I can see that.
The XS is far from bad.
For now, we’ll need to see the new FM
it cant even properly do Kort Parad / Cobra anymore
Like ive said sweden air is the most useless air nation with no variety. Its basically cbt until the gripen. A handfull are decent but not worth the grind when you can just get the italian or british gripen.
Mega sad
Its on the dev server, its pretty atrocious if you havent seen it.
the plane that invented the maneauver cant do it. wtf is this.

What makes it worse is that they used the Cobra practically as well not just a fancy show manuver
It pulls about half what it used to and loses more speed on turns. Without a better engine it essentially dies after 1 turn

I recommend flying it though cause if you think it should fight F5’s thats a bit wack. If the engine was more like a starfighter then i could accept the BnZ style but it cant do that.

wich is also kinda ironic cause according to pilots the Draken could accelerate untill it ran out of fuel. it dosnt have a set max speed.

I honestly dont even believe the new FM is entirely accurate to begin with but it could be cope
nah i agree. it turns to slowly. it rolls to sluggishly. and it cant even do the maneauver its famous for inventing. gaijin added it. let people have its fun with it, then nerfed the shit out of it.

And I feel even worse for the poor Viggen
Viggen hasnt been a meta aircraft since introduction. We got shafted with the Ja37D while everyone else got a f16 equivalent. Then we finally get the gripen and gaijin tries to shaft us again like the Ja37A. I remember they were like yeah no countermeasures at 11.0 will be so fun for that. Honestly the air tree the opposite of the ground tree which sucks as an air main. Doesnt matter though, ill be busy spading the rest of japan air while things get changed or fixed.

I understand why the Gripen keeps getting nerfed but when its equivalents get added I hope it gets rebuffed tbh , and MAYBE we can get close to the unlocked G 120 degree instant AOA
I think that’s by design. They have no IFF or anything so have to be careful when firing them in a location with friendlies.
Oh god… I cant wait to get t’ked by the F4S players who got to top tier in a week :)
