Today i made a bug report about the absence of the AIM-9P, AIM-9P-4 and AIM-9P-5 on the Mirage IIIS C.70 for the swiss subtree in germany. My bug report, had a manual in it from 1985 btw, where you can clearly see that the Mirage IIIS C.70 had some version of the AIM-9P under its pylons. And what do you know Gaijin chooses to ignore this and label my report as Not Enough Information. I might just be dumb but and have missed something but from what i can see it clearly has a AIM-9P under its wing
i mean I feel gaijin knows that the mirage 3S has aim9P +p4+p5, but it would be a very sad plane at too high a BR if it got the p4 or p5, so really they are sparing you suffering of a higher BR, 10.3 is a great BR cause it wont have to fight mig23ML spam, so really you dont want it to get better missiles
My take: if Gaijin would have wanted an AIM-9E armed Mirage IIIS, they would/should have gone with the pre-upgrade / pre-KAWEST 85 variant, not the one with canards, RWR, CMS…
The modelled IIIS C.70 is undisputedly a post-KAWEST 85 modification, so should have 9P-3/-4/-5 and an accordingly fitting BR.
Totally agree with you Circleati i dont think that it should get the p4 or p5 but the regular AIM-9P why not? the hunter has it a a lower BR the other mirages in the french tech tree have either the AIM-9J wich is just the same as the AIM9P or the Magic 1 so why cant the Mirage IIIS have it?
In short: there’s probably no aircraft I’m more passionate about than the Mirage, so I am very attentive of it’s current state, bug reports, information, discussions, etc, because I REALLY want them to get it right… ;-)
I agree the P is probably fair, but it depends on how the aim26 performs and if it would warrant a BR increase over the mirage 5BA, the mirage 3E is not in a great spot at 10.7 in my opinion and without a better engine the mirage 3S would be in a similar situation
