I play CAS mostly, and Most channels will just be like “it can’t 1v1 an f16, doesn’t have enough missiles: ITS BAD” while flying a cas jet as an air superiority jet… lol

The radar in the game is incorrect. Just like the 2000N, the 2000D is equipped with the Antilope V radar. It s a ground mapping and following radar that allow it to perform low altitude penetration mainly with the use of automatic TFR. The radar is also joke about for its extremely poor AA performance. The crews often use the magic seeker instead of the radar to look for aircraft.

Another great review, thanks for the effort and level of detail you provide. It might be a little biased experience, but so far every plane I've played and watched the corresponding review to, I had the expected result. I mean, I've found your channel due to me looking up how to use the F-86K, since I had a hard time to get it to work and as I found out in your review about it, it's not an easy plane to use, especially at the BR of 9.3 it had back then. About your community poll about the background music, just scrap it, your reviews don't need it. I also think it is very irritating around the 4:55 section, maybe some really basic music works better than the music here. (The menu-theme from Race Driver GRID comes to my mind "Nathan Boddy - Vintage Warmer")

So at around 2:08 I saw you using the CCRP to bomb a base, which is cool, I like being able to do level bombing without changing flight attitude to use the CCIP or to dive bomb if I don't have it, but I've personally been having some trouble with it lately. It's not that the actual system doesn't work or that I can't designate targets with it; I can, but for the two main planes I use it with, the F-105D and the Jaguar GR1A, the bombs seem to overshoot most of the time, starting maybe a couple months ago. Now most of the time I use it it's on an EC map and it's because I can't be bothered to dive down from relatively high altitude, so I get that the aiming guides for bombs will become less accurate the higher you fly, but I also noticed at the timestamp that you didn't fully destroy the base. Idk what bomb weight you were using, so maybe they were just light bombs and they did all hit, but I was mostly wondering if you'd noticed this too.
@TimsVariety
Жыл бұрын
I noticed it too - one of the bombs missed in the section you were talking about. In general, the CCRP is significantly less accurate at higher altitudes and higher speeds. "Good enough" if you're dropping a bit of overkill, but if you're dropping **exactly** just-enough to take out a base, one of the bombs might miss and leave you a sliver of leftover....

There is no other French CAS that is better than the Mirage 2000D at the moment. I would rather take this aircraft than any other 10.3+ for CAS on the French Tree, matter of fact I would take this over any CAS on any tree. The Targeting Pod is a massive upgrade from the previous Jaguar A version and the FOV of it is insane, better than anything at top tier right now. It may only be gen 1 thermals but it is good enough to bomb targets from 8km+ high or shoot an AS-30L from 10km away.

If you take the smaller GBUs you actually get 4 drops, and outside of scoring double kills, there’s no point to carrying the bigger bomb (they’re laser guided afterall, and a 250kg bomb landing ontop of the target will have the exact same effect as a 1 ton bomb landing ontop of the target), which is very much the standard for other top tier attackers. As for the conclusion, the bit where there are better CAS jets before the M2kD is wrong asf. The Mirage F1CT isn’t an actual top tier attacker, as it lacks guided air-to-ground weapons, the Mirage 5F only has 1 AS-30 and it’s the manually guided kind, and the Jaguar A before it does have the 2 AS-30Ls along with a laser pod, but it doesn’t have auto-tracking or thermals, and it also doesn’t have any guided bomb options ontop of the Nords, as well as worse flight perf overall. The Mirage 2000D is for certain the best ground attack jet France has, and if the problems with rendering targets on the laser pod gets adjusted, it could be a strong contender for the overall best CAS jet in the game.

Well this load out does not exist. No GBU-12 can be taken under the wings, on the the BGL-1000 and AS-30L. As for the fuselage pylone, they can’t take the GBUs either. Only the 2000D RMV witch is currently being delivered to the forces can, and only on the front fuselage. Otherwise you have to stick to the 2 centerline. The only other french mirage that can take the GBU-12 on the forward fuselage points is the 2000N but this one does not have any TGP.
