1 way dl allows that too

Plus by the time a missile is notched in game it usually overshots/ is out of energy

Dev server is on monday this time? I wonder what sort of vehicle or feature they plan on jump scaring us with now…

wow woke up saw new dev blog and its made me realise I think gaijin employees are just lazy at this point lol 90% sure Smin spends more time a day babysitting us all, then the entire dev team spend daily fixing or adding things to the game

Gaijin should open the game to mods. i bet random people can do better at modeling aircraft than them

Gripen Demo is a prototype testbed version of the JAS39D, so no, the E isn’t the gripen Demo.
What is currently in-game is JAS39E early serries production used for certifications and safety tests (like integrating new weapons/software/etc).

Yeah especially when we just have the basic radar and RWR overlay rather than the swedish one

God this looks pathetic but go figure they’ve ignored the A

Did we come to a agreement for the name then with the E outside of SAAB test production model? It’s not a Gripen E but it’s also not a Gripen E early as it’s older than the actual production model Gripen E

Imo it should just be called SAAB 396002

Not sure what you are refering to here?

if you’ve every had to notch the R27er you know how much harder to notch reconnecting datalink makes a missile couple that with 0 INS drift and you get some insane lethality, all they have to do is change that stat from NO to YES in the stats and i would consider it a worth while upgrade over the C-5

They really had to reach hard to hype this F-16 up with those bulletpoints lmao.

Given it’s not a Gripen E especially given it’s not even the model in service with the Flygvapnet did we come to an agreement to call it cause Gripen E is technically wrong.

i feel like theres so many cockpits that have such low effort put into them, i also hate how most cockpits dont show nctr names on the radar screen, only in 3rd person tws

Its the F-15C GE all over again, but somehow its even worse.

At least the Golden Eagle introduced AESA radars to the tech tree, while still lacking the extra pylons (on day one).

The next F-16C will introduce… another missile which will be far more useful on the F/A-18E.

so nctr is completely useless in sim for most of them

Gotta love it

and at least it got some extra missiles to make it worth using over the e
