[[1]]

The Dassault Mirage 2000C is a supersonic multirole fly-by-wire delta-wing aircraft, which sans technobabble means it is fast and nimble and capable of both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. Of the two tasks, the C model (for “Chasseur,” or fighter) is more at home in the air-to-air role, featuring DCS's first proper BVR radar to be featured in any of the full-fidelity, non-FC3 aircraft. Before this, there were only the F-5E-3, that had no radar-guided weapons, and the MiG-21bis that had no look-down capabilities, neither of which offered any kind of tracking or target information — only an indistinct blip to steer towards.

Some would argue that the M-2000C's radar, with its need to pick the right filtering modes and scan zones and antenna elevation and, consequently, with its tendency to lose track of a target at the most inopportune moments, is no better than those earlier modules. Those people are silly and wrong.

Features

The M-2000C's air-to-air focus is made further evident by its features list:

  • A Mach 2+ top speed and ridiculous climb rate.
  • Matra Magic IR missiles and Super-530D semi-active radar homing missiles.
  • A built-in ECM pod and countermeasure pods that contain tons of chaff, but very few flares, and a competent RWR to help with employing them properly.
  • The option to replace its very handy landing drag chute with an additional “Eclair” countermeasure pod to augment and balance the two out a bit.
  • Limited and inaccurate CCIP and CCRP modes that are tied to specific bombs rather than selectable by the pilot.
  • In spite of that, the ability to carry a respectable number of bombs, including LGBs.

To get to where it needs to go, the M-2000C also features:

  • A complex but very competent inertial navigation system.
  • TACAN navigation, with a built-in special mode to navigate to TACAN offset point.
  • Thanks to its FBW control system, a very competent and flexible autopilot, including an ILS-guided auto-landing mode.

In many ways, then, the M-2000C is very much like a more fully-developed and advanced version of the F-5E-3 — if you like flying the MiG-28 Tiger, chances are that you will enjoy flying the Baguette as well.

Comes with the built-in M-2000C Campaign.
