I’d love for more modernized Mirages.
MF2000, ROSE IV, 50EV, and whatever else would be cool.
what i want is a mirage 4000 with micas even though it may not be completely realistic it did have the technical capability
Any source to back that up? Not that we can’t trust a random drawing, but we actually can’t
Yeah so why would they upgrade the N001VE to the N001VEP, if they could have just turned it into a Sm3
N001VEP page mentions RVV-SD for an modernization update later on, im assuming the SM3 only got those as part of the SM3 upgrade package since that is what has been reported most times

not that i can find but the mica development started in 1982 and the mirage 4000 last flew in 1988 and it was designed with the capability to carry the mica but never went to mass production therefore didnt use them and it apparently would have been able to take 14
Nothing can be added without a proof
That means nothing. The Mirage 4000 was designed and built in the late 70s, so before 1982, and it’s not at all obvious that it was integrated afterwards. So…
…You’re gonna have to prove that statement because it does NOT go by itself
yeah im aware of that
the project started in 1979 and ended in 1988 the mica development started in 1982 and begun first trials in 1991 i dont have a source but i do know that the mirage 4000 was built with intent to carry both the MICA-EM and MICA-IR but because the project was to costly and the other potential buyers was the middle east the project didnt go ahead
the mirage 4000 had technical capability i can try find a source but it never used the missile, on the other hand if it did go into service with the french airforce it would almost 100% carry micas specifically about 12 of them on all the magic 2 pylons plus 4 underbelly ones
No i do not have a source but i can try go find something for you if needed im just going off what i remember
Not only that, Magic-less Mirage 3C early lots or 3A.
I want to do starfighter style hit and run at 9.3

They won’t have Sidewinders apparently (Unless we get a mid life 3C) but there are always AFK orbiters around that BR range so R530 will have a field day

Well yes, that’s pretty obvious. But that’s a different matter to the technical compatibility with the prototype.
How do you know it then, if you don’t have any source to give?
Btw I don’t know that all very well but afaik the RDM and RDI are not compatible with MICA-EM, so that’s that off the list.
MICA-IR I could see that, but that was built later than the EM right? So…
i read it somewhere a while ago but i cant find it
mica ir started development around the same time maybe a couple years later
There should be an appropriate Mirage F1 to put around 11.x such that useless Super 530 would still be useless but the vehcile will come in early 1980s configuration
I hate labeling vehicles early and late, so I will search for a good named variant
I relate to this so much
i swear i find great sources for things save them for another time then they dissapear off the face off the earth

Imo they should lower the F1C to 11.3 with Magic 1 and keep the F1CT at 12.0. I mean, atm the C and CT are really similar so it would make sense no?
Or, they could just add another variant and arbitrarily give it Magic 1 at 11.3 to fill that gap. Like, idk, a B or CR or something?

CR is ideal. It still retains fighting ordnance options I suppose.
But just like all French vehicles at ranks VI to VIII, nobody mains radar missiles so better have F-8P with two Magic 2s at 11.3

Yup! The B loses its internal guns but you still have access to the gun pods which are super light, so it also works I guess
F-8P would be really nice as well (if it gets countermeasures, otherwise unplayable). But that wouldn’t stop me from playing a 11.3 F1 with magics

So…how much longer until the B-52 can use its tail gunner without having to use first person camera?
