SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

I dont know how much longer I can go for… my copium reserves are running dangerously low…

this is very very weird, they did do it for the KH38 missiles due to technical feasebility but dont do it for the gripen E

i have made a new bug report that has been shut down and labled as not a bug. this time i supported my claim with 4 different sources from different countries and ideaoligies and direct examples from matra defence ripped straight from the swiss national archive. other bugs reports for the mica have all been shut down due to lack of info from a manufacturer source.

this is my bug report, i reported it again but no reaction…

They did for the JAS39E as well, which is why it has SPICE bombs and the AGM-65G for example.

exactly, however my bug report about the gbu 53 did get through Community Bug Reporting System

If it hasn’t been handled in a long time you can contact the Technical Moderators to ask about it. You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.

Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.

Which in my opinion it shouldn’t have, the NG and the E are not the same.

bc the Su-30SM and Su-30MKM have mostly the same avionics from radar to rwr to fire control system

just using a Mil standart bus dosent mean anything
bc if you were to do that everyone would get every weapon
Mica for Mig-29SMT when?

then how about the mica missile for the gripen E? here is my report: Community Bug Reporting System

it just seems like there are conflicting issues when reporting smth, sometimes it gets passed through with for example the kh38 missile for the mkm due to technical feasebility but i need to prove the gripen series could carry the mica with imagery for it to be added

Way to many unusable 3’rd party sources with scattered information and a lot of assumptions made by you that aren’t explicitly stated in the sources.

Some of the things you say aren’t even in the sources you link to?

I’m not trying to be rude, but have you used AI to compile this bug report?

there ‘gripen E’ looks to be a gripen NG model in game from 2014-2020. the more modern gripen E has bigger elevators and small changes that arent present in game. its just like the cv90120, apperantly that tank is the model from 2007 as shown in this bug report Community Bug Reporting System

i didnt use AI. i might have to recheck all the sources cos i also copied some from previous reports, could be that the websites have changed

You’re mixing up the NG and E . There are MANY E versions since its a modular system, the version we have in game is a production prototype numbered 6002 that has existed in that configuration in real life. The NG is what it was called when it was still in concept and VERY early prototype stage.

Many of the websites are also 3’rd party and will not be accepted in any form as sources.

i mostly use saab, matra defence & mbda for my sources then some what i belive to be authored works from different sides of the world to support the hints and claims given in my primary sources

Before you make another report i recommend doublechecking in this thread here for the sources viability (just so that you don’t get a ban for spamming reports with the same info again as i have seen happen to others that just re-make the report with minor edits over and over).

I only skimmed the sources for sabb but i couldn’t find any of them mentioning mica or saying what you say they did.

for example: when brazil was looking to accuire the mica missile saab explicitly said that the gripen E can carry any wester missile and any future western missile in the brazilian arsenal.

the same goes for the gripen for india project. in interviews with indian air force pilot he says that the gripen E would be able to carry any western made missile, india at the time has a LOT of mica missiles for the rafale fighters.

could you screenshot that and link here? i couldn’t find it in the sources you linked.

ok thx for the info & the warning, ill keep that in mind. ill also list some things that saab said from my sources below here:

page 4 in the drawing it says weapon intergration. it also talks about open architecture for the plane, hinting again at other missiles being able to be used.

this is also from saab where it states:
Weapons System
Gripen E can be integrated with weapons for all types of missions; from guided glide bombs for precision engagement with low collateral damage, to long-range and agile air-to-air missiles and heavy anti-ship armaments. Because of its flexible avionic architecture, new weapons can be easily tested and/or added to Gripen. For example, the Swedish Air Force has now integrated the Meteor, which is an active radar guided beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) in its Gripen fighters.

here it says that new weapons can be added for the gripen and it has a flexible avionic architecture. since this is for india its once again greatly implying that the gripen E can carry the mica missile since india makes great use of them

Not good at all, does not mention mica and is way to vague.

same here, does not mention mica and is way to vague.

A source proving a weapon for a vehicle has to have it explicitly stated for both munition type and vehicle version.
