SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

the first place that someone on wt used it was in that discussion

Yeah the problem is when there is no targets in the radar, easy to miss whether it is on or off. Or if i turn it on briefly and it hasnt caught up any targets just yet, it is on but you dont know it.

There should be clear indicators just like any other plane imho.

Oh, that doesn’t really matter. Gaijin wants to know the original source to be able to judge if it’s credible or a something someone made up.

It’s official from Gripen NG brochure

Do you have a link to it? I haven’t seen that one.

Thank you :)
So if we’re going by that then it should be 12 spice bombs and a pod instead of 16 spice bombs and no pod.



Targeting pod pylon is clearly angled, likely to free up space for more weaponry on the fuselage.
While the pylon itself is modelled accurately in the game, the targeting pod does not follow that angle.

Pylon also appears to clip inside of the targeting pod

While you are technically correct the first image:

Is of a JAS39C and not the E.

TGP pylon for the E is different to C models iirc

It should be 16 spice and pod. I’ll do something later

Now just for them to fix the maws but i dont know if it has been reported

I think it was? Should be on the list

This still isnt fixed after a year, its more of a general issue with all of the Gripens but I think it still applies.

I wanna get the Gripen E just to chill in sim air battles with some good CAS weaponry to farm ground targets and this HUD thing is gonna make me claustrophobic.
