Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

You don’t need a line for a sub tree

As far as i know Australia has never been called a sub tree (Even though it looks like more of one then India which actually is)

AUS (and CAN) likely won’t be subnations of UK as their vehicles also go to other nations (usually US for AUS and GER for CAN)

I dont feel like pinging the man about something so irrelevant

He’ll see the ping and immediately think its for the Gripen lmao. He probably has a timer going

Whoever made the 3D model for the JAS39E did a fantastic jobb! :) I went into a deep dive into the visual differences recently so i know what to look for :)

They even added the “box” on the nosecone that i initially missed, it’s VERY subtle from images of the IRL aircraft.

One thing they missed though is the extended trailing edge flaps, is this something know or should we report it?

(Images and sources for the flap in my post here: JAS-39E for Sweden - #361 by Necronomica )

Already said multiple times by him.
No line needed. Any nation declared as a subtree/subnation is just that. India is a subnation and has no line

Based for using images from Facebook

I mean, it’s screengrabs from SAABs own videos of the actual aircraft being delivered to the Swedish air force.

I know I just like that the link is specifically from FB :p

Also the “box” youre reffering to is the IRST I believe

It still missing vt4

@Smin1080p_WT I’d also like to know when it’s a good time to start bug reporting the 39E. I assume it’ll be out of it’s ‘configuration stage’ when we see its 9 pylons and skin appear?

Still a good bit missing of course, like the HMD, MFD, cockpit is pretty inaccurate etc.

it has HMD and MFD just not the better versions is what you mean right?

After dev update tomorrow I guess, and today might see preorder su30mkk?

The IRST is the “tube”. I’m referring to the square just in front of the IRST on top of the nose cone.

It’s almost impossible to see on the IRL aircraft due to the colors but it is there.

if I remember correctly they haven’t decide if it will be pack Squadron GE or TT yet

Are people still arguing on sub trees ?
check
Are the British involved ?
check
Have they complained about Australia ?
ceck

When are we mentioning the EPA ?

Smin said its unlikely its a pack prem

It’s got the wrong HMD, it currently has the Cobra helmet from the 39C, but the 39E uses the Targo 2 which also has DL features. The MFD is very unfinished as you can clearly tell, it’s also missing some things in the cockpit, including things for the MFD
