You do understand for them to move up is a better idea than to add yet more stuff into the mix
I think a lesson was learned because both the subsequent F-5E and F/A-18C were fairly unmodified xD

Those jets are usually easy enough to kill in the late subsonics and it doesn’t stop there.
There are many 9.3 supersonics of similar calibre.
Compression is an issue but why must Mirage III be ppaced in an unfavourable Br?
It would be more competitive at lower Br without Magic.
This can not be an issue since we already have similar aircraft at 9.7 and below.
those 9.3 super sonics used to be 10.0 E.G mig19
They got moved down Due to the addition of the su25 and A10, it literally compressed from 10.0 all the way down to 7.0 , as all the legacy air craft got moved out of the range of the mig19s, f104s etc etc. at 9.3
Yeah it would be more competitive stomping 8.7s like the venom, or the CL13s ?
no it should not go down below it.
you seem to not grasp that im telling you those air craft bellow 10.0 should be moved up
The advent of the A10 and Su25 completely compressed that entire area.
We do not need yet more planes in the 8.7-9.7 match maker that will cause even more compression.
You’ve used these planes a lot, you know fine well it would destroy the majority if not the entire lobby of 9.7 and down.
the plane Isnt just two missiles

It is not but you overlook that you wont be changing the compression issue.
In thensituation we have at hand Mirage IIIC would be fine at 9.7 without magic.
It is that simple.
MiG-21S, Milan etc.
The mirage perfromance is better than that.of a milan…
It would.not be fine at all, it would add yet even more pressure, likely either causing the 8.7 bracket to empty even more, causing more uptiers. Or force the 8.7s down.
If you keep adding things to a pile you realise it pushes down.
Again, the platform is not 2 missiles, a mirage 3C is still a fantastic platform.
Not true.
No one said Mirage IIIC is not fantastic but it would be better suited to 9.7.
Do not act as if Gaijin would not adjust Br depending on missiles.
If you want to continue this let’s switch to PM’s.

They should! Would be crazy to give it all aspect SIWA’a, but keep it so low.
And would be atrocious to not give them those missiles…
The FALCOs / AIM-26`es are really nice . They are slow but they pull nicely if given the chance. Should make it interesting to duel M21s that rely on their R3Rs
Theres nothing to continue at all. There’s no point.
He’s talking about a 3C with aim9B’s at 9.7. which realistically makes no sense, as it would cause more compression.
The mirage that is being implemented should get the right missiles though , like it would make it genuinely a unique plane in of itself rather than just tossed in at 10.3 or 10.7 with generic sidewinders like 9Es, it should get the missiles it used.
Generally I prefer vehicles to have access to their full kit, tehn BR reflect that.
Like what they did with vextra for ages was just wrong, keeping it at 9.7 with the wrong round.

As much as I love this, the Mirage as it is should not get the P-5 IRCCM missile, for balance reasons. The BR increase (to 12.0 I would guess) would make the airframe totally obsolete. I’d much rather have the P-4 all aspect or the normal P-3 at ~11.0 or 10.3 respectively. That would make for a much better experience I would say.
Why 10.3 with the p-3?
it would be 10.7 with the 3E likely.
Id rather see it with its full kit, if its 12.0 then its 12.0, the p-5s would make it so its not obsolete.

The Hunter has the P-3 at 10.0 (the 63/80; normal AIM-9P in game)
The MiG-21SMT/MF has R-60 at 10.3
The Mirage 5BA has 9Js at 10.3
The Mirage 5F Magic 1s at 10.0
The Mirage IIIC has Magic 1s at 10.0
I can go on with this list
So I don’t think the IIIS with 9Ps would be so out of place at 10.3.
12.0 at the very least. 2 P-5s against tons of sparrows, R-24s and way better aircraft, like the F-18 or F-16. Totally not obsolete. It would be mercilessly outmatched. And the P-5s and the Falcons are not as good (in a long shot) as someting another upgraded aircraft, the 21Bison, has.
So no. 9P-5s are not a good addition to this aircraft, even if it had them historically.
The stock grind would be atrocious and the aircraft DOA.

I can agree to that. Give them the 9P-4. They were used historically, albeit only for training whereas the 9P-5 was the wartime ordonnance.
Still IRCCM missiles are not unheard of at even 11.7, so it would not be too far of a stretch, considering the other disadvantages the IIIS would have at e.g. 12.0…
Ah, but for now, the reports have been sent, the Dies are cast - we’ll just have to wait and see how they fall… ;-)

The issue is, the 11.7s found with IRCCM missiles e.g the A10C is, its extremely slow for the BR, like you’re talking its near half the speed of a mirage 3C, as well as that if you remove said missiles, it drops a full BR.
TBH it likely would benefit from the P-4s and sit at 10.7 same idea as the 3E, and if performance shows it do a lot better then possibly 11.0. (if it performs extremely well, seeing as the bis and mig23M sit at 11.0 as well)
As you say we just have to wait and see !! itll definitely be more intersting with P-4/5s In my opinion
I would rather see the C.70 with P5 myself.
Unless Gaijin wants to rule out the possible downtier to 11.7 I could see it being 11.7.
If it is 12.0 give it the 2 P5’s stock and be done with it.
I have had enough of overtiered Mirage III/5/50 variants running around the map without having a definitive missile or chance to engage in BFM without setting itself up for suicide.
C.70 at 11.7/12.0 would be a dangerous machine again without having to drag someone to the outskirts to dogfight or snipe some unaware or preocupied enemy.
Unfortunately with P-5’s id see it hitting 12.0, purely due to teh fact it A has counter measures and B is a mirage platform with decent avionics.
If it can mount 4 P-5s it owuld be ideal at 12.0 TBH
Though what form of SARH(if any can it use)?
None besides AIM-26B which is useless that high anyway.
I would rather have it with IRCCM at a higher Br though.
You know what I think about a early variant without the canards and with AIM-9B/E only. 😉
It can’t. 2x SIWA, 2x FALCO, that’s it.

12.0 mirage 3e… that sounds horrendous. literally only 1 br lower than the mirage 2k which is an upgrade is ltierally every single way. no thank you
