Seeing all these bug report really makes me think I should prepare ahead of time for the Polish tech tree 🤔

I mean J35J and XS are the same model the argument of different variant was already silly.
If anything you also have the R35E which has them in swedish service or J35F1 and F2 with CMs

The F-5C retains technical compatibility with the earlier A. Should this be proven for the J35J, then it can be considered.
The temperature of the discussion did. Its possible to disagree with something and voice an opinion without getting aggressive. We dont need to throw civility out the window to make a point heard.
Smin where did you or the devs get the idea that it it wouldn’t be compatible? The XS started out as a F model and became a J model, no reason another J model couldn’t mount those CMs, especially when other swedish recon models got them.
It’s not trying to sound rude but I don’t know where you are assuming they aren’t compatible

Same BR as the XS with the same missile

We are providing the answers from the developers. If you have information to suggest the J is compatible, please feel free to make a report and we can pass it for review providing there is sufficient information.
the AN/ALE-40 was made in 1974 (flare capable version later in 1978)
the F-5A entered service in 1964 and the F-5C left service in 1966

Entry to service is not a requirement. Its the technical compatibility of the airframe.

A35XD, J35F for Austria, all the D and up models can receive countermeasures, our Drakens were F models and received them with the main initial differences being pylons and internal fuel.
Austrian Drakens use the same CM system as the XS even though they started as D models
Now I could get not giving the J35J the S35E CM pod as it’s different but the J could receive the same CM pods as all the other F models that also received them, the XS also happened to get the upgrade to the J model and have the CM dispenser.
Austria used the same CM pod as Finland on their F model
I mean if the base models can be upgraded to the J while still retaining the Boy 402CM dispensers why can’t the J have it on Sweden even though it’s not a unique attribute of the XS when we have it

@Smin1080p_WT May I ask if the Devs realise the model we have in WT (Currently) is a H145M LUH SOF (Light Utility Helicopter Special Operations Forces) and not a H145M LKH (Light Attack Helicopter)?

Weaponry is still subject to balancing decisions even if it is technically compatible. So its naturally not going to receive AIM-9L even if it was due to its BR.
Regarding Penguin, you would need to provide evidence to make a report for that. As it was a spesific Norwegian upgrade and not something universal like the flares possible on the F-5A family.
At this point however, we are now wildly off track yet again.

We should let smin sleep now
The forwarded report is under investigation.

Could you at least bring it to the devs attention that people want CMs on the J35J
I mean we could count our prototype F model with Countermeasures as it flew under SAAB.
We have multiple Drakens with older models than the J using BOY 402 which if service year isn’t a problem then the J should get it
Austria had the D model and they got BOY 402
We had the F and got BOY 402 and more
Finland has a J model with BOY 402

breadpoint for all other mods but for Smin we gotta bring the heavy artillery…
we got to hold him at EAPoint
This has been raised already and the answer has already been provided. As I have explained, if you would like to see them and have evidence to support them being compatible, please submit a proper report: Community Bug Reporting System
Currently the evidence available to the devs suggests they are not, hence why they have not been added to the J35J.
Im sorry to say that coming at me over and over is not going to change that.
And yet it doesnt mention the H145M LUH SOF ≠ H145M LKH :(
Additionally I’ll add that the tailhook mod is compatible with all Drakens, it’s an upgrade choice as all Drakens never changed the rear.
We are the only ones that used them and the mount for the tail hook CM rail.
Technical feasibility is all there as it was an option for all Drakens.
