In order to make the posts more readable, I edited all the YouTube links so they show correctly:

Hello guys!

 

After many many test I found some usefull tactic with e M2K and his missiles.

 

I made this tutorial and tests because I like this aircraft and Ive seen many people struglin with it!

 

This tactics have been tested in a SP enviorement with 90% chance of winning in a 1V1 Scenario. In MP is at least at 35% chance of winning (Consider this as a very high numbers in the beta test of the aircraft and Radar against better missiles and radars)

 

This was done against russian aircraft

 

There are more values that can work or not, so here is it, is not 100% exact

 

First of all, you need to get speed, always, think your plane like a slingshot, you need to get impuse of your missiles.

 

Modern Targets

 

High Height. (28.000 feet to 48.000 feet)

 

Eastern Figthers (R27 ER / R27R / R40R / R3R etc)

 

 

-This Height is the best for this plane an missiles.

The optimal settings I found are these:

-Radar in 30 degrees scan

-Target Memory on (Right)

-Lock your target using RDO mode, it will autolock, then press lock againt to PIC (STT)

-Enable your Jammer.

-Shoot at 21/20 Miles

-If you doing good, two missiles, friendly and enemy must be in the air.

-At the last part of the combat, he may break down, this will give your IR missiles advantage

 

With all of this, you must expect the enemy to launch before than you, you will have no notice, but with the Jammer, the R27ER will launch at around 30 Miles.

 

Dont change your course! Never!, you must stare at your target (Remember is a 1v1 enviorement) and if you notice something out of the square lock, like a dot, if you suspect is the missile, comence with the maneuouvers! use the roll, you will lose not much speed, but the missile, out of fuel will bleed its speed!

 

When doing this take the Square as the boresight! roll around it while dropping flares!

you will see the missile aproach, keep roling at it will fail.

 

Now we are on a good terrain, first of all, you need to get closer and closer to your target. at this state you should be at 15/10 miles if he hadnt change his course., Shoot your other S530D.

 

That will keep enemy busy and still maneouvering , your first missile is almost empty of energy.

 

And when you close enough, shoot your Magics, if you see the enemy is turning towards you, shoot if you can, make him turn and finish him later.

 

Western Figthers (Aim 120C/B / Aim 7)

 

 

The tricks here were these

 

-Get more Height than him, his 120 are very high

-Maximize the Speed in an extreme

-At range of 25 Miles of him, Enable ECM and trust in speed for incoming missiles (This will help, if his missiles are on pitbull)

-At 25 Miles also dive to his level or maintin if he had climbed, maximize the speed

- Dont give him a centimeter of relax! push to him!

-When you are very close, attack with the force of a Train, dont change course, head on, your speed and chaff will help to evade the incoming missiles

-Luck

-You must see much times the Radar display, IA usually changes course and speed when shooting 120, in this Test I make like if was Human

 

Low Height

 

Eastern Figthers

 

 

- For low Height targets you must use your missiles in max range, even if you know is not going to hit him. (The Suer 530D will have deceased his range to 10 Miles instead of 20)

- Every time he locks you, try to shoot, if you see a missile, use the roll maneouver

- Dont stay too low.

-Bleed his speed as much as you can

- Finish him with Ir or cannon

-If necesary (In MP enviorement) Launch your IR without lock, he will turn back and will prevent him for sooting an IR

 

Old Targets

 

Against these targets it is the same as modern, but your missile should get to him faster than his missile

 

Eastern Figthers

 

 

-In this mode you can shot in Max range without problems.

-If the target maneouvers, use roll to keep him on your radar cone

-Drop chaff as you get closer, he may shoot.

- Chaff and enemy ECM no as effective as modern ones against S530 and radar lost

 

 

This is WIP and not works 100% of the time but close, may change with updates!

I hope I helped! Sorry for my English!

Just add tips if you know!

 

In the video you can see atleast, it works graphicaly

 

 

ECM works right now like an FC3 Aircrfat

 

I made it!

I killed an F15 in BVR! is a very hard work!

This works 1/3 Times be aware!

 

(Im starting to fear what good Mirage pilots can do in a High Height enviorement)

 

As promised, here is a survivable way to perform BVR with the mirage:

 

 

p.s My 6 G pulls from left to right and back again could be smoother and flown better...but you get the idea.

 

For the original posters: Thanks for your nice videos!
