I just unlocked the ability to get AJS37 or JA37C i dont know which to unlock both seem good can somebody reccomend?
I might depend on your playstyle.
The JA37C has radar missiles, a slightly better engine, radar gunsight and its RWR can detect launches (but in fewer radar bands).
The AJS37 has better IR missiles, its RWR can detect more bands (but can’t detect launches) and it gets ground ordinance.
(You can look at the wiki comparison here: Vehicle Comparison | War Thunder Wiki )
just tell me which overall is better i need ur opinion keep in mind that the ajs37 has bad guns
There is no “overall better” , it depends on what you want to use it for and how you usually play. One is an attacker and the other is a fighter.
which you would choose air to air
JA37 no doubt. The AJS37 loses too much of the airframes abilities because it has to carry external ordenance and the gunpod is very akward to aim because of where it sits.
Edit: The AJS37 can carry up to 4 all aspects (but you’ll have to give up either gunpods or countermeasures for 2 of them) and once you get the hang of the radar dogfight missiles on the JA37C they’re almost as good as the missiles on the AJS except they’ll ignore flares completely

The JA37C is probably the best choice, the radar gunsight, built in gun and radar missiles make it way better there. Can be a bit trickier to learn though. but it might be good to learn it anyway since you need the knowledge for the higher BR’s anyway.
The AJS37 has better IR missiles so it’s slightly easier to use but can be countered easier with flares. The external gun pods means that it loses some mobility due to the added weight and drag.

thats the thing, its kinda hard.
the ja37c is IN THEORY really good, the problem is that grinding to the sarh’s will make you go mentally insane with how bad a grind it is, because youre stuck with 2 aim9p’s and 4 aim9b’s until you get the aim9p upgrade, which is a rank 3 mod… ya its bad.
and you might say hey, the ja37c has a good gun, and technically speaking it is ok, problem is that thanks to the limited ammo, no tracers, poor gun tracking system (fun fact its worse than the arcade sight the game gives you) and low velocity, means that getting air kills with the gun, is more based on luck then doing anything, add on that the thing bleed speeds like a brick, and doesnt have the thrust to regain it at a good enough rate means dogfights are something you cant do, and you dont have the top speed to out run most other planes.
and the worse bit is, the ajs37, is technically worse. sad reality is, swedish jets are pretty bad until the 39 and even then, theyre not the best, theyre just average.
Currently grinding the JA37C right now so I can attest to how terrible the grind is. One of the worst so far because both the G-Suit and RB71s are a tier iv modification. The gun is way better than I anticipated and have gotten a large amount of my kills with it.
