Technically not British but South African but does anyone know if this mirage actually existed/prototypes, or was just a concept that never left the drawing board?
Would basically be a kfir c10 but for South Africa
There was an Atlas Cheetah D modified to take the SMR-95 engine, but that was the extent of the modifications made. Sadly to my knowledge no radar able to guide the RVV-AE was put onto the jet nor was it modified to carry the R-73 like the super mirage F1 was. However it can still carry a variety of South African missiles like the V3B, V3S, V3C, U-Darter along with an assortment of bombs (guided and unguided tho its unknown to me if the D or D2 was equipped with a targeting pod), and rockets.
Not to mention the D/D2 has a good rwr, HMS, and a healthy amount of Countmeasures :D
The Cheetah D2 is more akin to a Kfir C.12 than that of a C.10, for a C.10 equivalent, you should go see the Altas Cheetah C suggestion! Its more akin the C.10 than the D or D2. Not to mention anecdotal sources suggestion it could carry 5 missiles instead of 4 :D

According to gszabi’s datamines, Mosquito NF.II now has its Air Intercept radar and has been reclassified as a fighter rather than a strike aircraft.
Ed:- after playing the reopened dev server I see the Sea Mosquito now has the option to carrier spawn (landing it isn’t easy, at least for me 😅), and James Prendergast’s 414 Sqn RCAF Spitfire is rightly flagged as Canadian on the statcard

The question is, when will they give it the minimum range of Starstreak missiles? Right now, you can’t shoot down planes at less than 2 km, when the minimum range would be 300 meters.
The darts do not separate from the booster until 370 m, and it cannot start manoeuvring until the darts separate, so I very doubt the minimum range is 300 M.
I don’t know if the minimum will be 300 or 370, the question is that I don’t think the minimum distance is 2km.
Depends on the speed and aspect of the target, its not as simple as a flat figure. The NA documents that show the Starstreak engagement zones drastically reduce the possibility of engagement close in the higher the speed of the target;

Yeah, though struggling to get into a match vs anything other than 10.7. So i’ve given up with ARB. Gunna try them in SB later
I’ve had a few 10.7 games, but to be honest, it still seems to perform fine
yep theyre excellent. Just wish it had flares haha.

you have SNEB rocket pods.
I’ve seen people use that, but its a shame on the Harrier you are forced to use four of them rather than just two
My cursed creation
