Rick50 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 For your consideration: the Dassault Mirage III Why? Because it was the F-16 of half the world, before the F-16! If you were a nation of modest means and needed a good fighter jet, the Mirage was a great choice! Found in many conflicts both famous and forgotten, it served for many decades. Yes, i know we have the 2000, but that's a more modern creature, it's not in the 1960's or 70's era of fighter jet history, and since those years are a significant gap in what DCS offers, I propose the Mirage 3. Similarly, maybe consider the Mirage F.1 as well, yes I know there's a F1 mod, and it does look good, but it doesn't use a proper cockpit, instead using either the Eagle or Fulcrum pit, and seems to have issues running after updates, not sure if it'll pass an integrity check either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_III Oh, and one more thing: many featured lot's of shiny bare aluminum, and that looks awesome with today's rendering!
Evoman Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Here is a good video about the Yom Kapor war in which The Mirage III was used. An interesting part of this video is what one of Israels top Ace said about the difference between the Mirage III and the F-16 @42.09 min towards the end. The Mirage III was one of the last pure fighter jet experiences there were. Just by my experience with the F-14 and the F-16 I can already tell that the F-16 is a very easy to fly computer dampened experience but with the F-14 you can actually feel like you are in full control of it. And I love all the feed back that the aircraft gives off. Edited April 22, 2020 by Evoman
Jester986 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Razbam may be doing a Mirage 3 for their Falklands map. Previously they said it will be a full module but they've been more reserved about that lately. Also Aviodev is doing a Mirage F1 when they finish the C-101. They had posted some pictures awhile ago but those are pretty dated now.
Rick50 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 Jester, thanks for the heads up! I was not aware of those two projects! Evoman, see THAT is what I'm talking about! Raptors are awesome jets, but the 60's and 70's did have action and history, be quite cool to use in DCS when we get the chance!
Bozon Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Razbam may be doing a Mirage 3 for their Falklands map. Previously they said it will be a full module but they've been more reserved about that lately. ... There were no Mirage III news in ages. Even if it is in the works it will be years before it is released. Too bad. After the Mosquito FB.VI this is the module I want the most. “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!
