EXT / INT in PCA

I don't know if the case was discussed before (i don't think so) but the manual mention EXT and INT as:

EXT: Unknow, probably simultaneous rocket release.

INT: Unknow, probably individual rocket release.

 

I guess EXT stands for "Extérieur" (exterior) and INT for "Intérieur" (interior)... But i don't know if that makes sens in rockets context.

I noticed that too, forgot to post about it though, it's an interesting question.

My guess is that you may load more that two rocket pods and thus select which one you want to shoot (if loaded with different types of rockets).

I don't know where those additional rocket pods would be placed though.

-> On magic pylons? Too heavy?

-> On wing root pylons? What about rocket exhaust directly into the engine intake?

-> On twin racks? I doubt they can command separate pods.

Per the manual, rocket pods can be placed on all 4 wing pylons. Only the inner wing pylons are enabled in M-2000C.lua at this time, however.

Yep, after a quick research I found a couple of diagrams suggesting that the 2000D was able to carry the rocket pods in all 4 wing pylons, so it makes sense.

Irak did it with Mirage F1 to strike Iran islands.

 

In France I suspect it was done more for training purpose. It was used in Cambrai, 1000km north of Istres where tankers are based.

Well, the mentionned 2x internal guns should have been a give-away that it's not just the D ;)

I think that chart does come from a game. Looked nice though, but not very realistic (might be a mix for a generic Mirage-2000).

The wiki page for the C only states "rockets" and "up to 4 pods" for the D.

So I assume the airframe is capable of carrying them.

This and the fact that "EXT" and "INT" ended up in RAZBAM's Mirage-2000C are good hints that we could have them.

But nothing is certain...
