[2020] Mirage IIIC current meta

F.1 is very unlikely to be the next to come. So I would re-adjust your expectations.

Perhaps a testament to their design then that the "outdated" by your standards Mirage IIIC is still one of the best performing aircraft in game after the Phantoms and MiG-21s

Time periods are irrelevant in most cases from a gameplay point of view. SK.60 came out later than Mirage IIIC but it does not mean it should be 10.7 alongside it.

USSR went 1 year between SMT being added and now, more recently Bis, its two top units. By comparison, Mirage IIIC has been in game since May of this year and was on its, arrival, instantly one of the top jets in game.

All nations move forward over time. Its not a case of "the stats are good so no need to more", its a case of more is on the way and in development, but in the meantime, the Mirage IIIC is still one of the top aircraft in game and by no means "killed" or "dead" as some are making it out to be.

Please re-read what I said as you and others are very much misinterpreting what I have said several times.

New aircraft do not magically appear overnight. They take months of development and we have 9 nations in game. USSR had to wait 1 year between SMT and Bis, meanwhile the Mirage IIIC has been in game only 7 months.

They are not half a year behind. Mirage IIIC was added 7 months ago. It was stronger than the SMT which USSR had to wait a year for the Bis to now come. Sweden already has one of the strongest jets and top tanks in game, having been in game barely a year.

SMT and Bis were almost a year apart. 11 months between them. Its not just about the number of patches because a patches size can vary.
