Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 4)

Both of them could have a HMD. But if im correct then Gripen C has 8 pylons. A now in gave have 7, which the 7th is used for targeting pod. On C the 8th one was also used for extra fuel tanks, pods, but could also carry 1 extra bomb. Sadly no A2A on it. So i think these will be the differences on them. Not so big.

Now dont know about the weight and engine and other things.

I’m just wondering why the A on the dev server doesn’t get an extra fuel tank

Smugspite · December 11, 2023, 2:17pm

might just not be set up on the dev server?

Kminek246 · December 11, 2023, 2:18pm

Maybe they didnt model them yet…but at the same time all J35s are missing their fuel tanks also.

Sgt_Chieftain · December 11, 2023, 2:18pm

Also, CAS J35 when gaijin?

Kminek246 · December 11, 2023, 2:19pm

OHHH PLEASE. Let me have CAS as 10.3. But i would also love to see other later modification of Drakens. Both Swedish and Finnish

Sgt_Chieftain · December 11, 2023, 2:20pm

Same, I also want to see either the Norwegian or Danish F-16 as a squadron vehicle :P

I too have finally been released from prison.

Dev could add placefolder infrared Air-to-Air Missile with IRCCM on Gripen C from Swedish & SAAF because currently gaijin not ready 5th generation infrared Air-to-Air Missile

Actually, VT4A1 should use DTC-10E 125mm or BTA4 APFSDS, and BTJ-1 as HEATFS, BTE2 as projectail high-explove shell.

Texas_Engineer_Mike · December 11, 2023, 2:28pm

Oh now it gives you a preview of market skin. cool

Texas_Engineer_Mike · December 11, 2023, 2:29pm

Best I can do is Saab 105. Sorry

Raiden_Black · December 11, 2023, 2:30pm

The C2 Ariete upgrade could be called the C3 Ariete.
C3 Ariete will have modification to turret for APU installation, better turret ammunition storage and hard-kill APS.
Italian Army is interested in the C3 Ariete variant but budget is the issue, especially after the Leopard 2 acquisition deal.

hienapunk · December 11, 2023, 2:34pm

This entire update has been a bit of a cluster. I bet they’re scrambling rn.

AWACS Ghost Eye · December 11, 2023, 2:38pm

AFAIK the worst missile mounted on the SAAF gripen is the A-Darter, which makes the R-73 looks like a minecraft firework and the IRCCM of a mike like the corporate looking for difference.

SuTa_basuto · December 11, 2023, 2:42pm

also can add IRIS-T on it, but already denied

AWACS Ghost Eye · December 11, 2023, 2:45pm

Here are something dug out, it is not new but unused:

This is the sparviero, mounted with a DARDO CIWS. The DARDO has twin 40mm bofors guns that is quite popular on frigates since it is one of the lightest western CIWS systems, operated by a variety of countries who operated light frigates and gunboats.

I mean it is equally good, it would be like asking for AIM-9X or PL-10E, that is the problem.

Kminek246 · December 11, 2023, 2:47pm

I hope that Gripen will get some Czech cammo for it. As we had some interesting one. (Personaly i hope it will be the Swedish one as i dont have top tier for UK, so i wouldnt be able to get them there)
