SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

you mean LRASM, because that is the equivalent of those systems (at least the versions you are thinking about)

harpoon should be added way before either of those

Yeah but knowing gaijin itll be here 3 years too late

this is in no way unique to gripen

Oh, guess it isn’t. Oh well, learn something new every day. Looking into it, seems its fairly ubiquitous for modern fighters.


They should add the Taurus KEPD 350 trust

I was lurking in the forums late last night and saw this thread complaining about the new gripen and i just thought ‘‘yeah, f14 iriaf deserves this a little’’
gripen f14a

Just felt the need to share this, this is so cool.

Not even sure it would be all too unreasonable in the current climate.

Biggest issue i see with the RB 15 is the range. It’s not really balanced to have a 200km+ IOG+GPS guided 600kg+ missile with 200kg of HE. Even the earliest version have 70km+ of range but that seems way more reasonable with todays in-game munitions ranges compared to 200km+.

It’s also FAST (SAAB states 0.9 Mach)!

Range doesnt matter, maps are not close tot that big.

The Kh-59 is already there, right?

Don’t think that range is going to come into play either way + you already got jets flinging a load of missiles/rockets from the safety of their airfields to the cap points

It’s also an utterly useless missile that’s worse than a kh29td is every situation for grb

True actually.

Sorry. I mistook it for the Kh-38.:)

At top tier that ain’t all that fast. AASMs and Mavs are about that speed as well

it should be tho. That’s why a general quality check and fixes would complement the game play and the jets that we have in the game right now and in the future.

I think the key to GRB CAS is speed, because it reduces the time to intercept.

0.9 mach is by no means fast for game standards and Kh59 is already there with the same statcard speed

Sorry, I sent the reply to the wrong address
