War Thunder - The MIRAGE 2000-5F is AMAZING NOW! FINALLY it can take it's MICA's! 

The old intro 🗣️💯🔥🔊

You forgot "and let's. Get. Into it, guys."

i used to love this guys videos so much because they were amazingly detailed, all compressed into a 7-8 minute video, and even more incredibly he uploaded so quick after updates/announcements. Now it feels like he takes ages to push out videos because he'll do 20 minute long videos with probably the same amount of info, except he'll do a few matches where nothing really happens... i miss when it just used to be gameplay with a voiceover ):

That's also what I was thinking

if you go frame by frame it looks like it totally couldve proxy fused

except itd be able to detect the aerodynamic heating caused by the missile flying through the air

@@patriotic-panda theoreticly yes and some MAWS can detect missiles from their aerodynamicly heated frames, but it's also possible that it could be filtered as clutter made by other aircraft. I also guess that Gaijin has modelled MAW simply by just having the code say if missile engine burning in the range of MAW detection then give missile launch warning.

So in other words this thing slaps in lategame cus everyone's close by. In early game just hug the terrain and let the F15/16 waste all their missiles

The mica wobbles a lot after launch which I don’t see in the aim120. I can only assume it’s losing a lot of its energy throughout its travel because of that wobble

mica biggest problem is that it twerks a lot when flying thats why they suck ass long range

Firing the 120A's outside of 32km is a crap-shoot. If the person you are shooting at has more than 2 brain cells to rub together, the missile is easily avoidable. Within 24km you better defend fast and chaff, within 16km you're pretty much doomed. When AIM-120C's come in ..... forget it; and even moreso with AIM-120D's. Those are some wild missiles. People be firing them like literally right as they're pulling their gear up 😂

They were designed for long ranges, it's just that "long range" kept pushing farther and farther, and instead of upgrading the range over and over like on other arh, they kept it as a close to medium range dogfighting missile and developped the Meteor instead for BVR

​@@nicolaspeigne1429 Considering how light they are, it's a smart idea

False... They have a maximum range of between 70/80km irl, it's just that on WT they are nerfed on their range, they have a disgusting drag and above all they oscillate so much at the start that they already lose energy.

@@user45g-4c5rf It's maximum range is comparable to 120A, so in modern BVR fight they aren't very useful

​@@-..----.--.-... yes but now France use Meteor for that. However, in the 90', early 2000', MICA were competitive in BVR fight

There is a countdown next to the missile count or breaking lock forces it to be active early

500 meter is not a long distance for these active missiles. I have seen enough teamkills because of teammates like those, happen to me aswell. The other missile is an IR missile that doesnt care about the friendlies as long as they are not crossing the IR beam of the missile itself.

⁠@@crad5476mat was 500 meters away from the enemy not the guy firing it. However he fired his IR missile when friendly was within the view of the seeker and enemy was using flares, easily could have hit the friendlies. Stop bootlicking him.

@@fennoman9241 You are repeating yourself with the same misinformation posted originally. You seem to have absolutely no knowledge on how the game works whatsoever. Considering the angle, mat was only about 200 meters away from the enemy, which is no considerable range for the radar missile, which could have easily hit him if the active radar went active, searching for signatures in mats direction. The missiles with an IR seeker head dont just randomly target other planes unless they are flying DIRECTLY in the IR beam. There was absolutely no teammate near that. Learn to read, understand the game and stop trashtalking.

@@crad5476 Considering the angle and fact that friendly radar painted the enemy target, the missile was nowhere near hitting mat, stop over reacting, seems like you never touched any missile ingame. While mats IR seeker had friendly completely in view and could have easily hit him. Stop being such a crybaby, go learn the missiles and stop bootlicking mat. Lil boy.

@@fennoman9241 I have myself been teamkilled multiple times by fox 3 and fox 1 missiles, I also teamkilled others that way, and the enemy was even further away than 500 meters. The angle was perfect to lock onto mat, you simply have absolutely no knowledge on how it actually works, you just want to make up a dumb reason to post hate comments on youtube. The magic 2 missile mat fired was NOWHERE NEAR a teammate, especially considering the missile has IRCCM which drastically decreases the seekers FOV. And once again, you have absolutely no knowledge about the missiles and simply want to spread hate because your ego cant handle certain things.

Not the devs fault that germany insisted on not cooperating with europeans and instead buys american and still does today

@@user-wb1ww1py2f Not cooperating? Bro, they were literally forced into having to buy equipment from the Western powers rather than have domestic production because of the sanctions put on them due to WW2. So, their options were limited. Never being able to buy the best of the best and having to make the lifespan of aircraft extend long past the time of them being outdated was commonplace in West Germany. That's why they used the F-104 and F-4 for so long. And lets be real, American Military Aviation has ALWAYS been on the cusp of innovation; so there is absolutely no reason to buy French or British aircraft that are just going to perform worse in their role against a technologically superior enemy. Think about it, what would fair better against a Su-27 or MiG-29, a Phantom or a Mirage III?

@@RollinRetro99 sure the F-104 was a better strike aircraft than the Mirage and yeah rethink your last sentence with Kfir instead of Mirage III cause they can be upgraded too

MICA is better at close range so aim-120 and MiCA are pretty equal

​@@MartinVrcaYep at like extremely close range. Nothing can really evade the 35g of the 120's in a head on anyway tho.

BVR larper detected

Bro s4 dont have rdy radar ..

I mean, IRL the russian air force kept using R-27ET until R-77-1 was used correcting R-77 mistakes

Irl the russian air force still uses r27ets cuz its their only long range IR missile and its pretty strong @@potatouno

@@WarringPigeon9000 i'm sorry, i meant ER

how does it suck?

@@collander7766 bullshit range and it loses all of its energy after one turn

The problem is we need this strong chaff, cause there is basically no multipath, and 20 Fox-3s coming at you

IMO chaff isn’t good enough lmao

@@skillz674I’d disagree. I know chaffing while notching does work IRL it just seems to be way too easy at close ranges.

Idk ive been having a great time with the Mirage and its Micas. Its easily the most fun plane of the patch for me.

@@skillz674We really don’t, fox-3s are simple to defeat even without chaff.
