Early and late being related to weapons, if they have the MS20 now, then when they add the Meteor and IRIS-T they either need to update the current Gripen C creating a huge gap, add a second C for those missiles or an E. The C would be a Late vs the current Early
There is already a backlog on radar fixes, maybe the Gripen’s will be changed but they haven’t even got the new radars finished yet, so without the new radar it would have to be the MS17, that’s the free fix that doesn’t require resources not yet available
And sure, they should have added the Gripen A earlier, just like they should have added so many aircraft earlier than they did as everyone so keenly points out, now you can make an argument that they should slow down their additions, but you can’t say it should have come 2 updates prior unless you know why it came when it did, which you don’t
Again, more subtrees would be nice for Sweden but that is a separate issue to the Gripen
If Gaijin could fix every issue with the game overnight, I’m sure they would, but they can’t so they prioritize and right now the Gripen isn’t wrong enough to be an issue, it seems fair to say it’s currently an MS17 with GBU-39s, which is wrong, but the only quick fix is removing the GBU-39s and I don’t see many people being happy with that change, so it stays, maybe they accept your bug report and it goes into the backlog of several thousand bugs and issues that they need to work on, and maybe when they get the time they’ll give the Gripen it’s better radar and all will be fixed. The Tree ends at the Gripen E regardless, like I said you might as well have a competitive aircraft while it’s still possible, because as soon as 5th gens come, that ticket will be gone with the wind and Sweden will never have its own top tier, it’ll be down to subtrees from there

Why can’t the event come a week later…
Any predictions on market price?
No idea, seems fairly popular maybe in the 40 range?

This is a new argument to r&r.
Don’t fully get blaming players for what are the devs decisions though.
Well it’s kinda rare, but won’t be game breaking at the BR.
Most likely be cheap at first like most other vehicles. But i think a fair few will want to keep it this time around.
When you do the bug reports and see how many people get so much wrong info somehow passed to the devs it will make your head spin. I blame players for not bothering to spend 10 minutes looking up what vehicle they actually have instead of assuming they have a gripen E when they have a MS19 gripen C.
Its not hard to find that in 2022 they have yet to upgrade to MS20 and have financial problems. Where as every other gripen user has moved on to MS20, not to mention SAAF still has the same number of gripens they purchased in 2006. So where the SAAF players get the idea that their aircraft should have MS20 uogrades is from incompetence
What are the reports where this happened?
Check the community bug reports, or just look at the vehicle in game to see how fictional it is. I dont have time to keep every wrong bug report tabbed.
You’re gonna need to be reading into the post, since most reports just mention C model or gripen instead of the MS
This is one of the reports to get gaijin to label the gripens by their MS

I mean is it worth it at this point ?
Depends on what the vehicles are, if they have crates like they did with tanks this time around i might do it if its for aircraft, im hoping for something russian but i enjoy all planes so i dont mind. Got the I-301 from the SL crates recently and ive wanted that for a while.
I’ve got Ka-Chi in the current one. Really wanted that too.

I just realized, they messed the vehicle event schedule up again, we should have had a ship instead of a tank
Also, while I do welcome the Shir 2, not having a vehicle thats named after a snake seems to be a bit of a missed opportunity
For bug reports second hand sources so long as you have atleast 2 are fine.
Yeah, though the snail can be picky about first hand sources as it means rebalancing. So they just mark accepted and then never fix it lol.
