Man the Mirage III E is so “fun” that the only way to play this thing at 10.7 is to waste money on stupid GE to get a decent missile or be stupid enough to spade it. And unfortunately I’m the latter option. Cause the devs refuse to touch its loadout that hasn’t been touched or looked at from the bygone era. Oh boys it gets Magic 1’s but requires at least 86k points worth of research just to get to stupid things. It has to compete with AIM-9D/E/G/L/J/N/Ps, AIM-7’s, R-24s, R-60/M/MKs, PL-5/7s, and what ever I haven’t labeled (most of them are rank 2/3 modifications). Meanwhile the Mirage 5 F is 10.0 with stock Magic 1s. Is there a actual way to grind this or does everyone just skip it? Asking because I’m starting to get a migraine playing this thing.
Mirage 3C is far superior. 3E sacrifices performance for a higher BR and additional weight in exchange for flares and an RWR.
Agreed, while the Mirage IIIE is great as well, the IIIC is really the better option purely due to its BR, flight performance and keeping the same Magic + Matra loadout that practically guarantees 2-3 kills a match if you position correctly and choose targets without flares and fire magics from 1km~ and the SARH from 8-12km at altitude.
Also there is a J-7D in the same BR lol
Gun kills.
Not quite these days.
Lol I disagree. I play it quite often and have a positive KD in the jet.
I also am doing well in itbut that is not what I was refering to.
Cannons are very useful on Mirage III/5.
So many aircraft you face have countermeasures now.
Missile kills still happen a lot but are much less likely in matches were almost anyone has countermeasures.
2-3 kills per match as you said is laying it on very thick.
