Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very maneuverable
  • Good Air to Air missiles
  • 30mm DEFA cannons making it deadly in close encounters
  • Self sealing fuel tanks
  • Lower BR compared to other Mirage variants

Cons:

  • No armor
  • Bleeds airspeed fairly quickly while in a steep high G turn.
  • No countermeasures
  • Limited amount of ground ornaments
  • Limited amount of air to air ordainments (3 AAM)

History

The Mirage IIICJ (Shahak) got it's worthiness and respect from many pilots due to the 6 Day-War in 1967 against the surrounding Arab counties. The IAF had carefully accompanied the improvement of the Mirage III. As a personal organization keen to sell its products, Dassault had invited IAF employees to go to its plant and fly the modern plane. With the advent of the MiG-21 in Arab inventories, Israel sooner or later set its first order for the Mirage in 1959. While French Mirages had been designed to intercept excessive flying bombers, the Israeli requirement come to be for a tactical fighter-interceptor. Israeli Mirages consequently contained extra gas tanks in preference to the takeoff rocket established in French Mirages, and furthermore contained DEFA cannons. The preliminary order for twenty-four planes came to be widened in 1961 to embody seventy Mirage IIICJ

 Mirages. The first IAF Mirages arrived in Hazor AFB on April seventh 1962 and entered provider with the 101st "first fighter" squadron. In June 1962 the 117th "first jet" squadron at Ramat-David have come to be the second one IAF squadron to characteristic the Mirage and in March 1964 the 119th "Atalef" (Bat) squadron at Tel-Nof started out receiving its plane. The 3 squadrons furthermore operated the double seated variation of the Mirage, the IIIB, which differed from the IIICs via having its interception radar removed. Israel furthermore received photographed reconnaissance (PR) or Mirage IIICJ(R)s which entered provider with the "Atalef" squadron as surveillance aircraft.

The Mirage IICJ also made history during the 6 Day-war, War or Attrition, and Yom-Kippur War years 1967, 1969-70, and 1973 with Giora Epstein or "Hawkeye" as his nickname. Giora was a natrual born ace, with super human like vision, and downing more than 15 confirmed enemy aircraft and 17 victories.

With the reduction in the number of Mirage at the IAF and the arrival of new fighters, such as the first the F-4E Phantom II and then the F15 Eagle, the Mirage quickly become irrelevant. The aircraft served the IAF until 1982, until fully retired for good. Later on, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) flew the Nesher, Kfir, and later on the F-15 from the US Air Force. Although not in service, the Mirage will forever leave a mark in history as a true legendary fighter.
