Thanks, so it is a later Saab 35XD with CMs and not the initial Saab A 35XD
Currently only have those 12 CMs as found on the XS. Also only got 1 gun at the moment
I was more concerned about the actual model, as it could have been modelled to be a Saab A 35XD, which to my knowledge would have lacked CMs entirely

It’s a squadron vehicle, imho that’s even better than a TT variant (except for the squadron research time-gate, but it is, what it is)
Yeah, it’s as simple chaff. Notch + chaff is a technique different from Chaff alone.
Eh, i would disagree. Ground radars have a loci, which would be the notch line, which is hard to maintain, but irl they should also have a sort of CW mode, if not the IR track for such situations.
Then you should see how the argument works both ways.
Because when i said its not chaffable you should have understood that i obviously didnt talk about notching.
Brain freeze moment. My bad i was distracted earlier. yes, i know signal to noise ratio
Exactly like it would in the current implementation of SACLOS guidance.
Except for the ACLOS mode, you can guide it all the way until and unless the target notches, in which case you switch to IRST and either use it in a SACLOS way or ACLOS.
Which the Rolands can do (ACLOS via IRST)(dont ask me how, Devil06 knows more about that part)

we are lucky that they didn’t made it a premium one, considering that XS will be taken off the store soon

Just did a little bit of research and this model points toward it being the fully upgraded F-35, the ALR-69 was part of the second to last upgrade and the final upgrade was just electronics stuff that doesn’t matter for WT.
So this Draken could possibly carry additional CM dispensers, AIM-9N-2s, various bombs and Mighty Mouse rocket pods (also jammer pods if we ever get ECM).
It may or may not be unable to carry Bullpups tho
The XS isn’t on the store anymore, it’s a GE premium now
didn’t know that, does it cost less now?
since it doesn’t come with GE and premium account
It’s about the same if you deduct the GE and Premium value
my fellow just sent me a screenshot of stuff it’ll get (im not sure if we’re allowed to post this)

unfortunate
Is it coming as Saab 35 something or F 35?
I also expect a J35J IF it is not placed in the fighters line (Gripen Line)
Saab 35 A XD (WDNS)
Saab F-35 Draken as Gaijin puts it
There is potential for a pre-WDNS Saab 35 A XD or an even earlier variant (a Saab F-35 Draken (early) as Gaijin would most likely put it)

Thanks, just found that it is also a squad vehicle.
Gaijin is allergic to tech tree Drakens
like i said, everyone knows that when we are talking about whether a pd radar can be chaffed or not, it is in a notch. everyone knows this on top tier, no one is clueless. when you would mention a ground radar being unchaffable because of that, as if it is special, people would think the normal way to chaff pd radars (in a notch) would not work. you have to understand that everyone knows how chaffing works here.
more difficult? yes. as chaffable as aircraft radars in a general sense of just do a proper notch and chaff, yes. ir track for those situations might be problematic due to flares being dropped while chaff is also being dropped. yes the pd track is cw.
then it doesn’t really make this radar much different against the things it is being compared to against as a ground radar.
sure id love it to work that way, i wonder if the roland even had irst function in real life, i know the sa-8 didn’t yet it has this ingame. need it anyway for balance though.
It’s a Danish Draken, not a Swedish (or Finnish) one.
Another TT Draken would most likely be a Swedish one, there are plenty of Drakens to choose from, but I wouldn’t expect one to be added anytime soon.
The variant that I would expect to be added next is the J 35F2, as Gaijin finally decided to add AIM-4/26 Falcons (dunno if the J 35J also carried Falcons)
Spoiler
J 35A2
J 35B
J 35F2
J 35J
35 MOD Level 4

has there ever been any discussion or announcement if any of the new SPAA will be deployed as airfield AA in RB or SIM? particularly in SIM, I think airfields with different levels of protection would spice things up a bit (e.g. 1 main airfield with IRIST or SLAMRAAM and the other airfields kept as-is with rolands)
We’re getting a Danish M24 as a TT tank so I think a swedish plane exported to Denmark could 110% be a TT plane.
But the main reason it should be a TT plane is so that the squadron slot can be reserved for the Austrian 35Ö with all aspect missiles. Austria doesn’t belong to any other nation yet and Sweden has the Austrian 105 as a premium, so an Export Austrian Draken would be perfect as a squadron plane.
Unless gaijin is willing to give Sweden two squadron planes.
