I love the Mirage-2000C so much in DCS I wonder if we will see more advanced version of the aircraft.

[Life Pilgrim]

The thing is Mirage-2000C can't attack ships. Neither can it fly/conduct combat at night actually. The Mirage-2000 5F solved this.

I want the Rafale but meh it's too new...

[Vilab]

the mirage -5F doesn t solve that

the 5F is air-air only

Mirage 5 is a ground attack fighter...radarless, meant for Middle eastern customers. Originally without radar, but Radar is also an option for most other variants....

The Mirage 5F air to air is secondary ability.

Its slightly much more modern than Mirage 3.


Would love to see a different Mirage like the F1 model.

Yeah, you're right but it can sortie at night....He means the Mirage-2000-5F

[CommandDork]

Mirage 2000 was my first module and the one I keep coming back to over the others. So much to like about that one.

[Life Pilgrim]

Yeah, it made me regret buying the MiG-21 bis, Ka-50, and Combined Arms...haha

How is the Ka 50 ?

Mig 21? Its a challenging plane to land...

[Life Pilgrim]

The Ka-50 is probably the most complex aircraft to learn after the A-10C.
MiG-21 bis is pretty easy to learn but u can't enjoy it much online. The radar is ♥♥♥♥ and it doesn't have fly-by-wire controls so it's a bit 'sensitive' or jumpy.....

[ELi]

I like the Ka-50.
It's complex in terms of many buttons and systems but pretty easy to fly and do the basic stuff like firing the cannon, and even launching one or 12 Vikhr.

but the mig21 sounds tho. just that rumbling roar makes it worth it. I dont own it but i really want to.

Mig-21 is the cold war interceptor. Its avionics is quite outdated but it is fun to fly with. It is more like rocket than aircraft. If you don't fly fast enough (approx 600 kph and more), then it does not even fly. The delta wing has very poor lift at low speeds. It is such low that there is special system for blowing the part of thrust on wings to increase the lift. But it's still not enough. You have to burn almost all fuel to have the proper weight for landing. Landing is just more like the kamikaze or controlled falling. Quite high approach speeds so there is not much time for bad decissions.

Ah...my bad. I thought the old Mirage 5F.

Still, the Mirage 2000-5F was just an upgrade of the Mirage 2000C to Multi role capability. It was not stricttly air to air. It also had extra hardpoints for the new active radar MICA missiles.

Landing on load is not impossible in DCS. I have experimented with it. Just a bit higher speed on landing, like plus 420kph and higher AoA on flare. My load was take off with 3 fuel tanks, they heaviest tanks and 4x Aphids. Do a basic circuit, and land.

Now if only DCS...much later developed the F-104 module. Would love to try that...

[Troll Norris]

By the manual the 420 kph is the limit for tires before they blow up. I just follow the manual. If you need to land fast, you should eject all payload.

420kph was the approach speed. The touch down speed was less, with higher AoA on the flare.
