I’ve already made a topic about what Russia’s tier 8 premium jet was going to be a month ago and since we already know it’s the Su-30Mk2 AMV I’m wondering if France might get a shittier or decent Mirage 2000, or another copy and paste F-16 premium, what do you think?

Mirage F.1 MF-2000 with RDY-3 Radar, MICA-EM/IR but similar Maneuvrability than actual Mirages F.1’s
I wonder if Rafale A ever had any sort of operational equipment (similarly to Mirage 4000)
If so, it would make for a neat premium (Initial F404 powered)
nope - never armed (not even mock-up)
Well, that’s a shame…
but C01 / M01 / B01 were using at least mock ups
Apparently it was presented with some weapons at Farnborough 1986 airshow
There are also some photos with red missiles (dummy ones, I assume) on the fuselage, presumably MICAs
i’ve seen with only Magic-smoke like in wing tips, but nothing like this one : have you some photos to share here?
Potentially
same as MF2000 ^^’
There are some export models of the Mirage 2000 (the 2000E models) that could be interesting. I believe both Egypt and Qatar operated models that have the ability to launch guided bombs with a targeting pod besides their standard A2A armament.
Prior to Su-30MK2, it used to be the case that Gaijin added two types of rank 8 jet vehicles:
A 3rd generation aircraft that fires fox-3s:
Viggen D
Or
A 4th generation aircraft that fires fox-3s;
Swiss Hornet
Hornet Early
F-2A ADTW
Canadian Hornet
MiG-29 Sniper
This meant a Mirage 2000 with Super 530D or a Mirage F1with MICAs would fit right in.
But the addition of the Su-30MK2 broke the door right open for an addition of a Mirage 2000 with MICAs since it was a 4th gen aircraft with Fox-3 missiles.
And if Gaijin was greedy, they’d see the potential with it due to the Rafale’s performance as well as it potentially coming this December during the holidays.
Currently the Mirage F1 premium is the second most played premium plane in the game, a Mirage 2000 with MICAs would shoot up the chart easily crushing sales expectations.
Hopefully the addition of more premium players would mean that the Rafale’s winrate and statistics continue to go down.
France is the last country left to get rank 8 premium jet as of this recent update.
