Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

AJ37 & AJS37 Viggen equipped ECM pod on left wing ?

I had a hunch that gaijin might expand max BR (Air AB, RB & SB) to 14.7 after this major update

Second or third or fourth quarter, my guess

But after this major update

Doubtful
If gaijin wanted to they can add a few different models of NG as premium. As the NG has a few where the IRST mount isn’t present.

Also the NG/E is bigger than a Gripen C. Its not 2 hardpoints its 9. 7 meteor/Fox3 and 2 IRIS-T or whatever missile gaijin wants.

Gripen E literally has the strongest EW kit right now. No reason to add it in a gimped form outside of dullards who have no idea the NG exists (no offense, just get tired of people saying Gripen E should be added next.)

AJ and AJS alongside JA can mount the ECM pod on either far left or right wing tip.

Well, I’m not saying they should do it like that, but judging by past decisions, it seems very likely that they will do it like that.
I can’t imagine them seeing EW not being modelled as a reason not to add the Gripen E straightaway.

Idk gaijin seemed pretty contempt to let sweden be stuck with the A model when the SAAF C first arrived and the Viggen without countermeasures at 11.0

What about F-35? And EA-18G? Rafale F4?

I mean, why do you think I feel like they’ll do it like that?

I hear that everywhere even in videos but is there sources about it ?

Think theres a few public sources from tests but i dont have any specific documents on me since im on mobile rn.

I don’t know of any and well, there are no combat records due to the lack of conflicts involving Gripen E operators

Gaijin clearly wants to extend the Swedish tree. Otherwise they would’ve chosen the MLU 1 to be on par with the US f-18C. Gaijin knows sweden now has about 2 air vehicles left and people will stop playing and grinding the tree if nothing is being added. Thats a loss of revenue.

Unless gaijin wants to add FS2020 hybrid lol (saabs 5th gen fighter program)

Who is to say that they won’t just split the Gripen E into an early and a late variant?

Because it doesn’t exist? They’ve been pretty straight forward that sweden has to stay close to historical accuracy and that the vehicles Need (sure gaijin keep lying) to have differences. Additionally they already make us grind the same aircraft 3 times. NG is more flexible since they can add a model with current missiles and with next gen missiles then same deal with Gripen E if their desperate.

NG already is essentially the Gripen E. Just without EW kit. Not like it changes much and gaijin could sell a E premium with your proposed early concept.

Well, they will have to split it up if they are ever introducing Meteors, IRIS-Ts, and the likes unless they plan to add those at a ridiculously low BR

Did i hear $100 premium Gripen NG 18?

With Meteor and IRIS-T and 1 BR below the standard Gripen NG because is lacks IRST

You gotta admit this is beyond cursed

That or they add the NG without IRST to the TT and the prem model at the same BR has IRST. Gotta get people to buy C&P somehow. Since theres 3 vehicles left.
