The Dassault Mirage III G, G4, G8 and G8A are very interesting aircrafts tht deserve to be added to the french tech tree (repost because of insufficient info)
Pretty self explanatory, but the Dassault G series is a very interesting family of aircraft that could add diversity and originality to the French tech tree.
The line could start with the Mirage III G → Mirage G4 → Mirage G8 → G8A (fixed wing)
The Mirage G was France’s first variable-sweep aircraft, derived from the Mirage F2, and could exceed Mach 2 during testing. The G4 was redesigned as a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft intended for reconnaissance, strike and electronic warfare, while the G8 became a twin-engine interceptor. The G8 02 even reached Mach 2.34 during testing for an extended period of time with one of the engines on reduced after-burning mode at 12400m
An event vehicle, the LTV V-507, could also become an event aircraft for the USA. Although it never flew, it was heavily influenced by the Mirage G and was developed through cooperation between LTV and Dassault for the US Navy's VFX competition. It ultimatly lost to the Grumman 303E/F which later became the F14 tomcat.
The LTV V-507 had access to the AIM54 which would place it in a bad place I fear since im not sure the flight performance or radar are competitive at a min br of 12.7 since it has access to fox 3s.
Pls feel free to add info and correct me on my post, I'd love to have a conversation about the dassault G series
