Hi guys, I think there are several post about this, but my question is, the real Mirage 2000C speed is the one simulated in DCS? or the one in Wikipedia?
Performance
Maximum speed: Mach 2.2 (2,336 km/h, 1,451 mph) at high altitude/ 1,110 km/h (690 mph) at low altitude
Range: 1,550 km (837 nmi, 963 mi) with drop tanks
Ferry range: 3,335 km (1,800 nmi, 2,073 mi) with auxiliary fuel
Service ceiling: 17,060 m (59,000 ft)
Rate of climb: 285 m/s (56,000 ft/min)
Wing loading: 337 kg/m² (69 lb/ft²)
Thrust/weight: 0.7 at loaded weight
my question come, because Im flying in DCS and see how easy the M2000C is capable to catch a SU-27S at low altitude, while the SU-27S specs are:
Performance
Maximum speed:
At altitude: Mach 2.35 (2,500 km/h, 1,550 mph)
At sea level: 1,400 km/h, 870 mph[102]

Service ceiling: 19,000 m (62,523 ft)
Rate of climb: 300 m/s[104] (59,000 ft/min)
Wing loading: 377.9 kg/m2 (444.61 kg/m2 with full fuel) (77.3 lb/ft2 with 56% fuel)
Thrust/weight: 1.07 with 56% internal fuel; 0.907 with full fuel
Maximum g-load: +9 g
