SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Good news, it also came to this thing:

Sad we’re seeing a missile in the same range yet much higher closure rate compared to mk4, but are only seeing the first iteration. At least Viggen gets something nice.

How’s it? No idea what constitutes a good ASM vs bad. Except AGM-119, that thing barely dented my target and I never used it again.

The lack of range compared to much of the competition is pretty tragic. The radar is temperamental for getting them off the rail. The one I got off the rail had decent effect on target. Mk4 should have been the iteration we got for Gripen, given the threat environment it faces.

Hmmmm… Not entirely sure this is intended behaviour.

Locking ground targets?

Yeah, tracked too.

Well is it good at that at least?

Not remotely, It hits within 100m of the target at best lol

Added to “Weaponry and loadouts” section:

[DEV] RB 15F uses the incorrect explosive type

[DEV] RB 15F active radar seeker has the incorrect frequency ban

[DEV] RB 15F maximum range is incorrect

Good catch, did not notice it.

Doesn’t seem RBS15 can get through to hit a boat. AA is simply to effective. Also is this speed correct? Doesn’t seem to hit mach .9 at any point in its flight, outside of just dropping off the wing, at which point it tanks immediately to 900kph.

you can do that with every anti ship missile

especially the radar guided ones

When was this introduced? Not had it doable with any of ARH ASM up to yet.

you could do it since gaijin added anti ship missiles on planes that have GMTI

That would explain it. First time I’ve had to use gmti to launch an asm.

Out of curiosity did they add the RBS15’s erratic terminal evasion flight path?

Some AShMs feature erratic behavior to reduce interception rate.

Very much no. There is no range that I could get them through the AA. Flew straight into the boat, and was intercepted. Even in a full salvo.

no

basically every anti sgip missile is missing that

Bummer, at least I have Sea Power to mess with that lol
