SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

This with AIM-120C5 I think would be possible. Keep in mind that missile pylons on the belly are ejectors, not rails so theres more space in general

yup. with ejector racks as long as weapons don’t clip they can be mounted.
here is example of dual rack r77s, the fins literally overlap but since they’re not touching its fine. therefore I think aim 120 c5 should be able to be mounted there as long as it doesn’t clip the weapons

It was obvious that they would not give 13.7 GrippEn

AIM-120C5 got nothing to do with Gripen E being 14.0 or 14.3

It was probably going to be 14.0+ anyway, Gripen C is 13.7 and the E gets 3 more ARH missiles, AESA radar and IRST. That has been enough on several other platforms for a BR increase.

Its 14.0 in the files btw so thats amazing

Well, first bug i saw, the C-5’s image in the center is only two missiles but description text says 3 so it’s probably actually 3.

And yes, it’s 14.0:

RWR is still not spherical

Well the report hasn’t even been accepted so that one i personally expected.

updated

The radar antenna scan elevation MFD is bugged

A shame that the MFD is still very unfinished.

Although the map screen shows the enemies tracked by the radar now.

gripen can finally multirole without having one hand tied behind its back

It was already doing it in the dev, but the scale is still incorrect.

Still a bit of a bother that the centerline is grouped in 3 instead of permitting 1 of the spice racks and an amraam or two.

does anyone know what is the reason why we cant have BOL with A2G weapons in Gripen or A2A weapons with PIDS+ in F16AM? is it purely a balancing decision or technical problem with how pylons/launchers work? or just lazy implemention?
