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

not really since Stormbreaker is a Dedicated Anti tank munition and SPICE-250 is just a small guided bomb

that’s also why SPICE just uses IR guidance and Not ARH/SAL Like Stormbreaker, Brimstone and SPEAR

well not without twin launchers

Its slightly lighter and has a MAWs system and 360 degree RWR. Based on what I have read

even then we are 2 missiles short

the gripen e has 9 pylons

and Triple AMRAAM/METEOR Rails

Oh, they look very similar.

2 on the wingtip + 6 on the wings + 3 on the belly

2+6+3 = 11 unless Im really bad at math

Also this, what would the IR tracker be?

Could be 8 on the wings and none on the tips as well

it still only carries 3 missiles on each wing
plus 3 on the belly

2x3 = 6
6 + 3 = 9

Maybe, but never seen a render for that though. Seems the double AMRAAM for the wing is usually used to maintain the 4x AMRAAM whilst also running something like Drop tanks. But is only renders at the moment ive seen, so unless its actually be done, it probably wont be added

if renders were enough we had the EF with 14 amraams

There is mockups of Gripens with twin mount AMRAAM on the outer most underwing pylon

Thats where the other 2 probably could come from

@Smin1080p_WT could you explain why Gaijin went with the early Gripen E prototype model over the actual Gripen E? It could just be because whoever did the model has no idea what the Gripen E is but its missing the extended wing that it should have

Both have IRST but the 6002 irl also received the extened wing design so the version in game is technically wring as production model Gripen E’s have this extended wing

Even the F-39’s have it

I think the difference is official renders from SAAB, I dont think that was by BAE or anyone official.

So its Gaijins discretion

thats not even a mockup thats just a render

the beast mode thing came from the Eurofighter GmBH

@ron_23 Technically there is work for a dual Meteor rail but thats still in development currently, we only have renders we just know its in the works

Gaijin could technically add these if they wanted to to bring it up in BR since the Gripen E currently is only 14.0 material, basically a F15E in mobility and agility

where ? can u link the full video ?

That’s true there could be weight concerns. They are way heavier than brimstones after all
