As we can see the 530D went from something very similar to the R27R in performance. Now it outranges everything by a significant margin. At these shoot parameters it has traveled 11nmi and still has a velocity of Mach 1. Assuming a head to head intercept, would give the missile approximately 18nmi of range with Mach 1 worth of energy. (Enough for a high-g break)











Whilst the new Magic doesn't accelerate as rapidly as it did, its performance increase speaks for itself. It outperforms both the AIM-9 and the R-73 at very close ranges, although the R-73 will obviously turn tighter due to thrust vectoring.



Overall a marked improvement and Mirage pilots should see them coming out ahead in restricted payload operations.



For a laugh I quickly did a shot against more modern weapons to see how it stands up, with no expectations of competition.







Both the 27's have a much greater acceleration and the ER and the 120 have a lot higher top speed. However once the Super has hit it's top speed at 10 seconds (Which isn't a long period of time) it is already out performing the ET. By the 25s mark is has more speed than the ER and after the 35s the 120 as well. Never the less the 120 and the ER will have traveled a greater distance due to the amount of time they had a higher speed, but it does show that the 530D is able to maintain it's speed better than other missiles. So with the new update of 2.0 came new Super and Magic missiles. I've complied 4 graphs that compare how they match up to their old stats as well in contrast to similar era weapons.As we can see the 530D went from something very similar to the R27R in performance.
