It was not my intention, nor was I thinking of “blaming” Sweden. I used them as an example as I thought them getting G mavs was a sign of them getting most “capable” Gripen weapons, hence why I mentioned it. Sorry if it came out wrong, but that is not what I intended to say if it came out like that
I also was not aware of it having Mavs first
Im sorry but the way you phrased very much looks like you putting blame on sweden, and you not only continued to make them the target of blame but actively avoided checking if it was correct. Im sorry but that is just horrible to see misinformation being used especially in a tone that tries to negatively reflect a certain nation.
I could list numerous things that SAAF got over the Gripen A, like AGM65A VS the SAAF B model, or the SAAF getting paveway instead of dumb bombs, but yes sweden bias.
Once again, it was not my intention. I used Sweden to compare the weapon because it’s the only nation I know (aside Hungary) who does not has G mavs. If I knew the Thai one didn’t have them then I would use them as an example too. It was not meant to be directed towards Sweden, more so me thinking that the Gripen slowly got it’s weapons from other countries. It’s the only reason why I mentioned them. Considering balance is now more to “similar” planes such as EFTs all having Brimstones, I said that comment as it would make sense too.
Once again, sorry, but that was not what I have intended to do
Edit: About your RB75T comment; no, that was not my thought process behind it. I didnt say it because it was heavier and therefore could be carried, but because it was Swedens last Mav they had. Once again, this is not directed towards Sweden. Please understand that is not what I meant, as I honestly have nothing negative against Sweden
Sorry but thats absolutely terrible idea. C gripen with ARHs, no matter how bad, shouldnt be facing 12.3s in downtier.
Then it should recieve the Aim-120. There no reason to give the jas39c a worse and historically inaccurate missile kit.
then give it aim 120.
besides theres the premium F18 at 12.7 which has a close in performance missile and far more of them, its a better plane as its not relying on the aim 9b of fox 3s.
id even say the 12.3 hornet can outplay the SA gripen pretty easy
Define whats a “close-in performance missile” because i played both AIM-7Ps and Derbys and theres day and night difference.
they dont randomly lose track like the sharter does. Genuinley I do better with aim 9M than the darter
yea 100% lol, I run 4 9Ms and 2 Darters
Russian main will tell you how R-77 is worse missile in the game nothing come close when it actually R-darter is worse missile in the game.
until the typhoon came out i genuinley would just take the harrier GR7 to top tier as it handled it far better with the amount of CM and being able to VIFF
Dunno what to tell you.
If you said that Derbys/Darter have weird flight trajectory, yea i can see that, but never had issue with Derbys randomly losing lock, if anything they kept it the same as amraams.
Maybe even better on Kfir because the AESA radar at least work when compared to Captor-M, lmao.
Worst fox3* the fireflash is the worst missile in game
The Gripen radar isn’t the Captor-M (criminal what gaijin did to the captor), The Gripen uses the PS-05. Anyway the R-Darters seem to have the chaff resistance of an R-3R or decide that the air is a better target than the plane you sent them at.
I know, i was reffering to EFT.
Any practical difference between Darter and Derby?
their trajectory while tracking isnt awful. they just lose concentration on anything like when you hold a phone in front of a brainrotted toddler. sometimes targets haven’t even needed to chaff, just fly in a straight line to escape them
their weak range also makes them hardly worth taking over a 9m which you can do a stealthier launch with too.
Gripen doesn’t use a captor radar btw, that would make it worse lmao. Somehow the C&Pd blue vixen and made it handle worse.
I know, i was reffering to EFT.
Unless theres factual difference between darters and derbys, doesnt sound like my experience with Kfir C10
Which C variant should have upgraded MK IV version of it it non AESA upgrade version
may genuinley just be a better radar and datalink on the Kfir giving the missile a better chance in the first couple seconds if the derby is the same missile in entirety. The PS 05 is a pretty mid radar so may just be this
Possibly. Maybe do a testflight comparison?
