U42858531: I changed 'Being an attack aircraft does not increase the required spawn point in Ground RB' by specifying that it does not increase the cost of other mirages. That's what's relevant.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the dedicated ground attack variant of the Mirage 2000, based in the Mirage 2000D, which in itself, was based in the Mirage 2000N, a nuclear strike variant. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' has a conventional two seat configuration, like most ground attackers, and incorporated a series of improvements to increase its survivability, like improved countermeasure pods, better electronic countermeasures, an improved RWR, and for increased accuracy against ground targets, it received the same weaponry as the Mirage-20005F would later receive, that being AS-30L air to ground missiles, laser guided bombs and targeting pods. It still retained the same radar as the ones in the Mirage 2000C.

-It was introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the lowest BR Mirage 2000 variant, and for a good reason, while it has access to very precise ground ordinance, this comes in small numbers, being able to take 2 x GBU-12s and 2 x AS-30L Nords at the same time, however while doing this, it can also carry 2 x Matra Magic 2 IR missiles. It has a two seat configuration, with more weight, but it still has access to the powerful engine of the Mirage 2000C family, which means that it has good acceleration and low speeds and a high top speed, at the cost of a relatively high fuel consumption, specially when compared to the Mirage F1. In air battles, try using your ordinance to destroy a base, to then switch to air targets and use your Magic 2s against aerial targets, however this vehicle is more suited for ground battle, and it should be used as such, staying at high altitude to drop your laser guided bombs, and then proceed to the laser guided ATGMs at a lower altitude, the AS-30L Nords are specially useful to destroy enemy SPAA from long distances before approaching the battlefield, since their HE warhead is not as reliable as a more conventional HEAT warhead.
