SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Ah. Didn’t realize the RBS15 had a ground and air launch version

Either way I don’t think there’s a clear cut answer really with the Gripen pylons, might be a number that SAAB keeps quiet about.

General number I’ve seen for max weaponry capacity weight is around 7200kg give or take for the Gripper E

Gripen C airframe but can definitely carry some big payloads

love that the mockup RB 74 doesn’t have its rollerons

Quite a few images of Gripens use training missiles or mockups for their images.

Found 39E air frame with KEPD 350 and Spice 1000(?) mockup

The external fuel tank carries 1000L and jet fuel is proximately 800kg per 1000L

So at minimum that plus the fuel canisters weight.

And the NG has been seen with some large bombs on the belly pylons:

so likely able to stem the weight of most heavy ordinances

Yeah, it should be able to carry 4 of the RB15 at the same time:

yeah I know, but I don’t know if I’ve seen anything heavier on the outmost under wing pylon on the 39E. 39C is limited there as it can only carry maybe 500kg or somehing because a RBS15 on that pylon does not work on that plane.

I very much doubt that it would be able to carry 4 KEPD 350 though both due to size and weight limitations

Anyone know if the mfds are accurate for the e? Low k surprised the mfds don’t have nctr, pretty annoying. It’s the same issue that the gripen a/c has.

gripen a being even more annoying as it’s copy paste f-16 mfds.

I don’t believe so, some things are still sorta classified iirc but given the Gripens are a mess in general and the 6002 was clearly rushed and lacks its own HMD it’s very likely they used the Gripen C MFD as a base and called it a day.

Might be close enough, though it’s also hard to find actual images of the WADS with other configurations.

WT: Obviously not truly accurate, but also it’s probably difficult to properly model a WADS within WT’s engine

There is some good fotage of the WAD in this video of the JAS39E simulator that is at a museum:

Here is the closest version to what we have in game:

Has anyone made bug report about RWR coverage?

Iırc someone made for JAS39C but haven’t seen anything for E model.

I was referring to missing K Band coverage.
