I haven't had many issues with locking on MiG-21s with my PL-5s. It takes a bit of work but I have even forgot to uncage the seeker and still managed to lock. It is like using a AIM-9M.
-
That is the only way I know to get rid of the mirror.
-
I was about to say I haven't had an issue with the mk82SE accuracy or the BLG-66. Different employment profiles. One I dive at 30deg the other I come in low, level and fast.
-
So I wanted to say...I love the update. At first I was a little caught off guard because my CMD FWD, AFT, and Depress no longer worked... Had to remap them back to the hat I had them on... While in flight. That was fun. But I managed to take out a half dozen vehicles on the Hoggit Georgia at War server in my Mirage... And put the bombs pretty accurately on target with the updates to the CCIP line. Haven't really had a chance to mess with the ground avoidance radar setting yet. And yep the BAP100s work great against soft targets bunched together. And was there a change to the throttle performance? It feels a bit more responsive.
-
Lastly.... The Exorcet missile. The 2000 can use these. The only difference is the radar on the aircraft.
-
I had to use google translate because my French is non-existent. But I don't care about fox-3 missiles. They are nice but my favorite servers are fox-1 mission sets. I often put AIM-7s on my Hornet. And if you can't counter a F-14 by now something is wrong. Yes the AIM-54 is nasty but don't play their game. Force them low... Where the phoenix is not such am advantage. As for the air to ground role. The aircraft is extremely limited. Hell the MiG-21 is nearly as capable. And the MiG-29A is as capable. As for the BAP yeah those are cool but any aircraft can bomb a runway. 1 Su-27 with 24 bombs can deny a whole runway much the same in game. The F/A-18 can do it also with 500lb mk82s. To be frank. There is no match currently in DCS for anything the BlueFor have in high fidelity modules or low fidelity modules. There is one... Modern high fidelity redfor module.

The 5F can do much more than fire fox-3s. Self lase, use tpod, more hardpoints, glass cockpit, improved engine response, improved radar. And you don't need the support of the french Airforce. The Greek, UAE, Indian and several other nations use the -5F model. Which is more of a Desault F-16C Blk50 than the current 2kC. Which is more like a F-16A.
-
I know many of us would pay good money for the -5F option for our Mirage 2000s. What is the real reason we won't get it?

Terrible unbalance affecting Redforce doctrine.

I am not talking about generalized information briefs like that. I am talking about hard facts on what their capabilities are. -

There is a lot to unpack in your post. ECM is one thing ED doesn't do well no matter what side it is. They know this. But getting actual ECM data from any nation, even going back as far as 50 years is nearly impossible. -
The master caution alarm. It is loud, and as far as I know there is no adjustment for it by design.
-
I am not sure of the Mirages limitations on max number of tracked targets. But it looked like it was tracking to many targets and updating them as the radar got a return and dropping the previous sweep. I love the Mirage but its radar is a little dated.
-
That is due to your radar updating the position of the contacts based on the sweep. If you notice some of the contacts are on the first bar sweep the others are on the lower bar sweep. Saw a video by a content creator who has the new module updates .. and I look forward to using the BAP-100s for anything other than hitting runways..lol.
-
One technical question. Will this be more accurate. I have found 82SEs fall long and slicks also. But BLG-66 fall short.
-
Unfortunately I don't have the memory on my PC to do a comparison video or the skills to put together a mission and the video edits. I have flown the Av8b, Hornet, Mig-29, su25, 25T, 27 and 33. And the smaller rocket pods on all of those feel far more lethal than the Mirage rockets. I mean they are 68mm rockets right? That is a little smaller than the 2.75" rockets on the Harrier and Hornet, and smaller than the UB-32 rocket pods which are 57mm. Again I am not expecting to take out tanks, but to at least take out light armored vehicles like the BMP-1 and 2...
-
Nice.. so now I can finally hit something.
-
So most other rockets fired from pods are pretty useful against a variety of soft targets. It seems like the rockets on the Mirage are more of a really good suggestion. And less of a lethal weapon.
-
One question about the original post. The bomb que line you mentioned that there is a separate marker for the last bomb vs the first bomb. I believe that is what is said. I don't really see it on my phone in that picture.
-
"Soon"
-
I will need a tutorial video on all these new changes... Because I will default to the drop as many bombs as possible in an area and hope for one hit. Carpet bombing...works 50% of the time, all the time.
-
Once you get the hang of the Mirage slow speed handling and how easy it is to land. You really won't want to fly anything else.
-
I like your pretty words magic man.
-
The magic 2 is far better than the PL-5 and the 9L. It is by far one of the better ACM missiles.
-
You have well over a hundred chaff. You can spare a few.
