i actually like the Mirage III. You can dogfight anything, but only one by one, if you keep that in mind, its good

[@-Hari-03]

yea, like basically all the mirages, they have a very specific playstyle which i really enjoy, luring someone out for a dogfight and shitting on them feels so nice

Yeah the mirage takes a well-practiced and disciplined delta pilot to do well in - I love them, but i also love the delta playstyle a tone - most people i think just get rubbed the wrong way with delta's, its not for everyone.

kill stealing is gajin fault. you can bring the hole enemy team down to the deck supporting your team but if you dont kill or damage stuff you will get 0 RP.

Gaijin doesn't help with KS? Fine. It's our responsibility to us then. Just kill them every time a KS occurs so maybe they'll learn after a few times. This is how you train an animal. Quick and expeditive retaliation repeated everytime it's out of the line

f8e is a monster. It's powerless compared to the SMT and it's a brick compared to the F5E and even more brick than the C but the energy retention is so insane damn.

Speaking of revisting old 10.3's, you should check out the AJ37 again. With custom loadouts it can now cary both a gun and countermesures at the same time and with its flight performence and two AIM-9J's its kind of a beast at 10.3.

[@robertgaudet7407]

People have been absolutely stomping sim in it. Last night watched a guy go 14 and 1 on the enemy team in one. F-5C fed him an Aim-9e from the front aspect for his one death. What are you gonna do? He was probably doing that open cockpit cheese but gotta go back and double check that… He was not.

[@paulmiller9767]

Can confirm. Got bored with German top tier with the 29 and ground out the swedes for it. Fastest thing on the deck and the aim 9js are basically two kills and if you get the hang of the 30s you’re borderline untouchable

Honestly the number one thing that holds the R530 back for me is that the radar on the Mirage 3 is just... plain horrible. At least on the 3C, I find myself really struggling to get a lock or even radar contacts period. At high altitude, it is perfectly servicable, but below 2 km it just feels like it does not even function.

[@evangalinsky2499]

Like other dude said, if you're going to talisman one, talis the E. The C at the same BR without flares, even with the better flight performance, is just an L. The only reason I have one on my 3C is because I got it for free from a box. I don't think the 3E was even in game yet actually. That and the E looks better. I cannot stand the stupid exhaust of the 3C. The 3E actually has a regular looking exhaust/feathers.

You should really make an F-100D video, now that it’s 9.3 it’s actually useable, and if you feel the need to have flares, you can use rockets as discount flares

The Mirage IIIE is definitely a great plane if flown properly, and the radar missiles can get some unexpected kills. (Even tho I haven’t played in some time.) Also I agree that the A10 are so annoying especially when your just trying to grind by base bombing.
