After @Smin1080p_WT’s clarification concerning the JA37DI I have decided to rename the Thread.
I myself have been awaiting a Viggen with RB99s / Aim-120s since the release of update seek and destroy.
I’d like to here everyone’s opinion on the matter.
It shouldn’t be a premium, yeah, especially since there’s a one-off prototype with IRST that would have been a perfect premium, with the Di being in the tech tree.
I agree, AMRAAM’s don’t belong on premiums yet.
We all speed on it. Game become war of wallets. Nothing unique, just copy paste of previous vehicles and new premiums
I mean an event vehicle already has ARH missiles (Jeff - SD-10s) so the p2w to fox 3 line has already been crossed.
I take less Issue with it being a premium jet with fox 3s but rather with Gaijin deciding to not at least also add the RB99s to the regular JA37D or add the JA37DI as a tech tree vehicle as many players, including me have, have been awaiting it for a long time.
As much as I hate to be a pessimist, this is normal behaviour.
I am happy that if I do want to grind Swedish air at some point (unlikely given the Eurofighter and Rafale will shit on the Gripen), Sweden gets a capable premium to do it in.
Yeah I’m not really that mad Gaijin decided to add it as a premium, since it really is just a JA37D with new MFDs but they could’ve at least also added the RB99s to the JA37D that’s already in the thech tree.
It is a GIANT punch to the face. There is ZERO reason to play sweden now if you have a wallet.
2 Other nations have Gripen with more unique vehicles.
Best Viggen/ja37 is now a premium.
Best Draken/j35 is premium.
J/A32 available as premium.
Arguably best Tunnan/J29 is premium.
And to cap it off, you can get the Saab as a premium.
The ONLY other unique planes to sweden is the A21s and T18s. An absolute JOKE of an (Air) Nation now.
Gaijin remove the AMRAAMs AIM120s from the Di.
D/Di has a bad RWR, bad flight model, and bad engine for the BR of 13.0, but it can’t be lowered cause of RB-99.
There’s plenty of reason to play Swedish tech tree vehicles.
Sadly another F-20 incident. A lot of us wanted it tech tree, took a punch in the sack. I don’t play sweden and probably never will but I agree, it’s a massive bummer seeing the greed come out ( again) for when it comes to impactful additions like these.
That is the most squadron vehicle of all possible squadron vehicles and gaijin make it a premium.
Give SH 37 as a premium for example. AIM-9Ls, Rank VII. Actually competitive compared to J35XS
It should have been either in the TT foldered with the D Viggen or as a Squadron Vehicle.
But hey, atleast now Gaijin has put out a premium with Fox 3 so now new players can play top tier and complain about being killed all the time
Yep, not only that, but it means a massive flood of noobs trying to grasp their hands on, IIRC the first premium ARH carrier…
Straight up 10k off the Gripen A, and 13.0 is going to be ruined, for a while. Swedens now going to be on both teams most likely too.
Let alone the fact they could have released this ages ago, and would have been massive help in my air grind.
this would’ve been acceptable if it wasn’t for the fact that the 37C doesn’t get 9Ls and the 37D doesn’t get 120Bs Gaijin could’ve seriously just added the 37A, give it flare pods the same loadout options as the 37C and then call it a day, but NO! we got to pay 70 dollars to finally experience the 37D the way it was meant to be used.
yes I understand it’ll be basically like the F4 ICE and yes it’ll likely be sad to play at 13.0 or even 13.3 but honestly I just want the tech tree to see more love than the honestly already over saturated premium choices
Same RWR as the D version.
Same flight model as the D version.
Same Engine as the D version.
Its the same plane as the JA37D but with RB99, you really need to fact check the stupidity you say, it’s impossible to underestimate you
I feel the same as you, I’ve been waiting for the JA37C and D to finally receive their correct munitions for ages now, and instead of actually adressing the problem at hand Gaijin decides to not only add a new premium aircraft no one asked for but also still not fix the tech tree vehicles.
do they switch place?
it is regular D that should be premium not this one with AMRAAM
now they can right straight buy AMRAAM plane without grinding
Gaijin have finally lost their mind
more like big D
