Mixing 530D and AG Weapons Realistic?

[Ultra]

This has been somewhat discussed before, but I am now seeing what seem to be contrasting statements since I last read the subject. Here is a past response from Zeus:

"Oh man cant wait to mount AA missiles for CAP and a pair of GBU's just in case The CAS people need a bit help. You guys making a happy man here"

 

Zeus67

"AA and AG weapons mix is no problem. AG weapons mix is dubious in a multiple release scenario."

 

 

And here is the updated M2000C manual

"However, due to limitations of the targeting computer, it is not possible to mix Super 530D missiles with air-to-ground weapons"

 

So did Zeus originally mean AA missiles only in the form of Magics or did they change their minds? Also, in reality, if it isn't possible to use 530's with AG weapons, could the radar still be used in AA search modes while carrying AG weapons or simply in the AG targeting modes?

 

I know in-game we can mix ordnance.

 

Thanks!

Maybe a mistake corrected during development...

 

But here it is:

- don't mix Super 530D + AG weapons.

- don't mix different types of AG weapons.

- Magic 2 are always available.

- all radar mode are always available, no matter what the payload.

 

Remember that Mirage 2000C was fielded in 1986, your smartphone probably have more computing power, and a memory capacity nobody was dreaming of in that time. So there were some avionic limitation.

 

Anyway, Super 530D are big missiles for such small fighter. You don't need to carry extra weight with AG stuff...

Thank you!

That clears it all up.
