Hard when one of your largest financiers is involved in said conflict.
SAAB themselves have called all 4 of the testbeds/prototypes gripen NG though. NG isn’t a specific plane designation, it’s the collective name for the overall project and development. The 39-7 was originally designated “Gripen Demo” (https://web.archive.org/web/20131103090927/http://www.saabgroup.com/en/about-saab/newsroom/press-releases--news/2008---5/saabs-maiden-flight-with-gripen-demo/) before the project got renamed to NG. The NG is the same as saying “Technology demonstrator” which the 39-8 through 10 also are.
Ok I concede.

The thing is, I don’t see any reason not to go for a F-15I with an AN/APG-82(V)1 radar at this point.
Historical accuracy clearly has become a very minor factor when it comes to new additions and variant hybrids aren’t anything new either, so just slapping the AN/APG-82(V)1 on an F-15I would be a quick and easy solution that wouldn’t require a subtree.
I’m saying it again;
Turkey major, with Greece subtree, Cyprus (both flavours) Premiums, and a growth option for Bulgaria.
Byzantine TT
Not entirely the JA37D was the swedish service Viggen with aim 120. In game its artificially limited to give them a 12.0 vehicle. The JA37Di was the export model i standing for international but Gaijin was too lazy to change the cockpit to english.
The F21 is just a sqaudron specific camo for a JA37D just called a Di as again Di was for export.
F21 isn’t something crazy its just another way to add a copy but with its model made to represent a specific squadron like if we got a premium F-35 WDNS we could get one with the 6-1 dynamite camo
Exactly.
Nothing stopping them from adding a Kfir C10 [Insert appropriate squardron here]
In what world?
Gripen E: >5000 kg weapon load
Typhoon: >9000 kg weapon load

Typhooon can have a maximum of 2+6 fox-3 weapons fit, whilst the Gripen E can have 2+7.
Might not have been the best use of terms. But technically The Gripen E can run more Fox-3s
export?
The “(vehicle name) [squadron number/pilot name]” vehicles always are premiums, so that solution wouldn’t work
We were talking about weight because you said “‘heavier’ weapons load”.
If push comes to shove. I doubt that would actually stop them.
Or they can make the event one into said version
7 AMRAAMs do technically weight more than 6.
But it was the wrong terminology to use
Yes iirc its just a change of cockpit to bring it to a international level from renaming all the swedish instruments to english for ease of use as most vehicles use english for export. Even the Swedish service Gripen C’s use english
Yeah, but you can load additionally four 1000 lb bombs (or 2x 1000 lb + 2x 2000 lb) or twelve Brimstones on the Typhoon without sacrificing AA weapon load.
Looking at this purely from an A2A PoV.
I know Gaijin think GBUs are OP in A2A combat, but the rest of us know it isnt.
If we talk about “weapon load” in general, every armament counts :)
Didn’t know the discussion was limited to A2A.
