AMIR & MIRO forever
Goodbye AMIR
Goodbye MIRO
Ahhh, home, sweet home…
How I miss those times. = (
IIRC the absolute lowest supersonic platform with IRCCM missiles is the Mirage F1 and the premium variant.
The Magic 2 isn’t really IRCCM, is it?
Im pretty sure it has FoV gate, unless you refer to something else.
and that’s how it should stay. Im personally very happy with a 10.3 Mirage with decent SARH and 9Es. I cant understand why people want P5’s on it .
I get why people hate when aircrafts get “Early” & “Late” variants in the TT, but im gonna have a spicy take, i think these solve lot of issues with aircraft payloads.
We could have current Mirage IIIS as early variant and later get IIIS late variant with allaspects.
Both camps get what they want.
Because the variant that they modelled was the modernized one with better aerodynamics, better RWR, countermeasures and, yes, better missiles!
Like now they’re the 85-99 aircraft with 69-75 weapons, which makes no sense.
If they had aimed for a 10.3 MIRO with early missiles, they should hae modelled that one, not the one with canards etc.
Yes, absolutely - but then wit the correct early model:
Just think about it: It would be a bit similar like giving the Germans the F-4F KWS but restrict its weapon load to the one the non-upgraded F-4F had. (Note KWS in the Phantom stands for KampfWertSteigerung - “combat value improvement”, just as the expression KAWEST for the modernized Mirage IIIS does…)
(Well, not exactly, but that direction.)
Say Buccaneer S.2B, but with none of its characteristic weapons, only weapons of the S.2 or even S.1…
Or F-104S ASA but with F-104G’s weapons only.
Either you do one (which is perfectly fine), or you do the other (which is also perfectly fine). Just not merge the two unrealistically together.
And for the Swiss F-5E, they did exactly the same thing…
