@Smin1080p_WT do the devs have plans to give the AJ37 it’s RBS 15 or no? If not what’s the reasoning?

What I wouldn’t give for an armored car focused update
Call it highway hell or some such and give every nation some of their missing wheeled vehicles
USA: Cadillacs Gage commandos and Styker variants, maybe M8 as well
Russia: BTRs, BA-series, BDRM
Germany: Boxer variants, Fuchs, any potential missing pumas
Britain: Saladin, Humber, Fox variants
Italy: Centauro variants and maybe some Spanish Pegasos
Japan: CCV, Type 16 phase II, Thai Sea Tiger
France: ERC, AML, RPX-90, AMX-10rc, and Vextra variants
Sweden: Patria and landsverk designs
China: VN series
Israel: Eitan variants and converted half tracks

Intended to be. Cant find any info that it ever was. nor can i find any info on the mk2 or mk3 ever being made in to airborne variants. maybe upgrades followed?
saab doesnt market the mk3 as air launchable nor can i find any info pre mk4 from their site talking about it as air launchable.
maybe the rbs 15f got upgrades integrating the tech? but i cant find anything beyond what you sent.
WAIT, scratch all that. i think i found something for a mk3 variant. found info on the ER. idk if the mk2 ever got an air variant but it does seem that the mk3 did get one and the er didnt just morph in to the mk4
That said. in game variant matches the stats (other than warhead explosive mass. still iffy on that.) of the mk1
So over two updates Britain has gotten,
Welkin
B-29
Hawk T1A
Hawk T1A (FRP) (Pack)
CA-27 Mk.32 (Australia)
Wildcat
Arjun Mk 1 (India)
M1A1 (Australia)
M1A2 (Australia)
Scimitar Mk.2 (Event)
Boats eh
So over all not bad for this half of the year, going to be interesting to see what the last two updates bring for Britain

Theyre adding the Hawk T Mk1A that should’ve been the first hawk introduced not the hawk 200. Ive genuinely waited so long for this.
they already did?
nvm forgot the S
RBS-15F currently is likely just the MK.1 I don’t have info for a air launched MK.II
As for RBS-15F-ER it’s likely that has been pushed into the MK.3+ or RBS-4 range as SAAB quotes this for what vehicles it can be mounted to
More than likely Gungnir/MK.IV is under the name RBS-15F-ER now, it’s not strange for Sweden to use old names for new equipment, see RB74 after receiving new IRCCM seeker, at least looked into, I don’t have the full doc

@Smin1080p_WT Just had a thought, could it be possible to add the Indian Hawk Mk.132 in the near future as perhaps a squadron vehicle ?

chasing back to pre 2004 (year mk3 entered production) saab site to see if they have anything on upgrades to the rbs-15f xD
This description of the MK.3 reads more like the MK.IV
should’ve added Mk4 on JAS39E

It’s gaijins choice, I don’t choose, because they also left out the AJ37 so if they want to deliberately not buff Sweden air that’s their choice unfortunately

Also it’s very unlikely the RBS-15F would be the missile of choice for the Gripen E.
Gungnir was displayed alongside the NG, it seems pretty obvious especially with swedens procurement of them that the RBS was the future for the missiles on Next Gen Gripens, not old MK.1s

They still gotta make it so that the ajs radar can actually use the missiles or give them their LOAL. since the aj/ajs radar has the same stats as the later JA air to air radar in game atm. gripen also needs to get its sea radar mode
Hopefully they give the AJ37 and A32 the rb04 sometime in the future
That’s gonna require gaijin to put the tiniest amount of effort into vehicles they don’t like, besides the devs already admitted they have no plans to fix the Viggen being over 1000kg over weight which is why a Draken can (even in a nerfed state) outperform them which wasn’t what happened irl
Additionally RB04 and older missiles are not planned as stated by Smin, so while vehicles like the A4E and such get a purpose in NE, the lansens don’t.

It does feel odd that the rbs 15F wouldnt have gotten upgrades tho. but the mk2 and mk3 did come out when “cold war is over war no more yippee lets completely shoot ourselves in the foot”
but why
They are too awesome for gaijins mind… or they just think its too op for Sweden to get ASM as the first nation to have true radar guided ASMs in real world history or something
Ask Smin, likely gaijins wants to finish new generation stuff up as older stuff isn’t as popular.
We don’t have RB72 either or 9N-2 but other nations get their niche missiles
