SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

last dev server it seems to have it from what i saw, maybe i was crazy

not sure how accurate this is but the weight spread looks fairly reasonable, ive been trying to dig up this finnish aero magazine article about Gripen E i saw few months ago that has plenty of stuff in it and i think i saw hardpoint limits in that…

What’s the website it came from?

Too bad at the top it says unofficial, not SAAB related 😔

I cannot believe the new F-16 Pobit makes our broken Gripen E look good :)

  • Still no 360 RWR
  • No chaff dispense on MAW’s just flare spam
  • Meh update.

Am i the only on who sets coutermeasures on gripen E to 80/80 and get only 54 flare and 34 chaff? What is the problem?

Large caliber CM slot maybe causing problems with that if I had to guess. Think 12 are exclusively flares

Opinions:

Do you guys run Rb99s or the 120C-5s after this update?

4x Rb99, 3x 120C-5

not sure of the origin, but i took it from a blogsite ‘‘gripens4canada’’ or something. i think i could try to look more into it more through other means (ask the author, contact some people) if somsone wants an actual use for it to put it into a bug report?

NVM let me shift through some stuff to add here, im still almost asleep at this point… be back in an hour lol

E: here is ther spreadsheet i got: and yes i was aware its not from saab:

-Gripen for Canada: Why the Saab Gripen NG is right for Canada

What is this for? i could be ready to do some research work if its for a good cause. (sry i skipped alot of the thread so far lol)

im running 120c all day, im speshul like that lol

Heard 120C/Ds got a slight change with maneuverability. CoM or something so I’m wondering if I should run the C-5 AMRAAMs though I don’t really pop off with long range shots in the Gripen E

i use it mainly on either high loft shots or when in going 2000-3000m alt diagonally to the target and launch, aim120c just hits more reliably for me up to 20-25km in sim

a/b seem to fall off everytime the target go 50-60dgr off course

I often shoot them from high altitude at people headed towards me on the deck at just below 20km. Since they don’t turn as much off the rail as the B they end up getting more on top of the enemy which negates the multipath.

same issue on all gripens, gripen e’s is higher for some reason.
it seems to be an issue with how they implemented the ‘reworked’ BOY 402 flare dispensers for gripens.

The MAW system on JAS39E

When gaijin will fix that thing ?

Gotta message a tech mod to see if they can nudge it

i think there’s a russian report that’s been accepted?
