is the SLAM-ER even in game?

No but it should be, it’s wayyy overdue and gaijin can try not being lazy. Russia gets make-believe munitions (KH-38MT) from 2050 while NATO is stuck with 80’s/90’s munitions

please reduce the BR of Lvrbr 701 to 9.0/8.7. it should not be at 9.7. I made a post on it here Lvrbr 701 needs a lower BR

Do you have the MTTD? I think that allows you to research and purchase the Ajax. I only had the F-16A blk15 researched and purchased before they foldered it with the blk10, but I could still research and purchase the F-16C afterwards (In fact I still haven’t purchased the blk10)

oh is that how it works?? I could have swore you need the main tank or at least you used to, like you can see the line is red so I assumed it meant I cant buy it

Hey @Smin1080p_WT Sweden and Israel do not currently possess aircraft equipped with AESA. Are there any plans regarding these?

F-15SG and Grippy E I believe

russian and english dev streams confirmed that the gripen e is 100% coming this patch. its just a matter of days until the dev server gets updated and a new meta begins

Oh… what does Gripen E bring, i was under the impression it was kind of like a AESA EFT but with 7 Aim-120 instead of 6.

better cas for sure. not quite powerful but still a good upgrade over the f18 in the sweden tree

@Smin1080p_WT

Can we please, please get a solid answer as to whether the VT-4 is coming to the Thailand subtree or not? It’s a matter of principle at this point, regardless of vehicle performance.

Most Chinese players are not opposed to its addition….

A heavier Gripen C with 7 Fox 3 hardpoints and worse agility. F-15E counterpart mobility wise, basically worse than the current EFT but now at the same BR as the better EFT

its all public, not stalking.

Does the new engine not offset the weight?
From calculating it does provide a higher base TWR of 1.25 compared to 1.207, based on Wiki stats tho, channel losses will change these stats drastically as they’re different engines, empty weight in game might also differ, and fuel consumption of each respective engine will play a part.
While far from TWR like EF or Rafale it does also get AMK compared to Gripen C so it should just be better in that regard unless i missed something.

So if Gaijin doesn’t murder the engine it might actually be pretty good.

I don’t think Brimstones would count as better cas lmao, it already has GBU-39 and AGM-65.

Technically speaking Israel does have the Kfir C.10 Block 60, but it lacks a top tier AESA equipped aircraft.

Still, even if all that is modeled, it is a strictly worse EF in every metric.
Worse accel/TWR.
Worse agility.
Same weapons but less of them.
Worse-ish radar.
99.99% of being 14.3

Better than nothing I guess.

Yeah, it does kind of suck when you put it like that, i imagine even if there’s decompression the Gripen E won’t be lower BR than Rafale or AESA EFT.

In GRB it has better cas, so it has that going for it…
