Introduction:

The Mirage-2000C is a light inteceptor built in France. It has a very limited A/A loadout with only 2x MagicII short range IR missiles and 2x Super 530D medium range SARH missiles being the standard loaudout. The Mirage in terms of systems is very simple and is in general an easy aircraft to learn.

  • Super 530D
  • R550 Magic II

Weapons:

Super 530D

The super 530D is a medium range high speed SARH missile. Capable of M5.0, the D model is a significant improvement over previous models with higher speed and better range. The biggest limitation of the missile is both its lifetime and CCM. Both are quite low with 45 seconds for the the former and worse CCM than the AIM-7M for the latter.

Radar Page (RWS):

PPI Scope

The PPI scope is a more accurate representation of what your radar is seeing. It displays the radar in a cone like shape instead of a box like in B-Scope. This allows one to far more accurately gauge the actual target heading relative to your aircraft in a more accurate top-down view.

B Scope

The B-scope is your classic western radar scope. With the bottom of the radar representing your aircraft.

Radar modes:

HFR - High PRF

• Used for long range detection, at the cost of detection range of flanking or retreating targets and a much larger notch. However this mode has the fewest limitations of the remaining two and should be the mode you use the most.

ENT - Interleaved

• Alternates between high and low PRF this allows the radar to have the advantages of both. It has moderate detection ranges of fighter sized targets at around 45NMi however you can not guide the super 530D in this mode.

BFR - Low PRF

• Very poor long range detection and no look down capability. The lack of a Doppler filter severely limits this mode, hoever it has no notch speed so is a great asset for engaging targets at higher altitude.

Elevation symbology

Additionally the radar will give you an indication if the target is near the extreme edges of your scan pattern. This is very useful especially if a target is not currently near your radar cursor you can quickly see if you need to depress or elevate the radar to keep the contact on the screen.
