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

True. True…

Its simply just a show of over compression, like when the Su-27 and such first dropped and people had to beg to push them up in BR

Weren’t there renders of gripen e with double racks

I don’t believe so, besides it wouldn’t be added regardless

Yes but iirc that was related to the double Meteor rails, which are still in development…

So never going to be added like i said

Interesting @kizvy
The LAU-139 for the Gripen is also a variation of the LAU-127 Launcher.

Guess it must’ve had some form of testing at some point

Huh, well like you said though I doubt theyd give it even with this

Yeah, given how long it took gaijin to give the EFT’s their double racks the Gripen definitely wouldn’t get these lol

funnily enough the dual rail render for the EFT has them on all but the on rail we have them on lol

If anything I havent forgotten how Sweden is treated in WT, Gaijins “Favorite Nation in WT”

Guess it was for balance. Though if the EFT can have render based arms then i see no reason the Gripen couldn’t especially since its still going to be worse even with more missiles.

3 leopards equal favorite nation, any and all other problems are rendered moot

its not based on renders, the dual rails we have currently that use 9Ms use the same rails all the other missile capable pylons use and are compatible with AMRAAMs

So then the same argument could work for the Gripens given have there been photos of the EFTs IRL with dual AMRAAM’s?

does gripen have dual rails? ones that arent in renders i mean

Literally the standard dual rail used on the F18’s and such. They just haven’t been seen using them with dual missiles

LAU-139

Its a model based on the LAU-127 for the F18’s

need the dual meteor racks to finish developing so Gripen E can have more missiles than the Typhoon again in the future

Have a link to that article by chance?

idk at least with the eurofighter we have seen them using the dual rails with IR missiles

we havent seen gripens with any form of dual rail
