SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

And unsurprisingly, in the interests of reinforcing the bias against Gripen, they’re pointing to the bug report system. Which they refuse to triage sound reports for Gripen E’s MAWS slaving capability, yet kill poorly formatted reports within hours.


Did what I could. Got this Community Bug Reporting System forwarded. Here’s hoping something comes of it.

Well going to be a 50/50 chance if they get it this update or end up holding off.

My reports went thru but I’d assume those were the easiest of bugs to fix out of the other reports.

It would be nice. The state of this is tiresome. It is a simple fix if they implemented the RWR accurately, but they may have screwed themselves on the copy paste on account of that. We will see.

Hopefully they action it with some level of priority given the travesty that was leaving it in the current state.

they fix the other planes MAW but the Gripens make it make sense…

I don’t even think it should be green… A slight purple tint. I’d rather have no tint at all than this abomination in dev right now.

Seems a little green in pictures, but very little.

Will gripen E recieve some 120D?

120C-8s maybe

But no word on that currently.

Damn this canard change making me hyper excited lol

Anyone have info about gripen E receiving a new HMS or any accepted bug report about it?

Check the list at the top of the thread:

Fixed

Looks like the 2016 mockup Gripen more than IRL, it’ll need a bug report basically now if we want it to get corrected

Even then that mockup looks no where as green as the one in game

I’m grasping at straws, I literally have no source for their change. I don’t know why they changed it

They won’t change it because sim players will be left to suffer

heard from a player on dev that a similar change was done to the EF’s hud, can anyone check this please?

The only thing I can think of is that Gaijin probably saw an image like this:
Screenshot 2026-03-05 at 03.40.36
With the green reflection in the sun, and wanted to make the in-game one look like that externally, but then completely messed up the internal cockpit view HUD whilst doing it.

It should have very little purple-ish tint. Gripen E simulators have no tint at all.


You can see it in this video from SAAB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbkScZFCgro

Really sucks for sim players that basically look through the thing for the entire game.
