Big buff to what were already the best CAS missiles though, not really helpful for things like Brimstones and Mavericks
It makes paveway slinging viable again so i can finally play the german tornado, F-16D, JH-7 etc again
Fair enough
My favourite updates are the ones like Air superiority, updates that have a somewhat decent balance between new and exciting air and ground content. Hopefully we get some more of those this year.
Yep, it’s the only ground vehicle this update that I’m even somewhat excited about. Everything else is either premium, spaa or some low tier stuff that I can’t play for more than 5 games without feeling bad.

ur crazy,gripen E is not touching this game next update lmao. i expect for next update f18E block 2 (usa),f-2A (japan),mig29k(ussr),sufa(israel) and rafale f3M
Name me a feature of the Gripen E (feasibly modelled in wt) thay would be OP compared to something like the Rafale we have currently
Where would you guys rank Rapier in the pecking order of all the British SPAA’s at this BR range? Is it worthy of taking a slot in that 10.3 lineup? Or is it just kinda obsolete compared to what’s already there?
its aesa radar is superior to anything we have ingame. and by dephault is uses the meteor which it can carry 7 of
I plan on using full spaa lineup for the fun of it

Gripen E can carry AMRAAMs so that’s a non issue, and we are beginning to see more and more powerful radars come to the game, the Raven will be missing a lot of features but with TWS+ and improved ESA modelling, it will be an upgrade but not game breaking
Looks cool and is actually british, replacing the Strela in my lineup
by default its supposed to be carring meteors so it will be unrealistic to add it without meteors (which wont touch the game for another year i suppose)
The blocks of typhoon and Rafale we have in game share the same problem, again the Gripen E is compatible with AMRAAM and can come with them if so desired
The Rafale and Eurofighters primary BVRAAM nowadays is also the Meteor, and they were added without it as well. I don’t see the issue here

not the current variants of the typhoon , only tranche 2 and above
We have Tranche 2 Block 10 in game with the P3E pack. Meteor is part of P2E iirc

Anyways the improvements a JAS-39E provide are much needed for the swedish tree, and will be welcome upon addition, however it is comparable to the Rafale and EFT if added right now with 9Ms and Amraams, so I would be fine with that
👍 ok
We have a Rafale from 2019, I’m sure that one should also have meteors already and thus not be in game by your logic.

I would say it massively depends on you as a player in terms of personal skill in leading missiles along with your ping. The very small blast from the missile can require 2 or 3 hits to really knock out an enemy plane in tests, however the missiles extremely good at following targets.
I would put it below the OSA in terms of ease of use and efficiency but thats simply because the OSA is a really good system for general use anyway in my view.
For UK only systems, I would argue its superior to the starstreak on the average level, but if you have exceptional PC/no latency stormer can come out on top.
Strela is strela, cant really compare imo.
If the Rapier had its dual purpose missiles it might be a difference case, but I have never seen any useable documents to judge if it would be a good system with a light anti tank capacity.
But yeah, this is why I pushed/hoped for an early version to be added too in the dev server forum area, as it would mean we can get use out of a lower BR version with impact only (which tbh, I find you are pretty much trying to do anyway lol)
