Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

i used to call it Gripen NG and the ones that recently entered Swedish service as the real Gripen E

To be entirely fair you also get even worse flight performance but what’s flight performance right?

6002 isn’t the NG, so that’s incorrect NG is the Gripen D model that would be the basis for MS21

So, that makes me a non-entity then? The J22s are wonderfully enjoyable; and even at 5.3 the prop-engined J21s are still pretty killer (yes, I’ve been playing them from way back when they were still 3.7).

J9 being ‘A worse Fokker’? Boy, it’s obvious you’ve never flown it.

it’s what gaijin would almost certainly call it when they add it as a seperate vehicle with meteor and IRIS-T

I’m referring to the fact that it has the 13.2mm guns at 2.3 but whatever

And it shouldn’t be called the Late it should get an accurate name.

Hell gaijin is so lazy they couldn’t bother to get any Gripen even half right but go figure they don’t care about the nation that made it anyways

Who needs flight performance when you can just fly straight? :D

Although the Swedish Air Tech tree is a very small tree, it still has several fun planes to play. More variety is always welcome, and passed suggestions for such planes are widely available:

I personally really liked the Fokkers of Finland and the T18B/B18B heavy attackers (bombers in WT). J22 I haven’t flown yet, so can’t say on that part.

Belgian?

300 rounds per gun is the correct amount (4x300 = 1.200 rounds).

Btw, the finnish D.XXI-3 carries more rounds…:

not the same plane we literally talked about this, the 2.3 one that looks like a J21 with the 13.2 we even talked about it getting it’s ammo doubled and it was a better J9

Seriously are we gonna ignore what I was actually talking about? Thought you would’ve remembered but that’s on me, I forgot the name for it.

@Smin1080p_WT will the base F-16C get GBU-53? also will the F-15E get them?

will the multimode seeker be modeled?

Also the TT could literally be cut in half, let’s folder all these aircraft since these are just strike jet models of their fighter counterpart

Could count the AJ series also but it’s semantics

Looking back on what Gaijin did with the ammo counts, appearantly they are correct, it just depends on what version of the prototype you choose. The one that I referred to was the later one, but early fits of the guns had larger magazines. So technically possible, but not fully wrong.

I still agree that’s it’s absolutely not 2.3 material and should go up in BR.

Yeah, let’s remove all those planes so players playing Sweden in Arcade with a five-plane line-up have no other choice than to make a line-up spanning BR-differences of 2.0 just to make a line-up.

You can always see the posts by those solely focussed on RB who seem to forget other modes exist.

They should just add more Scandinavian or Nordic planes in all honesty. It will introduce more imported airframes (C&P or variants), but it will help lineups a ton (for Arcade and Sim especially, also for naval and Ground). Then they can folder more vehicles. (otherwise the grind difference between top tier Sweden and top tier USA/Israel would be too large).

Both Israel and Sweden badly need an extention to their Air Trees.

Who cares just make Sweden a even worse air nation oh God it changed… nothing wow

But I also refuse to accept that Sweden was even slightly given any form of thought when being put together when gaijin refuses to treat it like every other air nation…
Everyone else gets foldered aircraft except them for literally the smallest changes

Gotta keep the grind longer somehow

If I could rebalance Sweden 90% would be foldered. The hornets not getting folded. The Viggens, the Tunnans, literally 90% of the tree is artificially bloated so gaijin can say they don’t have gaps so they can continue ignoring it for another decade.

It’s the nation with the least amount of RP needed to get all aircraft

Israel barely beats it out
