Mirage 2000-5 -EXPERIMENTAL-

The Mirage 2000-5 -EXPERIMENTAL- is a downloadable aircraft in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. It was released in November 22nd 2007 with Pack #02, costing ¤200 MSP to purchase.

Overview
The first variant of the Mirage 2000-5, the EXPERIMENTAL has been designed to mimic the Mirage 4000, a prototype Dassault Aviation craft cancelled in the early 1980s after Saudi Arabia chose the F-15 Eagle as their aircraft of choice which woould later influence the Rafale series. The plane dons the 4000's paint scheme, boasting a ghost white paintjob with a black nose and red & blue stripes running by the intakes, the vertical stabilizer and the wings.

The aircraft's statistics have been altered to match the Mirage 4000's performance. Maximum speed and acceleration have been given a substantial upgrade, which also causes it to lose speed (or "bleed energy") very quickly in a High-G turn. However, this is achieved at the cost of weaker armor and lower stability, which requires the pilot to keep the throttle up at all times to avoid a stall.
