Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

It would give them a 14.0 as they don’t have one nor can they really get a domestic option unless they add later missiles to the F-2 or F-15 but thats a unlikely option

Thats actually not a bad option. Though i am still partial to the F-15SG and Su-30MKM since they stand to tilt a specific part of the playerbase and also are just generally good jets overall.

(Clearly the solution is to add all 3)

((yes I want to watch the world burn))

I doubt they’d go and add later missiles for these but not for others, which would put them in the same spot as now comparatively, if not a worse one.

AAM-4 is about as good as it gets for BVR, AAM-4B only changes the AESA seeker that in game isn’t modeled anyways for missiles like the SAM-1C ARH. Fixes could help, but it’s not the only missile that can get fixes.
The F-15J(M) could get AMRAAM (C-5/7/8, D-3) but a after the response to the reports for the missing C-5 it seems we won’t see any AMRAAMs before the F-35

AAM-3 could get fixes, but again it’ll probably be alongside fixes for other missiles and equivalents like Python 4 (that’s generally a bit better). AAM-5 won’t be added without ASRAAM, IRIS-T, PL-10 and so on either.

That’s why I said It’s an unlikely option

Not all Gripen E’s have the IRIS-T, some have been seen without. Its a weird trait like the rear wing design being changed between the NG and E then the E being seen with the NG’s wing design.

What is the difference between Gripen NG and E? I thought the NG was the prototype

Next update better have a 14.0 aircraft for China… there’s literally 6 perfect options yet we have 0

Solution: J11B to 14.0 !!!

J-11BG to 14.0 same thing but with an AESA and a bit more thrust ez copy paste for Gaijin

J-10B/C should really have come last update

Wing designs was changed but considering we’ve seen both NG’s and E’s with the changed wing and without IRST sensor. Its now just the NG never had Araxis EWS. The NG could be added rn and leave the Gripen E as a vehicle for when gaijin has EW as a finished and ready to ship new feature.

Thats the main difference outside of that they are nearly identical. So the NG is slightly less heavy because of it lacking the EWS

The B would pretty much be a sidegrade/downgrade from the A, its much heavier with a insignificant increase to thrust and it’s slower.

The C is mostly in the same boat but a larger increase in thrust and theoretically 2 more ARH pylons, a slight upgrade

Id love the C tho it’s my favorite single engine fighter

Yeah, the B would’ve honestly been the perfect F-2 equivalent. Sadly just like the F-2 it’s too late and now wasn’t even added when the F-2 was.

Now it’s already at the point where it needs to be skipped for the next variant…

Thats how its been with aircraft, by the time the Gripen gets here EW wont be ready and it alongside the J10’s and the F2 couldve been added when the EFT/Rafale were added. Gaijin loves to power creep though unfortunately. I mean J11B is evident of that

The J-10S is really nice too

We probably don’t need a heavier J-10A now necessarily, but if they added it as a new premium alongside a techtree J-10C I’d buy it

Wouldn’t be a bad option, the later J-10S’s have been retrofitted with air cooled AESA’s and WS-10B engines aswell

Why is Sweden always against Soviet amour it’s like a curse

What BR are you at?

Its most common from 1.0-5.7, and 7.7-12.0 in my experience, been a while but realy only 7.0 and 6.7 did i rarely see them on the enemy team, besides Sweden plays with Germany 90% of the time which means you fight Russia a lot.

3.7 mostly as I’m using that for kills

Yeah thats just 4.7 Yak 9k spam the BR. Enjoy the uptiers cause its the most common thing playing 3.7, personally id recommend 5.0 but the Yak 9K spam is pretty much unending until about 8.0

Also lack of a single good SPAA on sweden kills my want to play them lol.

They need a solid 3.x spaa and 4.x imo
