I am going to ask here as I have no idea where else I am likely to find people who can give me an answer. The Mirage F1 and 3/5 series were both designed as interceptors/air superiority fighters and were shoved into the ground attack role. My question is which one was the better at which? At a guess I would imagine the delta would win for manouverability owing to its lower wing loading.
Also does anyone know how the Israeli J79 engined ones compared with the Atar 9K ones in terms of performance?
