I did an anti-ship test mission over Germany.

After I looked at the flight plan, I decided to make my own route over Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, the target area being north of Poland.

 

3 x 2000L drop tanks, 2 Exocet missiles, 2 Magic II IRM, no guns ammo.

 

Everything went fine and I found my target, fired 2 Exocets... they blew up, maybe not locked on (I did not use the target selection square)

 

I went close to the ship

 

I decided to attack with the IRM, the first one in the water, the second...

 

 

I returned navigating the same way, but as I was looking at the map (a paper one lol) I saw the relief a bit late (time running x8), pulled too hard on the stick and stalled.

I was too low to recover, so I ejected    End of the test.

Another anti-ship test mission over Germany with the Nirage 4000

 

This time I made it and returned safely at home base.

 

For the weapons efficiency record,

Am-39 Exocet = 0/3

R-550 Magic II = 2/4

Testing, testing, testing...

 

Today : vertical stall

 

 

 

 

 

Well...

I had to recover an inverted flat spin  that became a normal flat spin with a nose up attitude    but it worked

so no screenshot of the process

Can't believe it took so long.
Can't believe how great it slowly becomes...
