- Getting an ace to begin with is a pretty tall order, especially in an aircraft that carries fewer than 5 missiles - Here we'll be talking about all the considerations that need to be given some thought and planning in order to achieve an ace before being forced to RTB.
Fuel state, missile performance, fighting styles, altitude use and debating the best course of action when caught with your pants down.

I recently just got the mirage thanks to you and I’m having lots of fun in it so keep these mirage videos coming :)
The Mirage 2000 is the connoisseur's Gen 4 dogfighter: unlike its counterparts -- the loudly bawdy, brawny, and perennially self-advertising American F-16, F-14, and F15 (as I said, truly "American" planes) or the taciturn, encroaching, menacing Russian Mig 29 and family, the flying "Nyets" of Russian Boris and Natasha international coercion and skullduggery -- the Mirage 2000 is small, understated, and oh, so agile, fleet, cunning, and relentlessly lethal. And those at either DCS or War Thunder who master the Mirage 2000 are often the masters and commanders of the game (Kortana, the cult-figure Growling Sidewinder and his pal Longshot, the real-life former fighter pilots Ian Black and Até, who have flown the real Mirages, et al. -- and one redoubtable Bullet4MyEnemy).
Your flying reflects your choice of planes: wicked smart, ruthlessly adaptable, bloody jaw-dropping fantastic at times. And your vids? Drôle, illuminating, cunningly clever. Keep them comin' lad, keep them ah comin'!
Looking forward to seeing the day you pull it off =)
Really the only thing you can do in my experience is making the decision to turn cold and run before it's too late. The mistake most people make is they decide to run when they have no chance, they would have been better off just gambling with a head on shot. I've outrun Mirage 2000s in a Hornet many many times by just recognizing I'm not going to win a BVR fight in these conditions and deciding to run earlier. Even though they were faster than me and were gaining on me, the closure rate was so low I'm able to make it back to friendly SAMs before they can get within launch parameters and they end up dying to a SAM or breaking off their attack.
That is what I do in my videos. I try to tell a story. Which means the video has to be a little longer to maintain the continuity. I have had no complaints although I do have one friend (not just a subscriber) who skips through the video. LOL
I requested the Mirage F1 last video without actually remembering if you have it or not 😅 would love to see you try it with the 530IRs or Fs. Great M2K video one of my favorites
I don’t have it, I’m super torn over whether to go for it or the MiG-21.
A lot of it is also just general apprehension; I don’t really have much of an issue with buying modules, it’s really more about the time.
It takes a long time to learn a new module to a proficiency level that makes it actually enjoyable to fly, and when I get sub-5hrs a week to play any game in general, I want it to be something I enjoy doing and can be fairly confident will yield video-worthy footage.
New modules are like, booking a week off work sort of presents to myself 😅
@@Bullet4MyEnemy True enough, but at least the Mirage F1 module comes with like 3-4 different mirage F1s, so that is something to consider when buying it. Thanks for the answer
My best jet is the SU-27 I do the fly very low look up shoot down bandit's. I can regularly get Ace in the 27. I can get Ace in the M2000 tho I got to work for it. And that's what I like about the M2000c.
I've killed so many Hornets and Vipers in the M2000c. I get the feeling that they have bought a airframe that's far beyond there skill lvl.
I feel when others say make your first airframe a Hornet or a Viper. They are doing a disservice to the new person. I feel they should start simple learn the basic's then jump into the full feldity mod's. Just my Opion
The M2000c is my favorite Full Feldity mod.
Love me some 27 action on Blue Spike 80's. It a really capable fighter. When i know there is a Mirage, i tend to fly lower then him and bit behind to complement it. Works well. EO ftw goes without saying lol
F-16 was my first fighter module(A-10 being first, ofcourse) and its such a relatively simple FF module. Even cold start doesnt take more then 2 mins. 3 ARM modes to choose and each does its own unique job, you just cant mess it up.
Its plenty fast, rates like a god on skateboard and gets impressive A/A and A/G loadouts. It's risky flying it on 80's server since no Sparrows. Mirage is the only thing im scared of in the Viper.
Good job with the videos, I've been enjoying watching these M2000 sorties! By the way, how do you get the 4 corners of a square on your HUD symbology and what does it do?
I forget what it’s called - might be the enable/designate switch used with CCRP bombing.
But it makes the Magics scan that area so you’re more likely to catch heat signatures when you nose over them.
@@Bullet4MyEnemy Thanks for the answer, I'll give it a try!
Do you know of any guns only modern jet servers. If not we should start one. That would be so fun
It doesn’t really interest me tbh, but there are a couple I think - one’s a dogfight server where you spawn head to head with someone, though it’s usually best used with a buddy so you can time your spawns so the merge works better and there’s another that works more as you describe where you just don’t get missiles.
But I can’t remember what they’re called.
For the missiles shots in the fight around 7mins the 1st one the double circles are blinking which i think is target is going evasive/low percent odds of hitting and the 2nd shots the double circles are solid indicating a decent shot. Not a 100% sure on that I'm new to the mirage and tried to find a source for that and couldn't so not sure where it entered my brain from. So hopefully someone can confirm or deny that lol
I’ve noticed similar, if you actually lose track you get an M on the hud for memory, where it’ll guess the last known trajectory and try to acquire for 8 seconds - usually it does, if it doesn’t it switches to illumination mode where you have to manually paint the target with the radar by keeping them in a circle on the hud.
You should try to do this on Tempest's Blue Flash server. Best place to fly M2000C PVP imo! Lovin your videos!
I have managed about 15 kills without dying on that server, but no ace…
I do prefer BlueFlag’s EWR system rather than the overlord bot, and Tempest’s tends to be dead whenever I’m online unfortunately.
I will give it another look at some point though because they have a Persian Gulf mission now.
Tempest's now has an EWR system instead of overlord bot, tho not sure how it compares with the EWR system on BlueFlag.

How recently was that change? I was on the PG mission for about half an hour last week and it was still running overlord.
Unless they’re using both at once?
@@Bullet4MyEnemy Pretty recent, I was flying there on the 27th & 28th and overlord was gone.
Hahaha the huge difference between mirage2k here nd in War thunder
Regarding telling a story for your content, discussing your intent and showing how it went I thought this video from another DCS content creator was pretty good: ruclips.net/video/7dBPFwR8mtA/видео.html
