Jas 39c in the Swedish tree is missing 8 GBU 39s. Doesn’t really make sense to limit it when they are not target tracking FnF munitions. Gripen would have to give up Rb 99s and countermeasures to take these bombs on these pylons so it is also dubious on a balance standpoint.

With their track record of trying to murder the Gripen’s capabilities in any way possible, I was inclined to put this up as soon as I saw the issue. If they aren’t going to improve/fix the agility (or tone down everything else that’s overperforming excessively), then the next best thing is a half useful payload.
Just saw under the changelog thread that Gripen is missing Gbu 49 apparently. GBU 49 has made it into the game on the Mirage 2000D-RMV.
If this is correct, has a bug report been made for it? I’m a touch too ill and tired to recall it, and on the verge of passing out so asking you.
Not that i can see, the closest i can find is a report for missing GBU-39 and GBU-49 that got marked as duplicate but the link goes to a report on only the GBU-39 so i’m unsure.
Would you be able to do anything about it? If you’ve time. I’ve strife with the bug report system for some reason. Only if you’ve time.
Not currently, i can take a look tomorrow if there isn’t already a note behind the scenes.
@Gunjob
Do you know anything about if GBU-49 is reported for the JAS39C?
Cheers.
Also reminded in another thread, is there any word on the centreline ground ordnance? Now that I’ve added that here, I’m going to pass out.
No idea, Technical Moderators deal with any bug-reporting/historical inaccuracies.
Game Masters deal with chat- and name-bans. :)
Well, here’s hoping one of them rocks up with knowledge 😿
Now forum being closed and nap being taken.
If I’m not mistaken, the JAS39C can carry GBUs on the center pylon.
It can also be armed with Brimstones.
Hopefully we see these?
In dev server GBU-39 SDB I on swedish Gripen C pylon incomplete ?
My personally, GBU-31(V)1/B JDAM (Mk 83) replace with GBU-49 Enhanced Paveway II in tier II modification
Theoretically, Gripen can carry Brimstone. But I don’t think Brimstone was used in Swedish service.
Though who knows if that actually matters given the SAAF Gripen is made up almost entirely of fictional ordnance. AGM 65G was added to Gripen as a balancing thing too. So we could argue Brimstone would help balance the ordnance count compared to other nations.
