 == Description ==
-The French Matra Super530D is the latest and greatest of the M.530 family. It's an interception Semi-Active Radar Homing missile, that was introduced in 1987 specifically for the Mirage 2000 family of jet fighters. At the time of it's introduction, it was capable of flying faster than most if not all other missiles of it's kind. This missile was made to hit even maneuvering targets, hence the ~30g overload limit, which is impressive when taking into account its 30kg warhead, and 270kg total weight.
+<!--''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''-->
-In War Thunder, this missile is competitive. it is not as manoeuvrable as an [https://wiki.warthunder.com/AIM-7F_Sparrow Aim-7F] at close range, and it does not possess the range or acceleration of the [https://wiki.warthunder.com/R-27ER R-27ER]. However when fired at targets between 4km and 15km, this missile is very lethal. It takes it's sweet time to accelerate, but makes up for it in top speed and agility once it gets to speed. Overall a very balanced missile that feels different from its American and Russian counterparts. The only downside of this missile is that you can only take 2 of them at most on the M2K-5F and M2KC-S5, while some American planes can install up to 6 SARH missiles on top of other armament.

 === Effective damage ===
-The Matra Super 530D has only a 10kg warhead in war thunder. This means that the 530D needs a near direct hit to cripple the target. If the 530D finds itself at a low energy state, where it cannot get itself as close to the plane as possible, it might explode and deal minor damage.

 === Comparison with analogues ===
-The 530D is a Doppler version of the [https://wiki.warthunder.com/Matra_Super_530F Super 530F], it's closest brother. The closest missiles in terms of competitiveness, usage and stats are the American Aim-7F, [https://wiki.warthunder.com/R-24R Russian R-24R] and the British [https://wiki.warthunder.com/Skyflash_SuperTEMP Skyflash superTEMPs]. they all feature similar range, similar manoeuvrability and even similar usage.

 == Usage in battles ==
 <!-- ''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)'' -->
-The Super 530D is a very capable missile that should mostly be used for Head-On situations and high altitude interceptions. it can also be used at closer range if the enemy is at a low energy state, and not further than 3km.
+The Super 530D is a very capable missile that should mostly be used for head-on situations and high altitude interceptions. It can also be used at closer range if the enemy is at a low energy state, and not further than 3 km.
-This missile features very high potential speed, however it has sub-par acceleration. It has a small guidance delay when it leaves the rail, unlike the Aim-7F which can start tracking and pulling as soon as it leaves the rail, making it worse than a 7F at close quarters. The 7F will also be able to pull harder before the 530D due to its higher acceleration.

 The R-27ER will outclass the 530D in most situations, so it's hard to compare them.
-While the 530D is identical on both Air Superiority variants of the Mirage 2000, the -5F version has a PD mode, opposed to the PD HDN (head-on) of the C-S5 variant. This might not seem like a big deal, however the PD mode of the -5F gives you a way higher killing potential against a maneuvering target. Your radar will have an easier time tracking notching targets and cold flying (flying away from you) targets, making the 530D an even bigger monster on the Mirage 2000-5F.

 Another quirk of the 530D is that it seems to accelerate better when flying above supersonic. It is always best to fire missiles from a higher speed, because they will have alot more energy, however this can really be felt with the 530D as opposed to the R-27ER for example.
-Overall the 530D is not that different from the other SARH missiles, however it has it's quirks and should be used to it's strenghts. As with all other missiles, the "thing" making the missile very lethal is the pilot. Firing it from the right Range, at the right Altitude, at the right Time, in the right Situation will give you the most chances of securing a Hit on an enemy.

 === Pros and cons ===
 '''Pros:'''

+* Excellent speed.
-* Excellent Maximum overload of 30G. It will hit the target provided it has enough energy to manoeuver.

-* Good tracking. It pulls Enough to lead targets even at lower energy, making it harder to dodge kinetically.

 '''Cons:'''
