JA37DI Discussion

That means literally nothing. I do that regularly on targets with DL channels and they guide in perfectly fine and targets show up on radar while receiving corse corrections as well.
For the first shot, yes my aircraft’s radar was notched later on, but it was notched at such a late point that the missile would have gained a lock by then. Based on the angle the Aim120 was coming in from it also couldn’t have been notched itself. The second one could have been notched yes, especially as I stopped providing guidance after a bit.
However I have yet to see anyone other than you claim it acts as infinite datalink channels, especially when everyone always complain about a lack of channels on the harrier. If the lack of DL channels was truly an advantage I’m sure I’d see a bit less talk about it, or at least have heard about it before now.

If you still don’t believe me I’ll hop into another custom and give it a try again, but I’m positive I’ll see the same results.

Good luck giving it historical flight performance, gaijin takes forever in updating FMs unless its nerfs.

depends when the report is made

Given the AV-8B+, one of the most modern Aim-120 slingers ingame, is missing its datalink channels, all I’ll say is good luck on getting some for the viggen…

F 35/A35XD which has chaff/flares, missiles and bombs all at the same time

Would be about 1970ish as the first actual paid for draken didn’t arrive here in denmark until 72, of which only 3 arrived to begin with. It was the 80s iirc that we changed them to have the CM’s and a few other changes to the vehicle.

Previous premium only Viggen Di moved to the techtree. Foldered with JA37D. New JA37Di (F21) added as a premium.

That’s a funny looking viggen for a tech tree image.

Why gajin call this name ? 🤔

Personally, not bad the early aircraft premium pack rank 8 for sweden tech tree

Awesome! Hopefully the tech tree one also gets some more camouflages with the drop of the update

answered in R&R:

I wish we cold get more Jaktviggen camos. Not necessarily fully historical to the model. I’d be fine with some of these JA37D/C camos being added to the Di model:

This is my favourite :) Unlocked it through a crate for my 37C

Make a suggestion for it, unfortunately unless it russia or the US they tend to not bother adding camos

Im gonna be pretty sad if we get yet another grå viggen, idk im kinda tired of gaijin not bothering to add camos to nations aside from Russia and America.

I’ll wait for them to go on market (since Black Knight camo is denied to be coming to Di)

Yeah, Neither of the new Viggens, Premium and TT, show any Data link channels on their radars.

Just for funsies, I’ll provide some additional information on the aircraft seen in-game.

The specific aircraft we have in-game is from the F 21 Norrbottens flygflottilj (Norrbotten Air Wing), more specifically from the 1. Division of F 21. This division (formal designation 211. spaningsflygdivisionen, callsign Urban Röd at that time). Urban Röd’s insignia is the wolf in a red letter U. In this U is written “Akktu Stakki”, translated as “Lone Wolf”.

Interestingly, however, I haven’t found any formal indication that Urban Röd ever used the JA 37 in any variant as my information designates Urban Röd as a reconnaissance squadron at the time, seemingly supported by the formal designation having the “spaning-” (“reconnaissance”) prefix.

I think Urban Röd might not be the actual unit the aircraft belonged to but rather the pilot, doing some demonstration flying maybe?

Really thats kinda dumb, are any camos planned for the TT or is it just another plain viggen? Boring and very typical for them to not bother with swedish camos, yet theyll add 40 camos to any US or Russian jet.

That idk

Welp great to know i can skip this viggen for about 2 years and see if its even in a slightly playable state when its fighting F22’s at 14.0 lmao
