with a PD radars.

Agree completely with this part.

F1C and J7E are both untouchable to each other if both are good pilots. Only because the F1C can run away all game and the J7E can easily evade the F1C all-game unless it sneaks near the J7E

It depends on the situation, at long distances the f4s is infinitely better, now when the distance shortens the f4s is unable to deal against mirage f1c.

a well-placed magic 2 ends this fight in seconds

No matter the range the F1C can’t deal with a good F-4S pilot, due to the simple fact that you can flare the magics2 from frontal aspect and after merging the phantom has slightly better dogfight performance and will have an energy and position advantage because he can climb over you and spam sparrows before merging.

The F1C has the worst maneuverability among its peers. Its fast in a straight line and has 2 magic2, that’s all

J-7E absolutely rails the Mirage F1 in a dogfight, like you’d have to be falling asleep to lose this.

You can flare magic 2s…

you can notch/multipath PD radar missiles…

Besides that the J-7E just has to survive the first merge (not difficult) then it just, again, RAILS the Mirage F1.

You cant get a “well placed” magic 2 against a j7e in a 1v1

You are completely out of touch with reality, don’t get me wrong, the J7E is an excellent plane, but we are talking about a match up against a plane that is almost a whole br different from it.
we are talking about a plane that has access to one of the best IR missiles in the game, early acess top tier IR missile.
If it was a guns only fight, the advantage would be j7e’s, but in a conventional fight j7e against a mirage f1c, j7e is at a disadvantage, let’s be realistic.
we are talking about a plane that was recently flown at 11.3 versus a 12.0.

If you take a magic 2 from a short distance, with enough time for the active proximity fuse (0.5s) , it’s a very difficult missile to deal with.
Depending on the angle and distance it is unflarable( like every missile with irccm)

mirage just needs to shorten the distance enough for j7e to lose some energy and get a shot

The same goes against the f4s, at long distances it has an advantage but if the mirage f1c shortens the distance due to the magic 2 the f4s is at a disadvantage.

it’s a simple fact.

All of your arguments consist of mistakes made by the Mirages F1C player against a supposed player who makes perfect decisions.(either from f4s or j7e)

? again, J-7E RAILS the Mirage f1 in the flight model department and you can flare magic 2s so there is no way for the f1 to win here assuming the j7e doesnt make big mistakes

im not saying that like, in air rb the mirage f1 wouldnt be able to kill the j7e but i am saying in no way is that some guaranteed loss like you’re saying it is above

You can preflare in those exact situations, and because the radar of the F1C sucks to slave the missile, preflaring is even more effective
