Considering they just bought a new radar for the Typhoon, probably not going to buy Gripen E

It was absolutely unreasonable at 8.7 and its BR increase was a long time coming.

A br decompression would be nice, huh?

From what I can see so far, they are working together on some systems for the E and also looking to sell it in specific parts of the world due to current events. Read between the lines there please lol.
@Deathmisser sorry if I had your hopes up for a possible E addition to the tree.
Plus don’t forget he is the most vocal Russian main so yea lol
The UK owns a Gripen D.
It’s absolutely hysterical that almost every helicopter in the game is moving up EXCEPT the ka-50, which is the most clearly undertiered one imo.

I guess that might be our new top tier jet then ?
Yeah, but they are probably not going to
At most its going to be co-development and support in selling it. Probably to Ukraine and not buy and operate them themselves as part of the RAF
We can hope, but I’m not optimistic.
I’m expecting Sea Harrier FA.2 or a Tornado with AMRAAMs. Both garbage.

279 is gonna have tough times in uptier 10.0 like M1128 with M900 round

Yes I know I was agreeing with you, I was just stating it was a strategic partnership to develop more for the aircraft and sell it to Ukraine.
Great Lvrbv at 9.7
And only needed a premium A32A for Gaijin to realize that it was overtiered
FA2 would be fine initially, with the right advantages. but the issue is it would be outdated fast without constant buffs.
Best guess is if we get gripen, it would be the Gripen D not the SAAF Gripen C and it would be the update after Sweden got Gripen C, so maybe March
seeing how their pilots are already being trained in the f16 it seems more likely to me that the ukraine will be buying f16 in the future
So?
Vehicles shouldn’t be balanced around uptiers, they should be balanced at their appropriate BR.

So? Tornado F3 stands no chance vs F-16C, Tornado F3 to 10.3 so it can never see uptiers?
Yes, again I’m just going off the article I just posted above haha. It was a British think tank that came up with the Gripen E sale to Ukraine. I only brought this up because I thought y’all would find it interesting
Ofc gaijin have to break the 9.0, 9.3 and 10.0 italian lineup. Want to Place the Hungarian T-72 in a lineup? Bring a 9.3 lineup at 9.7 or 9.0 at 9.3
Also with this br changes the Ariete (P) Is going to have a higher br than the turms.
Gaijin Never fail to disappoint me

Even if they give it AMRAAMs and 9Ms, it will be so boring to use at top tier. It’s a strike aircraft repurposed for carrier fleet defence. It’s brilliant in it’s role, but it is not going to be remotely fun to use at top tier imo. The UK hasn’t had a properly manoeuvrable competitive fighter added in years.
