If you fell for the €80 bait then i have limited sympathy, no reason for it to be much better tbh. Only fix would be to place it at 13.0 with the F-4F but besides that ig it could get an HMD but that only goes so far.

would only work in a limited frontal arc since it was connected to an IRST/EOTS system on the nose

Ignore the premium version; talk about the tech tree version. I’ve been waiting for the RB99 Viggen D for ages. Now that I’m flying it, I’m like, “Damn, I can’t beat anything in a dogfight because I fall out of the sky if I try to turn.”
My father flew the JA-37D and C, and he says the energy loss during sustained turns is ludicrous, This might just be becaus of the keyboard input ofc.
The problem is not about to buff them or not, the issue is that the JA37DI goes against the F15E. F15E can cruise at 2.5 Mach, plus they can fire AAM from 60+km away. The JA37DI is a good plane, and is extremely dangerous in the right hands, but the problem is that the enemies it faces are just too OP for what the JA37DI should be up against.
I would suggest either move the JA37DI to 12.3 so it does not go against F15E or move the F15E to at least 14.3

We need another BR decompression with these new jets being added, they’re just on new/higher level of gameplay compared to 3rd gen viggen/f4 ice but with amraams. There should be at least 1.0 gap between f15e/i and 3rd++ gen aircrafts
I’m also using ja37di, just opened the server played 28 games of 13.7 before going into 1 game of 12.0

Basically every game is a top room, which is deadly for this plane

i havent yet grinded the tech tree plane but i think this could work just fine in SIM, just a thought. there you wont be fighting any 13.3-13.7 planes.
also if there was HMD and IRST tested on this i think they should give it even one of those.
i dont know why are you expecting the jas37di to be good theres a reason its a fodler its just a bad jet and thats it its a delta wing so bye bye bye speed in turns and a bad engine to gain back speed. its just a bad jets thats all + you have the grippen A in the same br so just use that

Unfortunately you are wrong, ja37d is a pretty normal airplane, but it sits at 12.0, but unfortunately you can’t say the same about models with amraams.
you missed my entire point also i never called the ja37d bad i called the jas37di bad.
Well assuming it has the same barriers as the IR-OTIS camera were looking at +75/-20 and 130 degrees to both sides
Is the horrendous energy retention realistic or not? It seems excessive—literally falling out of the sky when turning and unable to win any dogfight because of this.
My father was a Viggen JA-37D pilot during the '90s and early '00s, and he thinks it’s excessive. Then again, this might be due to keyboard turning causing retarded aoa unlike in real life where you can manage your pull better.

I’m curious if the current JA37D’s RWR is correct, the in-game JA37D doesn’t have a model of the RWR display.
im not sure if the 4 zone thing is realistic.
the manual for exact rwr details is still classified afaik but one of the ones that are declassified have a page where it shows 4 lights (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) as rwr related lights. they’re around the center radar display.
i guess gaijin uses that as a source and they decided that it only gets 4 zones… i find it hard to believe that they went backwards with the JA compared to the AJ/AJS
And when did a JA37Di get these upgrades IRL?
Well your dad wasn’t pulling 12G turns all the time like we are. JA37 performance has been corrected according to manual charts AFAIK, that’s just how relatively early delta wings behave.
12.3 is INSANE and that should never happen, AMRAAMs do not belong at the same BR as sparrow F-16s
Sorry to hear that you was forced to buy it after EVERY content creator said it was shit while reviewing it

Are you a comedian? You want to mess up 11.3-12.3?
That was my reaction too lol
Personally, I think moving up the F15E to 14.3, and all of the current 13.7’s to 14.0 would grant a better result. Some more decompression to help the early aim120 slingers
