Gripen E near impossible to use in Air Realistic

dont bother, C5s are the worst missile ive ever had the misfortune to use. Stick with RB99s, fly at 6-7km altitude and fire them from Mach 1.2-1.3 at targets within 30-20km range, closer the better but also more dangerous. Play defensive and then turn in. Sometimes youll get ooga booga’d by typhoons or rafales other times youll be the one doing the ooga booga.

What ive noticed in regards to 9Ms is that compared to GRB, in ARB even at the same distance and under the same release parameters they perform abysmally. Not exclusive to 9Ms btw, same could be said about Archers and AAM3s. They just feel like they overcorrect a lot and then fail to turn in afterwards.
In any case, 7 Rb99s and 2 AIM9Ms are very good, along with gripen Es FM and the metric shitton of chaff and flares and the incredible AESA radar, im more surprised its not 14.3

absolutely not! It’s already better than a couple of 14.3. It’s undertiered at 14.0.

Maybe spade the thing first before asking for it to be lowered in BR lol.

F2 has 4 fox3 at 13.7 and you want the gripen e to go to the same br? It’s not as good as 14.3 but better than 13.7. Plus the f15ge and f18e are not as good as rafale and su30sm2 but its still 14.3. I find it funny a gripen e can kill an f14 tomcat.

44

The Gripen literally has double the CM count…that is my only point in this regard

45

Agreed always found the placement of 14.0 strange, when planes like the F-15GE exists

Or the Super Hornet and J-10C, which are both arguably worse than the Gripen E.

We love compression, did you even think of the Que Times? BVVD would cry if he had to properly decompress the game

yeah, you can’t expect players to wait 10 more seconds to start a game. That would just be evil.

Proceeds to completely break the 10.3-10.7 GRB matchmaker by releasing the BMPTs, meaning you sometimes have to wait like 3-5 minutes for a game to form.

Ngl i was expecting a planned br changes by now im kinda shocked we still haven’t gotten 1 when we have planes like the Su-30sm and SM2 at the same br same thing with the Eurofighters.

We got decomp sorta when the Gripen/su27/f15 first came in but now we cant do that muh que times would suffer

10 more? With air? Maybe .2 seconds this isn’t naval where finding a match can take 10 sec to 30 minutes

A lot of the devs are on holiday iirc. The first general BR changes usually happen in late january for the preliminary list and first half of february for the updated list.

53

fair enough devs gotta take a break too, wish they had just done a small br adjustment when they added them in the first place tho

54

Still have yet to get more than 3 kills in total after firing over 100 120s from different ranges.

55

i dont know if thats something you should publicly admit on here

56

Considering how almost everyone agrees how badly the 120s are underperforming I need to show proof. Check my stats with the Gripen e and you will see how bad it is. Fired 120Cs at range, fired RB-99s up close, they miss over 90% of the time

57

I would rather play a plane with 6 9Ls at 13.0 over having 7 aim-120s at the moment.

58

Yeah lol it’s just that eurocanards are still severely undertiered

Yeah they def need major buff but you can def still get good kill games with plane that only use aim120s.

Anyway, the Gripen E will probably make more sense once new missiles are introduced (meteor, iris-t, aim-120d with hopefully a buff/fix…)
