About
The Mirage 2000‑5F is France’s Tier 8, Level 12 interceptor. Upgraded from the 2000C, it features the RDY-2 radar, modern RWR, Link 16, and new missiles like the MICA-IR/EM—positioning it just before the Rafale C F4.
Playstyle
The 2000‑5F excels as a short-to-medium range strike fighter. It climbs well, retains energy at high altitudes, and is highly mobile. Perfect for aggressive IR duels and ARH missile engagements. Durable with modern sensors, Countermeasure systems, and full Link 16, it’s built for sustained pressure—but struggles at long range due to radar limitations.
