Wacko_ZA Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 the E is not minor. Quick question. Not being snotty or anything, but apart from the angolan war, did the e ever see combat anywhere in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHDT Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 By "minor versions", I meant local variants used by only a country. I would be happy with a C. I would be happy with a E. I would buy them in a heartbeat. Others versions not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHelljumper Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The Israel version is a good choice too, as long as we have a E or C with it :).

Kev2go Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Quick question. Not being snotty or anything, but apart from the angolan war, did the e ever see combat anywhere in the world? Did the Viggen see combat anywhere ( Let alone get any export sales)? No. i dont think that is a reason to preclude an aircraft or a specific varation into DCS. its just the E is more capable as well as versatile, with its A2G radar, and more munition types compared to the C. direct combat usage aside If we count the export variations for specif nations of the MIIIE than yeah it too has seen widespread service. I think those arguments will fall flat. i see what you did there :D Edited February 13, 2017 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not excluding anything. So. If you are done trollling... yes i responded to give my 2 cents on the relevance of the 3E, and to answer the question. Apparently because you aren't satisfied with my answer that of course turns me into a troll somehow :doh: Others like Jojo gave thier answers too no need to get overly sensitive against mine.

tete4Ywis Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) If there's a vote, I vote for the C. Not interested in minor versions. The E definetly isn't a minor version, it was more produced than the C and was the main variant in France as well as many foreign costumers.

mattebubben Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I was talking of the Israelis C versions, not the E. I would so prefer a standard French C, than a "minor version" C. Same here. Always prefer to have the Standard variant of the nation that designed it and used it the most then one of the export variants. So i would also prefer the Mirage IIIC over an export CJ (or any other Export IIIC variant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really :music_whistling: France never had Mirage F1 as advanced as Iraqi Mirage F1 EQ6 standard. Mirage 2000-9 is the most advanced one. Mirage fanatic !

HAE5904 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 For the record, the - CJ was NOT downgraded. In fact it was operationally upgraded from a pure high altitude interceptor into a multi functional fighter. It retained the original radar the French used, but only discarded the rocket pack. The late '50s and early' 60s cannot be compared to today's standards of customers getting downgraded material due to political issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tete4Ywis Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Same here, plus France always downgrade export equipment. Both would be best :). Yeah no,Dassault actually added 2 additional hardpoint for the israeli version to feat the tactical figher conception they had of the fighter they wanted to buy (by oppostion to the strategical interceptor conception the armée de l'air had of the fighter) Essentially hardpoints went from 3 to 5 Also, the best verison of the M2000 and Mirage F1 are export versions (respectively the M2000-9 and the Mirage F1 astrac upgrade) In regards to the rocket pack, it wasn't even a downgrade, the israeli weren't interrested in it in the first place, they asked for it to be replaced by extra fuel.
