Or in the case of the Gripen, they don’t buff it if there’s any way possible for the Yanks to complain about it. Even if we have the documentation to prove it is underperforming. But apparently a change that doesn’t do all too much for it is still enough for the yanks to sook on.

The most true words in this thread, couldn’t have said it better.
Sure the 18C late is likely going to get spanked by the Gripen regardless (mostly due to the 18C late just being mid as fuck, but that is off topic), but the US still have the F-15C/E available which shouldn’t even need to get within dogfight range.

what if you actually used the strengths of your plane to win a fight against the gripen instead of putting yourself in the worst position possible (dogfighting it)?

Why do they need something to be able to dogfight?
Part of the air modes is knowing your own and the enemies’ strengths and weaknesses.
If you are inferior in a dogfight, don’t dogfight.

God I love US mains
You sound like the type of person who would turn with a spitfire or zero with a P-47 rather than playing to it’s strengths and then go complain that it’s unfair and they should buff it so it can

Then you will need to submit a bug report with sources confirming that US jets can out-dogfight a Gripen, Typhoon, Rafale, etc.
But as far as I am aware. The US doesnt operate a delta-Canard

I see no Canards!!! :P
But yeah, probably would take that to have something that can match the turn performance
uh right, i didnt saw the canard part, nvm
F-22 can do well in a dogfight but ofc we aren’t allowed that until at least December
Dawg, the Gryffon is the best 4.5 gen Dogfighter, arguably in the entire world. What would you expect? Sweden is known for like, two massive, no, three massive, no four massive things; meatballs, caramelldansen, pewdiepie, and world class fighter jets.

F-22 has thrust vectoring in short range, and even then every advantage it had is gone.
There is very good reason to believe F-22 has much better supersonic manueverability. But in between supersonic and low speed, Rafale beats the F-22

Didn’t the F-22 beat Rafales as well?
And anyways, I said the F-22 would do well in a dogfight, better than any current US jet in-game, which still holds true
Yeah, I think Raptor had six Rafael kills, btw I’m going to delete it I don’t want to start a war.
F-18 is literally a Gripen equivalent.
