SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

dang, but would it be possible irl?

Prob? I think there might be a report on it

now to just find enough sources to actually give gaijin reason to implement ;-;

@Michael-IR found this on for the NG showing it could mount the SDB’s the same way as SPICE
geripen-ng_weaponsystems

Sadly not an official source as far as i know. I don’t even know where that image comes from to start with, could be just a fan made guess for all i know.

I think it’s from DCS JAS39E mod

Excuse me. Why does the targeting pod become unusable when the SPICE250 is mounted on the ventral pylon?

Because they messed up with modelling and made TGP clip with SPICE rack

Does that mean it will be modified later to accommodate a targeting pod?

I dont know that but hopefully

They really did rush this update. Most planes are copy paste, just with a few new features. As far as gripen goes, it is quite a new plane compare to gripen C but developers didn’t seem to think so. Such a shame.

It’s a travesty. Spice is only really worth bringing with the targeting pod, the current implementation leaves the belly racks worthless.

Yeah and since belly rack is modelled as a single pylon you can only really bring 3 AIM-120 or 3 GBU’s. Cant even mix the loadouts there

Are there reports for these inaccuracies? The dodgy modeling and shoddy loadout options.

dose anyone know if there is a repport for the maws not deploying chaff?

Still irks me that the Gripen’s leading edge flaps don’t deploy properly and hasn’t been fix yet in WT. Should be a lot more aggressive and more angle to deploy,

Obviously, you’re simply biased and want the gripen to have more wiggly bits.

(Though this really ought to be fixed)

This is about something else, what about putting spice 250 under the belly of the plane and lighting III and using them at the same time?
