SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

It might be 2018ish as it received the IRST on the nose (later on of course) but in terms of upgrades it should be more similar to the 2016 models

The 6002 is used as a test platform before things are integrated into the in-service planes, it’s supposed to be as close to the in-service versions as possible so that compatibility can be tested.

Best way to tell if they had a difference is to get a solid picture of the belly of 6002, see if it features that same system then

Yeah I’m wrong, 2019 is 6002s first debut from Saab

Additionally no camera mounted on it from 2019-2020

Borrowed a friend to test 2 gripens loosing rbs15, and ~1-2 got through from each salvo of 8. Which is pretty tragic, and leaves the munition in a less than usable state. There needs to be some effort to correct this from them, as the interception rate is a bit silly.

I feel like it’s the equivalent of giving the E Rb24Js.

The balance would be gaijin modeling erratic ASHM movement to dodge enemy fire, that or nerfing their SPAA effectiveness

Also the RBS15 should fly at around Mach 0,9-0,95 instead of 0,8 as it is in game right?

Should be the same as the later missiles

Now if Gaijin doesn’t change the missile name in the files we are gonna be held up to our necks in bug reports

Yepp, I have never seen 0,8 Mach when it comes to the speed of the RBS15. Always 0,9 Mach or >0,9 Mach.

What is the name in the files then?

MK.3 the ground launched only RBS lol

Gaijin decided Gungnir is too new but they want an equivalent for ASHM-3 which has 300km range so we get a 200km range missile that can’t be launched from aircraft lol

Smin confirmed this

Wait what the hell, are we getting an air launched MK3 as it looks at the moment?

No such thing, the MK.3 has never been air launched

But that’s what the devs decided on

Only RBS-15F MK.1, RBS-15F-ER (which goes back to 2007 which means it’s probably a prototype of Gungnir), and lastly we have Gungnir RBS-15 MK.IV AIR

Literally one google search shows MK.3 wasn’t used on aircraft

I am aware such a thing doesn’t exist. I have informed others here about this as well. I was asking if this is what we got in game.

Looks like at this rate we’re gonna have more bug reports about RBS than we will have for the Gripens entirely lol

Absolutely bonkers…
