Flagrum Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I am trying to get my head around the Eclair Pod and it's capabilities. Are my findings correct? This is what I got: Spirale = fixed number of 16 IR flares and 112 chaff cartridges ( http://www.mbda-systems.com/air-dominance/spirale-2000 ) Eclair = "Increases the internal IR flare capacity by 4 times" ( http://www.mbda-systems.com/air-dominance/eclair-m ) The Eclair pod seems to be just a big box that can contain 6 modules - where each module can either hold 8 IR flares or 18 "other cartridges". I am not sure if those 18 cartridges can only be chaff or if those are rather those "advanced flares / small-calibre flares" that the Spirale product flyer speaks about. But this means, the Eclair pod seems to be more flexible in terms of what type of CM can be loaded, right? Up to 6 x 8 IR flares or up to 6 x 18 chaff cartridges - or apropriate combinations of such modules. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantiga Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I think "Eclair-M" differs from original "Eclair" edit: Something like this Edited April 24, 2016 by Cantiga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The Éclair pod is a small box placed in the brake chute storage bin. It carries 18 more chaff and 16 more flares. The amount of chaff and flares is fixed and cannot be modified. The Éclair-M is a new pod, made by the company who built the Éclair as a replacement. AFAIK it wasn't approved for use in the AdA until recently. It has more capacity and unlike the Éclair, the amount of chaff/flares can be tailored to the specific mission. The M-2000C never carried the Éclair-M, only the Éclair. The -5 and the D are the ones who have the Éclair-M among their load options.

Zeus67 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks Zeus. I also just found this - which illustrates that quite well: That's the Éclair.

Zeus67 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 This is the Éclair-M.

ZHeN Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 okay, now after last update I didn't find any Eclair pod in the loadout menu more over, now I can split chaff/flares number in ~50/50 proportion - and I will still have my chute! is that a bug ?

As they have said its not fully implemented. You can get more Flares. But there is no actual pod Available yet. So even if you take more flares you still keep the chute. And im pretty sure you can also take to many flares atm. (even if you simulate the Eclair pod) Edited April 24, 2016 by mattebubben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoware Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 This is the Éclair-M. Can M2000C equip 6 missiles in the game? Im thinking about buying the module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backspace340 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Can M2000C equip 6 missiles in the game? Im thinking about buying the module. No - that's a different model Mirage in the picture, the M2000C ingame can only carry four AA missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
