Mirage 50 would be better for french squadron vehicle. Switzerland should be released as an independent or alpine tt.

In whichever capacity the sooner we get it the better.

For the U.S TT it would be good

Cheap bait

Was it a proper HUD or just a gun sight? And do you know if it had any automatic target lead for the guns?

Also, what are the standard names for the suspended armaments? I’m guessing:
Flz Lwf LL 63: AIM-9
Flz Lwf LL 64: AIM-26
Flz Lwf LB 66: AS-30

Just a gun sight, no HUD. Have to check about gun lead, but there is at least an A/G and an A/A mode (took image of a running sight recently at anniversary of Mirage Club, but couldn’t delve into it more as my little one accidently cut his fingers on the sharp edges of an exhibited AIM-9 rolleron… facepalm)


A/G sight.


A/A sight.

You’re correct re. missile designations. Swiss Mirages flew with AIM-9B, E, P-3, P-4 and finally P-5:

LB-66 NORAS (Nord AS.30) in the front, LL 64 FALCO (AIM-26 Falcon / HM-55S) in the back.

And here the club’s IIIS (we also have a semi-operational IIIRS) with two FALCO and two SIWA:

Interesting, so the AIM-9P-5 should actually have a reduced smoke motor? And the P-4 wasn’t actually used by the SAF? (or only the training variants at least)

AFAIK the P-4 was only purchased because the P-5 were not ready yet.

So for training rounds (inert motor, but working seeker) the P-4 was used, as the IRCCM and smokeless motor of the P-5 would only be relevant after the launch, so for training the P-4 offered everything that was needed (all aspect).

A miniscule disappoint, but honestly understandable (I had the very stupid hope that the Swiss somehow gave it a full HUDWAC lmao)
I would still fly the everliving crap out of this thing if it got added

Namely thanks to this video:
