SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Would find it a touch odd not to be able to correct for a mobile target, given one of the primary threats in the region has quite mobile coastal artillery groups. But I also haven’t seen too much one way or another. But I’ll leave the specifics for you lots to work out.

Hunting Soviet/Russian ships with this one. Also apparently looks like NT will be a full mode so that will be fun.

I want LRASM so bad

Imagine 5 of those things on an F-15E

Forgetting we’re on pact side 90% of the time there :p

To my understanding according to everything I have read is that the ground attack capability is pretty limited and intended for destroing costal defencive positions. There is a reason Sweden is buying KEPD 350 and not more RBS 15 for the long range strike capability.

Updating le dev server. Apparently it’s a 4 GB update so…some stuff may have been added…?

On top of the 7gb update earlier?

It was 4GB for me. I was looking at other threads and other people mentioned the dev server was borked for a bit.

Tragic, I had hope for a moment. Silly me 😿

Oh… yeah then there is absolutely no reason to not add the mk.4 :P

My post from earlier in the thread:

But if the ASM-3 is being added then i see no reason as to why the Mk.IV can’t also be added.

Not really as it has real time home on jam it automatically switches to and from as needed in the moment. (though anything can be jammed with enough effort anyway so it’s never impossible, this just makes it vastly harder to jam it)

agreed, though i dont think its stealth would be on par with JSOW or JASSM/LRASM.

i would like to see newer version of harpoon (AGM-84L or N) and LRASM along with it personally

ASM-3s going Mach jesus :>

Great report

RBS 15F added. It’s the first iteration, efforts will have to be undertaken to get mk4 standard before dev ends 😿
