Gripen E will be made irrelevant next update lmao
It certainly won’t be the best 14.3 but it’s better than nothing.
Hopefully not, I’m really looking forward to it
Honestly id rather the NG so we dont get a gimped gripen E so yeah it would be worse than nothing

Id hope so but I’ve got a feeling they’re saving these for next gen IR missiles
I would laugh but I doubt we are gonna get a 2020+ modification of the EFT and if we do I can see only germany getting it as the UK and Italy are going for the more advanced Mk2 radars
They should’ve saved the most recent Rafale variant for those too but they didn’t. I think it’s fine for other late 4.5’s to be added now since they added arguably the best one a year ago already without bothering with introducing peers.
That is hideous wth
Both anti drone ahead and normal ahead are planned for 2027.

Gripen E makes the most sense for next gen missiles and the NG would give a 14.3 jet to bridge the gap for the terrible gap sweden has rn

sorry I think you mean E Early and E late lol
AJ168 ARM on the Jag and thats it. 100% fair vs AGM-88 on the F-111
ALARM would be too OP
No that would be NG as the NG has a C model and eqrly E model then models with and without changed wings, and models with and without IRST sensor. Gaijin would more than likely give sweden the worst model and give everyone else the actual E lol. Wouldn’t be the first time they tried doing that on sweden and wont be the last

I still don’t see the “advancement” of the Mk2 (except for software maybe). Hardware-wise the Mk2 mixes GaN with GaAs transmitters instead of being full GaN like the Mk1. The only advantage of GaAs is the price, otherwise it’s inferior to GaN in every metric AFAIK. (And development-wise it’s closer to the ES-05 than to the other Captors)
RAHHHH remove early/late designations
Mk0 and Mk2 also have a greater gimball range than the Mk1. 90 vs 100 degrees
I’d also like to note that there’s always a possibility they introduce next-gen missiles in December alongside new platforms. They want to give every nation at least one top tier MAW equipped jet before adding IIR and this can easily be achieved in the same update. As for later gen ARH missiles I am not sure but if their seekers are kept the same they could just be added right now since range is not really a relevant metric against players that pay attention, MICA would still reign supreme.
given how this helicopter looks i would rather not have any FNF missiles for the uk as brimstones are of the table

Mk2 can simultaneously jam and search/track, the earlier ones can’t.
