The ja37di f21 was honestly the worst experience at top-tier air RB i have had recently. With how the meta has developed this one has fallen off hard. My issue with it is that not only is it blind visa-vis the RWR, has less ordinance than most things it faces, its flight model is horrendous but it also does not even get the option to destroy a single base while retaining its extremely limited loadout.
On top of it all it is a premium that people have to pay for which is wild, since there is not a single redeeming quality about it. I suggest it gets at least the option to destroy 1 base via napalm while retaining its current A-A loadout plus a usable RWR, since even 12.3 jets have better RWR than this thing. Its not much to ask for since there are currently 3 free pylons that can be used for bombs/napalm.
What do you want done though? Just this? We do not need more “bombers” in air RB and it’s not a real solution to anything.
Also, this is not world of tanks. Artificial buffs do not happen in WT. Vehicles get their real life attributes.
Amraams?

In short give it napalm bombs it has the pylons for it, so it can also base run + a normal RWR so it can actually defend itself vs the hordes of Su30’s
Can you prove it can carry napalms? Further, would adding napalm bombers to a FIGHTER solve anything? It cannot get a fake RWR that doesn’t exist

Artificial buffs/nerfs absolutely do happen. AMRAAMS is no longer sufficient in the current balance context.
Tbf they could buff the JA37DI with quite a few things to make it more on par with other jets
look pal idk whats ur deal and quite frankly idc, its just my 2 cents. Lets just agree to disagree.
This is a bad look. I ask you for examples of what you claim and you go off about me having some sort of imaginary issue. I suggest in the future if you want things that you bring solid arguments supporting them.

I can just tell when someones is off. I refuse to dignify this any further. I made my claim+suggestion , feel free to agree or disagree.
RB72 (technically had the US not pressured sweden into stopping development of their own missiles it would have been the first production IRCCM missile.) Can be mounted to the J35’s and JA37
And we could get IR-Otis
Also note the early meteor Esq missile on the JA37DI (just more so a nod to it as it was something sweden had been tinkering with when it came to early Ramjet missiles before Meteor,) IR-Otis would give the Pilot a HMS for IR missiles also.
This is what Meteor looks like, so they look pretty similar lol
Summary new IRCCM Missile which would be like Magic 2 tracking and have R23T performance iirc, and a IR helmet sight and IRST tracker for the JA37Di

I’m sure you think you can.
👏👏 My man pulled through with a fully prepared presentation and receipts faster than a warthunder player ragebaiting on a fresh post on the forums. Cudos to u fine gentleman.

This is the kind of stuff I’d want added to fix issues like this rather than fantasy buffs that have no basis. James doesn’t want real conversations though. They’d rather antagonize and be passive aggressive rather than talk about it.
Ir-Otis also was tested on the JAS39A could be a nice way to buff it since it basically relies on IR missiles for its BR.
Yes the image had a water mark so the pylon is floating so heres the image without the watermark

I like nordic aircraft, even if a swede built them, im biased since the J35 is my fav jet(well, the F35 model that is from my home Denmark)
I think you both just got on the wrong foot. Regardless i posted what i know, im pretty sure @Michael-IR could help a bit more, hes more knowledgeable then myself on the silly Ikea wings of the JA37 variety
