Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

I’m more interested in reports by players that give the gripens fictional abilities

Easiest is going to be the SAAF gripen carrying GBU-39, or any gripen with the PS0/5A radar, aside from the Gripen A, or the 5th bomb pylon missing. If you know what each nations gripen irl upgraded too you can see that nearly all of them are fake. We have MS20 gbu-39 upgraded C’s with PS0/5A MK.I radars instead of the MK.IV, we have a SAAF gripen that never bought MS20 have access to technology it shouldn’t be able to use. Im not gonna go find every single broken post. If it matters that match it should be easily apparent. The fact gaijin doesn’t care enough to add MS to distinguish them shows they have no interest in accuracy.

Don’t bother pinging me unless you are willing to do the research yourself, no offense but i don’t really feel that i need to go find you examples when I’ve given you the most basic examples multiple times. If its that important you’ll see them.

The Super 530D is worse than the AIM-7M, even though IRL it’s better

Also doesn’t the Gripen A get skytrashes?

Already mentioned to him

Real question is who is taking Skyflash when it removes your BOL pods, considering how gimped BOL is you need them for all the 14.0 uptiers, not that you’re gonna missile joust anyone with 6km range and slow SARH missiles.

I bring two for full downtiers, uptiers are a death sentence unless the map plays to you getting close.

I would personally just use them for the stock grind, than again I’ve never stock grinded or even played the Gripen A so I’m kinda taking this out of thin air.

You’ll lose nearly any missile fight since you dint have the range or speed, its why i think the gripen is the weakest if the 13.0 original meta jets, imo F15 makes up for it with having overall better missiles and speed.

And if you get 14.0 uptiers good luck closing the distance on most maps, you’re essentially forced to notch for 50% of the match

Yeah the Gripen is severely limited in quite a few ways, some jets are unfortunately like that though. The Meta favors them until the new shiny thing comes along and they don’t have anything else to show for it. Whenever I take the M4K out I see a lot more of the premium viggens than the Gripen, I would go as far to say I have seen more of the TT 13.0 Viggens than the Gripens.

Im suprised anybody actually grinds for the swedish air tree, like i realistically would never recommend it in a million years, and a f18 isnt gonna fix the dumpster fire that it is. Thats if they dont sell it to us first.

Came back to play the SU-27 and the F15A recently and wow i forgot how good the SU-27 was, honestly a shame the Su-33 is a squadron vehicle. Though imo if its similar to the 27 then imo its one of the best 13.0 jets, if you haven’t played them i definitely recommend.

On the way to the J-11 right now actually!

I’m too broke to buy a crew for the F-15J so got to grind a little more

You haven’t proved that players are at fault, I can’t see how it’s not the usual devs incorrectly modelling a vehicle in the gripens implementation

They should really add laser SDB to US aircraft, imagine LJDAM but GBU-39

Forgeting Frances SARHM 530 is worse than an Aim7F

Yep it’s stupidly underiered, more misiles than god and an insane airframe it’s a massive compression issue. Facing one in a Tornado F.3 or FGR-2 is laughable.

But hey it has no fox 3 missile so in Russian eyes that makes it unplayable.

Nice

Wait… So you’re telling me a flanker with 6 of the best SARH, and 4 of the second best IR missiles at 13.0 isn’t balanced?! Well color me shocked.

(I’ve been saying this since they started putting Aim-120s and R-27ERs against the Navy Phantoms)

Honestly…it could go to 13.3 and id be fine with it, R27ER is Honestly better than R77 in my experience just for speed and distance. Imo it is my favorite missile (aside from MICA, and SRAAM when it works lmao)

Will Britain Tree receive strong and competitive India vehicle and planes?Such as Rafale, Mirage 2000, Su-30MKI, T-90MS, even BMP-2 and T-72M1?

That will extremely enforce the current line-up

They are extremely fun, even J11A can be quite nice RN with R27ET shooting F15s out of the sky without knowing from 20km out. The thing is with J11 u have to stock grind with R27Rs which are absolute pain.

Just average player who plays top tier, I have 250k and I am 40k RP away from Mirage already, I still have to buy T80UK and VT4. This economy system is so *****
