Usage in battles

The most effective way of using the Mirage F1C-200 in Air Realistic battles is to play a support role, targeting slow or distracted enemies with your powerful air-to-air missiles. Try to avoid entering the furball as the Mirage F1C-200 has poor manoeuvrability and low top speed. It is recommended to avoid 1-vs-1 dogfights unless absolutely necessary due to the poor manoeuvrability and acceleration of the aircraft.

The Mirage F1C-200 can also be used as a strike aircraft with its bombs and rockets and transition to a fighter role after dropping its ordnance.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Availability of Matra Super 530F and Matra R550 Magic 2 air-to-air missiles
  • The Cyrano-IV radar allows low-altitude Pulse-Doppler (MTI) and ACM modes, an upgrade from the previous Mirages (IIIE & IIIC)
  • Carries 252 countermeasures
  • Large amount of bombs and rockets

Cons:

  • Very slow acceleration with ordnance
  • Poor manoeuvrability at low and high speeds with only "workable" agility at medium speeds
  • Low wing-rip speed compared to other aircraft at the rank
  • The Matra Super 530F missiles are very heavy and strongly impact flight performance
  • 30 mm DEFA cannons are difficult to use, particularly against high-speed targets

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • other literature.
