Thats the problem the Gripen E is the wrong way to go about it. Adding the earlier protypes without Arexis give it a weight reduction and allow gaijin to add the extended wing design. Production model Gripen E should be here when EW is ready. Again that gives sweden one unique Gripen that allows for a lower BR. Sweden air is desperately lacking in unique vehicles. Especially when gaijin will likely give everyone else the Gripen E. Best way would be to add the earlier model Gripen E first which also allows Sweden to have a 14.3 aircraft before next gen missiles.
I agree that it’s time for Gaijin to plan the ECM; at least for me, there’s a good chance we’ll see an F-22A and some prototype of the Su-57 next year before December. ECM would greatly help aircraft like the Su-35 Gripen and Typhoon against 5Gen fighters.
Maybe a rework of TGP pods also? Like adding multitracking for the ones capable of it and making them not rely on the aircraft for it’s stats so we can finally get multiple options instead of being stuck with just one. Or even adding the air-to-air modes again for the ones capable of it which would make them into discount IRST.
Yeah, that would be good too.
Maybe also things Ground mapping radar / SARs as well
Like LItening 5 used by the Typhoon and Gripen have built in SARs
Yeah that would be interesting
More likely we’ll see some sort of low BR aircraft get ECM in some sort of event/test
I’m going to buy 10k GE i not grind 420 or 500k no, i don’t have time to this
I agree
With a 1,500,000 SL cost and 500,000 SL crew training cost ontop of it.
Unfortunately theres too many people who have no idea what sweden needs and screech they need Gripen E or that Gripen E is too OP and would be better than EFT/Rafale as if its not being added 12 months too late lmao.
Again the E should only be here when the game is ready for it, we dont need a gimped vehicle that gaijin will give to everynation who doesn’t need another 14.3 we need gaijin to fix the Swedish air tree in general but thats a whole other argument.
Chump change, just seal club noobs with low BR prem lineups like 4.3 Germany, 6.3 Russia, or the GOAT 4.0 Italy.
It needs to be added now; if delayed, it will become obsolete because it will be close to the 5th generation, something that wouldn’t happen with the Su-35 since it has some tricks up its sleeve.
Being added late and swedish what a combo almost like thats happened 3 separate times. Honestly sweden has had the most time since it was added without having an end of the line aircraft that matched everyone else. Id rather have gaijin add stuff to make the tree unique before giving all their vehicles to every other nation which didn’t need them. Its like the US/Italian players screeching over who gets the Brazilian Gripen E.
Its inevitable it will come to others but for now id rather see unique models get added that will extened the amount of BR’s for Sweden.
The Brazilian Gripen makes absolutely no sense in the US; it could go to Italy, Sweden, or even a South American tree.

In all honesty, we would be lucky to get half of that by the end of 2026 IMO.
Blame the US mains who posted it. Im for a LATM tree personally as it has no right to be on Italy imo.
Peak US main argument, to be honest, US players is the worst when it comes to game balancing or other things. Brazil and Sweden have had many partnerships in the defense sector; in my opinion, the Brazilian Gripen could be in either Sweden or a South American tree.
And much of it I dont expect to see for a while. Its just a guess of what could be included in the CM comment.
Some of it I think its more than likely, others probably not. We’ll see. We know at least ARMs are coming early next year.
If there is no chance for a LATM tree i think a lower BR F-39 would be best as they use Spice 250’s and in general have a different loadout compared to the Swedish Gripen E. It would add a completely different playstyle given its equipment but thats only IF gaijin doesn’t add a LATM which imo is the only reason it should be added to sweden is if there are no plans for it.

I think the teaser for the December update will be on Wednesday or tomorrow.
I have come to this conclusion after looking at the stats
Usually they fall on a thursday and then the Dev stream is the following day on a Friday.
Someone like @Deathmisser will have to confirm but I think the Teasers have always been on a Thursday
