Ok guys. Im not going to keep repeating the same things over and over, so I will add a final note here.
If you believe something is incorrect with an aircraft in game on the dev server, please make a report with your evidence here: Community Bug Reporting System
I cannot stress enough, tagging me over and over when I have already provided the answer several times is not going to change the outcome im afraid.
Then I have one last question, are unpurchased but compatible parts allowed to be pushed for a report?
The tail hook mountings for our Drakens were originally made for the Flygvapnet who chose to not install them.
Would that be good enough for the devs to look at it?
If its applicable to the J specifically, then feel free to report it. If its not, then it wont be accepted.
Well, the J variant just seems obviously like an upgraded F variant. And the XS is also an upgraded F. It’s so obvious that it’s possible to add the flares. The devs say it’s not possible, but you, Smin, as part of the community, do you think it should get them, as a subjective opinion?
It’s for all Drakens as they have the same mounts on the tail, the Flygvapnet doesn’t use tailhooks for landing so it was seen as unnecessary.
These mounts also include the CM dispensers we have.
I’ll look at getting stuff together for it, I figure the devs will want more than 1 primary source
Unlikely the RWR would be a refit of the entire aircraft

guys dont you see the issue isnt that you arent penning 30 mm effective with a 58mm pen warhead, the issue is easily explained by the lmur having 6 mm more pen
I have found a funny thing with the rb 15Fs there is a short period of time where they are armed but still corporeal to the plane (once they are in full flight your own plane just phases through them) and if you go slow enough so the missiles stay next to your plane and roll just as that tiny window happens, and hit one with your plane… you blow yourself up.
i have managed to do it exactly twice. once by accident and once trying to recreate. the window is so small (and seemingly random if it happens or not) that its near impossible
from what i understand, this technical compatibility rule means that variant A (F-5C) can get anything from variant B (F-5A) as long as B was converted from A, even if B recieved that upgrade long after A stopped existing.
Problem is Gaijin doesn’t care about that, F-35 wdns is about as similar in terms of compatibility of components as the F22 is to a F-35 Lightening 2.
Some small CM differences is fine but we’re talking about the internal structure getting completely redone. More fuel, reinforced wings, replaced nose, new electronics, new antenna for RWR receivers and cockpit overhaul.
Technical wise the XS is the closest to the J as they are basically the same thing. The F-35 is a completely unique vehicle internally and externally for something like mounted CMs it wouldn’t be too hard given older models like the Austrian Drakens also got the new counter measures initially. New radar would be a lot more intensive
the difference is the TNT equivalent
the CM-502 has 7.68kg of TNT equivalent
the LMUR has 19.2kg of TNT equivalent
and he is not wrong with the lmur having more pen, but it kills the leo bc it has enough TNT equivalent to overpressure the tank, the CM-502 dosent
I hope they buff the rb 15Fs warhead. rn it has less HE filler AND penetration than missiles with warheads 50kg lighter.
Bug report it, good luck
I have more details for this but realistically it’s not feasible for such drastic changes to the internal structure to be applied to the J models without breaking them, they lost one of their guns to have the computers needed to guide the RB27, with the internal structure of the F-35, F-35 WDNS, TF-35, A35XD, RF-35, you’d likely have errors trying to shove all of that into the frame. Exterior mounted stuff is a lot easier to argue for especially when models as old as the J35D can mount it
Sadly i cant find good sources on it other than for newer missiles. But also no source that states the warhead is any other weight for older models too. And sadly the only air to surface missile i can get up close and personal with irl is the RB04
Only museum I can think of is Arboga Robot Musuem
Yeah, and i wont be able to go there for quite a while sadly
Noah put these up.
• Incorrect explosive type
• Incorrect radar band
• Incorrect maximum range
I REALLY hope whatever they did to the jas39e on the dev server in terms of agility does not make it to live. ;-;
it feels so much heavier for no reason
Seems gripen overall (A, C, D, E) is getting a flight model nerf on the dev server for seemingly no reason. Dear gods i hope it does not make it to live
Gripen A, C, and D loses about 1g of the maximum it can do on live
Gripen E loses 2g
Personally i think we should go back to the previous dev server where gripen E could pull 17gs. Totally realistic trust
