No it wouldn’t kill team mates and it works against stationary targets
didnt the F-2, still have better armament options for missles?
Gripen E wouldnt change all to much, besides a few more hard points and radar as well.
What we need next is new gen IR and fox 3 missles , for it to realy change again
How would it it differentiate the same tanks on different nations. Like say if Italy and Germany are both playing against each other
You ripple fire and you kill everyone
no not really only thing that it could get is the AAM-5
IRIS-T and Meteor
As I said, they could upgrade existing aircraft, like the F-2, but it would be partially carried by those missiles. I can still see the potential for them to add the Gripen E in this case.
But we’ll have to wait and see
F16 and gripen c already can get those. At least the iris t for 16 and grippen c, and meteor for c only
air to ground radar in war thunder only works for moving targets as it does IRL. On the brimstone data sheet it clearly says that its only capeble of hitting stationary targets with SAL
gripen E doesnt mean we get the new missles

It is, or at least that’s what was said when it was asked about, last I’d seen.
Well then the gripen e is pointless
Mode 2 allows the target to be selected prior to launch.
And that is largely a game only issue, combined with the very very small map sizes. It would be trivial for Gaijin to simply give it a form of IFF to mitigate this issue
There isn’t a limit currently, however the second one was only just added.

How is it pointless with better thrust to weight, 3 more missiles and the best radar in game till prolly the irbis, and so much more ground ordinance and maws and stuff
it does get more hardpoint i think,
You get to take air to air missles and a2g at the same time i think.
for GRB it would be good
For ARB, yeah doesnt matter

AASMs are fire and forget.
As for Brimstone, this has been answered many times before why MMW wont be introduced currently: [Development] Tornado GR.4: Tenacious Tonka - News - War Thunder
Brimstones do not use IR guidance, but MMW with LOAL.
Yeah, because the airframe, being rated for 7.5Gs, can handle up to 11.25. That’s the 1.5x thing there, that doesn’t mean the AIRFRAME is rated for those Gs. You can’t then take that 10-11Gs and put the 1.5 on there, that’s double dipping.
As for the blackout thing, maybe? I’m less familiar with how exactly that is coded.
for ARB it would get 9 missiles which would be a huge upgrade, but the gripens main weapons is the meteor and IRIS-t so it doesnt make sense to give it aim-120
tell that the eurofighter that has to play against the busted rafale with micas as well
The answer was generally referring to nations that don’t yet have an AESA armed aircraft and filling those. Japan currently does with the F-2.
In the future, other vehicles may indeed appear if a nation operates those. But once again, a sub tree does not mean everything ever possible may come.

well yes, but the rafale with meteor and mica NG/ mica ir would be just as broken
