Thats probably the funniest nerf ive seen in this game so far
A plane being nerfed, because of a shoddy model is truly peak

I cant imagine the Gripen would use a loadout without AMRAAMS.
It should be able to take belly SPICE with one centerline AIM-120 but obv its not modelled in game since the jet is still in WIP stage

classic major update
released in a half finished state as always
A quad rack of SPICE 250 weighs like 4 times more than a triple rack of brimstones
A safer claim would be every pylon where a double rack of Pw IV can be, but even then the full rack weighs 520kg which is pretty close to the 495kg of the Gbu-48 that can go on all 6 wing ordonnance pylons.
But the outer wing ordonnance pylon was never shown in renders with the Spice rack so it might be another consideration other than weight, probably physical size, a double Pw IV rack doesn’t physically fit if placed near another one on the outer ordonnance pylon, might be the same with the SQR of Spice.
Actually nvm the SQR is thinner than a full Brimstone Rack, so space wouldn’t be a problem even on the outer pylon.

If you can put a 1000lb bomb on each it logically follows you can put 4x250lb on each.

so 24 it is?
28 if we add the belly one as well, but no tgp then (some say it might interfere with the landing gear but its so thin i think it fits).
This is all conjecture tho, i don’t expect gaijin to give it more than 8, theres a report in so we could get 20 but i expect it to be rejected.

Anyone else finding Aim-9M IRCCM barely working at all at the moment, even in rear-aspect. Had a few times where the missile notably turned towards the flare when fired in rear-aspect
like always nothing is working on patch day
from what i heard ESA radars are bugged and the guidance of some missiles
You don’t need tgp to use spice 250 btw, you can cue them with the IRST which has the same zoom and gen2 thermals so
Dont forget the droptank pylon supports 2000lb dumb bombs
Though can only run 1x PW4 and not the dual pylon, so I wonder if its just a size issue or something, though handles the dual AMRAAM just fine
…Well it also supports a 1000L drop tank

400km ? do you even have the radar ? how is it overperforming in the game lmao.
Yeah the 9M is completely broken currently, it’s IRCCM is honestly just not working anymore.

Literally just explained this, but like this.
I’ve gotten MORE kills with 9M’s this patch than ever before. Even with and through flares.
I’ve always found 9M to be completely useless (compared to Magic 2 and R73) anyway so this was a pleasant surprise
Continues to work in side aspects though. I’ve gotten used to using them when a target presents it side to me, giving a clear left or right inertia track. Typically if they are on the deck they have to come up off the deck to decoy as well which means you can AMRAAM them if they defend.
Mostly though in top tier ARB if someone is on your tail you’re mostly cooked.
