Not really, a semi-historical or fictional camo wouldn’t be unreasonable given that there are camos like this in the game:
It’s not that, it’s that it would make far more sense to be added to the ZA MS19 Gripen since it’s on the UK tree.
Going to Sweden wouldn’t make sense, just like how Russia still getting Finlands woodland camo makes no sense
Oh, i’m not that knowledgeable in how skins are chosen for specific countries that operate the same vehicle. Mind giving me a TLDR?
This is a long rant so I’m just closing it into this so I don’t muddle the entire forum here.

It’s honestly all over the place, skins usually go to nations that make sense or have ties, or just being money in with the snail see moments of valor skin choices for that.
Germany got Finnish skins before Finland was added. Same with Russia though they just don’t stop getting Finnish skins but that’s a whole other can of worms.
Short story short, skins go where gaijin wants them and sometimes they don’t make much sense. In the case for asking for a British flight school camo for a swedish Gripen it makes less sense for it to go to us when a Gripen exists on the UK tree.
Vehicles don’t need to match 100% either as I listed with the camos above. Hell Finlands WW2 ground vehicles basically only have 2 or 1 Finnish camo with the rest being swedish.
As for market camos those camos are applied based on what vehicle the creator makes it for. IE see all the Draken camos I listed above.
Regardless the point was why would Sweden get a British flight school Camo?
Market camo for the J35A was made for that vehicle, thus it was skipped and not added for the actual intended vehicle.
Arguably this is why Johan Gul was also probably axed despite being basically finished back in 2022 when the J35J was first shown off, only difference when it was on the recent dev was the F-35 BOY 402 dispenser, likely gaijin chose not to add it to gain value from the market camo which imo is skummy as hell.
Here was the J35J on the dev with Johan Gul

That makes a lot of sense :)
For sure, this new one is originally a A variant IRL but got given to the E in game.
Thx for info! :)
Ye I did a forum suggestion for red day glow for the Gripen A alongside the Gripen Aggressor

Cool :)
For me personally I would love the aggressor skin, imagine if the lightning bolts and red accents were made reflective while the black is really matte <3
( I’m gonna go ahead and promo your other suggestion as well JAS39C "Aggressor" Skin )
Would be nice to get non market camos for once
Be cool to have ace combat skins, but for now user skin is the savior for the time being.
Yeah been playing a little bit of AC8 and speedrunning to the Gripen E in there
Kind of want to see the series production skins too. Sure they’re plain grey but I do like them.
AI descriptiion btw
Going back to this model, what is mounted on the wings? Looks like Brimstones on the outer pylons, but what is going on on the inner pylons? Gbu-53? Spice-250? Brimstone? I might be too tired to figure this out tbh
quite likely to be mockups of the SPEAR 3 weapon?
Looks like some sort of combo triple rack for GBU-53 and SPEAR 3 perhaps, the middle one is different from the outer two on the rack.
Seems like they have similar designs for their mounting.
Haven’t seen any mentions of Sweden procuring SPEAR 3 though unless there’s something I haven’t heard yet, or seen.
Found this:
Edit:
But no, i don’t think Sweden operates them.
What is the standard when it comes to the Gripen for getting munitions added to it in WT? I know that Saab are very keen to advertise potential even if nobody uses it, but the JSOW seems like a fairly logical addition to me…
Balance basically. As long as you can show that it is advertised as being compatible with something or having carries something then it has the chance to get it in-game. As an example you have the Spice bombs and brimstones, never used IRL as far as i’m aware but has been advertised with them mounted on showrooms.

Do we have a full list of munitions yet to be added somewhere?
