Notable - when/if I review new planes from upcoming game updates that are basically copy/pasta (like stuff out of the Thailand subtree for Japan) to discuss them in the current meta/etc, this is the "quick review" format I'll be using.
One huge advantage you didn't mention is that MICAs can be fired successfully without the "red" solid lock, as soon as hmd locks, your nose doesn't have to point anywhere near your target. In practice that means you can fire at targets while cranking or even in a full notch. You can murder entire teams by giving them the side eye. No other aircraft can be offensive while being fully defensive, massive advantage
Yeah, thats the thrust vectoring. They're fkn assassins at medium or short ranges. 👍 When the Rafale comes in and starts dunking, I expect people to start complaining pretty hard.
I don't think it would be as good, with no IRCCM missiles and only a maximum of 4 ARH ones, but still would be a very solid addition tbh, it could fit somewhere between the F-16A and the Mirage
@@jfv2312 IIRC the Ching Kuo should have access to at least the AIM-9L and the indigenous TC-1 which it carries two per wing with two centreline TC-2 ARH missiles but I could be wrong. I'm more interested in the aircraft since it would be one of the few truly 'unique' aircraft, which no other nation would have access to, which is hard to find in the higher ranks.
@@SemiLobster no you're right, for the first generation, not upgraded F-CK-1 that would be the correct loadout. The thing is, neither the AIM-9L or the TC-1 have any type of IRCCM, so I don't think it would be that competitive in game beyond BR 13.0 or so. That said, of course it's really unique and it would be an amazing addition for the tech tree, but knowing Gaijin they'll probably go for new J-10 and J-11 variants first 😔
The chances of me ever pronouncing anything correctly in French, even when I know how are like ... maybe 5%, tops, on a good day 😅 I love the language, just don't have any aptitude for it.
I saw your other comment asking about an air to ground weapon guide, but it seems to have vanished. I have one made already - its in my tutorials playlist, here ruclips.net/video/60t9Inm8ZWM/видео.html
@@nmcmm8341 You too! Just a note, the air to ground vid will be getting an update sometime in the next few months since some of the UI elements have changed slightly, and I like to keep my stuff current. Make sure to check back :-)
Ah yes, that weird Mirage 2000 that is downgraded due to Chinese pressure. Taiwan can't get enough spare parts of it and might be replaced by F-16 Block 70/72.

@@TimsVarietyThey are already complaining like they do every update 🤦♂️
As a Chinese main whose favorite jet is the mirage 2000 I see this as a win of the highest magnitude
will china get India rafale?
@@ilikewarhawk890 ....why would China get an Indian jet? Is Russia gonna get an American one?
@@ilikewarhawk890why tf would China get Indian?
In game they always get Pakistani, and Indian vehicles goes to UK
@@CatOfCulturethey MAY get Slovenian F16 sometime 👀 (they already have Czechoslovakian Su25K and Slovenian T72)
@@ilikewarhawk890the Indian rafale would go to the British
I love seeing the French Dorito for Taiwan but I think we're all hoping for the indigenous AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo eventually.
Luv me F-CK-1

@@jfv2312honestly it should just be where the F-16 MLU is currently, Taiwanese F-16 have AMRAAM

Hi!
As Always, amazing video! Thanks!
If I may, pronuncíation-wise, "Thales" is pronounced "Ta-less".
Thanks for the great content again!

It's the camping tent Bane😂😂 quite honestly This Plane looks very fun to play at close range thanks for the vid
I want to play this plane

@TimsVariety sorry bro l write and after l see your video your channel 😁. TNX for answer and interesting. Have a good day

Happy to finally see it in the Chinese Air tree
Micas will be even more cracked next patch. They somewhat fixed the stability issue on the dev server for the r73 and mica.
*Allegedly. Saw someone claiming that missiles worked better on previous DEV too, plus R-73 is known for both spinning out and pulling insane tracks
They didn’t change anything about the micas or R73s on the dev server
Is it worth he grind. I’m still partial to the J10
45 years of Mirage 2000 in 2023.
I am subscribed yet this video does not show up in my subscribtion feed. Just on the recommendation home feed.
I dont know why. That option on the back end is greyed-out on this vid for some reason.
Just use the notifications bell😁
FYI Thales is pronounced "Tallis" (T-halez). Bloody French!
Chances of me ever pronouncing anything French correctly are apx 0.031%
The French are pronouncing it correctly, it's you bloody Brits that are incapable of pronouncing Greek names properly :P
Actually, the French pronounce it "Ta-less".
Of all the versions why the hell this one???
Hi Tim, i'm just a viewer but i have an idea for new video, i see you didn't make A7He1 review video, so i hope you can do it, plenty thx ❤
Im sure I'll get to it eventually. I recently did a Japanese prop fighter (the Ki-100) so it'll be a while before I do another.
@@TimsVariety thx tim, i really appreciate it
