Gaijin won't stop babying Sweden, and as such now the Gripen is apparently immune to missiles

Cry about it

Arcade is a whole other story… gripen is great there. For rb, thats about above average for 13.0. It also depends on whether it’s an uptier or downtier.

wow doing well in a good plane very op definetly gamebreaking

Sorry, but you need to read twice…

He meant Sim and RB
not AB…

Edit: oh wait… I think I should’ve read twice of yours too…

i’m talking especially about how is the gripen in this video completely throwing perfect missile launches away.

Holy skill issue.

Gripen A has no BVR missiles at all at a BR where their use its practically mandatory. It might be the best IR missile dogfighter of the BR, but that type of combat is not the meta at that BR.

BOL is massively artifically nerfed and in need of a MASSIVE buff to restore it to IRL performance. You can read about it here:

What defeated your missiles in the clip was probably large calibre flares it has internally, the exact same as on the aircraft you were flying.

Though that was a really bad shot to begin with.

Aim-9M is probably the weakest IRCCM at top tier most of the time, its exceptionally good in specific niche situations, but id rather have Magic II or R-73 at the moment. Aim-9M is in need of buffs, the main one being a buffed lock range

Viggen DI is actually below average for 13.0. It might have AMRAAM, and its FM is okay, but is has one of the weakest RWRs of that BR and has no IRCCM missiles. It’s radar isnt half bad either, but there are better radars. Tornado F3 Late and F-4F ICE for example, absolutely destroy the Viggen DI.

Viggen D is also fairly average performance for 12.0. Only really the Viggen C is good with 2x Skyflash DFs and a PD radar at 11.3.

Like the Gripen A/C as well, its massively impacted by the aforementioned artificial BOL nerfs that were applied 18 months ago.

Gripen C is not 14.0 worthy, it’s tenative whether its even 13.7 worthy at the moment. Gripen E is needed ASAP to keep Sweden in teh fight at top tier.

Issue on your part, watch for terrain

damn i gotta lock in

Is it just me or do 9ms feel worse after the leviathans update ? It feels like it struggles to lock headon now even on non flaring enemies

Ill fight you Morvan for RB, imo Su-27/33 is the best IR slinger, lest you forget R27ET and R73 lol

Love the Su-27

not my fault that i’m using a flight model objectively worse than the mig21smt.

They feel the same to me and the same as they’ve always felt.

yeah ET is pretty nice and R73 turns like F1 car

IF it is true and you were well aware of it, then it is your fault that you crashed into the ground.

Whats so 14.0 about it ? It has subpar loadout, weak tvr and a nerfed cm pod. It is definetly good but calling it 14.0 level is just delusion

thats sb. sim

Situational, then. Don’t dogfight a better FM, the guy was distracted anyway. Launch a 27er if you have one, or get on a better aspect for your ir missiles.

too much text

MiG19 had to cope against aim7e2 and r60 when f-4e and mig21 smt were added and people still wanted it to move up despite having just three cannons.

BOL is massively artifically nerfed and in need of a MASSIVE buff to restore it to IRL performance. You can read about it here:

BOL is nerfed, but you see it deterring of all the missiles there, the very r73, and r27r’s actively ignoring the solid radar lock way above multipath.

You tell me I rage bait, but you’re always finding a way to bust anything I say even if there’s evidence to support my claims.

I might be tripping tbh I have been playing france alot lately

it literally gets infinite cms. i dont see thats bad. 80 large calibre and then 600 like small calibre
