SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Thailand doesn’t have MBDA MICAs. They do use the MBDA Meteor missiles. Other armament that we would see is IRIS-T and Python 4s.

However it’s unclear if Gaijin will add the Thai version of the JAS-39E. They haven’t received their batches yet and likely won’t see it for a while till Sweden gets up to speed with their JAS-39E program. IIRC some of them were leased from the SwAF

I have no idea, Game Masters deal with in-game chat and name bans. We have no insight or influence over development and no contact with the developers.

Gripen E would be pretty dope with MICA’s, but i would gladly settle for aim120d for now

IMO I think I’ll stick to 120A/Bs. I might try out C-5s when new update drops but I’m just waiting for IRIS-T and Meteor combo at this point.

only reason to take the aim120c-5 is for really long range shots, or scrubbing out jets in the multipath with a little more reliability… the turning buff is nice, but my base gameplay of throwing it into low orbit to descent onto enemies like a discount phœnix won’t change i reckon

Closed as it was fixed in “Ninth Strike”

found these two grainy pictures of a FAB F-39E testing bombs, it kinda shows that asymetric and more loadouts for the belly are possible than what gaijin has so far made possible (although those bombs being either inert or entirely mockups)

Autism spiking. Yeah there should be a “landing flap” option similar to rafales and Eurofighter while watching these Gripens land.

not to mention the elevons deflecting into a rafale style airbrake to create further drag upon touchdown
(beating up a horse here)

Honestly they should do something similar with how the air brakes work on the F-111s.

The spoilers on those wings don’t deploy until they fully touchdown

Maybe they could code the elevons working the same way maybe.

similar to Tornado with thrust rev on,

dev closed, green hud for the gripen not fixed, what a day to wake up

i might use a/b when playing air rb but for sim its always 120c, close range turning hasnt been really an issue imo because its already so close aim9m can get them/its time to set up for a dogfight. when i want to do knife fighting with missiles im just going to play flankers.

I hope the green HUD gets fixed its annoying as F

Smin stated it only has one image it needs more

gotchu, searching for some rn to add to the issue

Well, underbelly pylons are a thing since gripen C/D models, but apparently for gaijin some cases are reliable and some are not. But whatever, all gripens are half backed

Spoiler

if found these pictures,



the centerline is definitely more capable, as it seems to be the very similar to MELP5 as the new two on gripen e

updated, have added the images i’ve uploaded here
