To be clear the FR mirage at 12.7 can take PGMs alongside micas, so it is clearly better, therefore the CN one needs to go down and fight like early phantoms and stuff. With micas.
Yeah no, you are not going to “better” with this no matter the scale of mental gymnastics.
I used to think the GR1 at 11.3 until I recently learned that the F4E is also 11.3 whilst being able to carry double the FnF munitions whilst also carrying 4 radar missiles and not having one of the worst flight models and energy retention in the game.
