SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

for example: when brazil was looking to accuire the mica missile saab explicitly said that the gripen E can carry any wester missile and any future western missile in the brazilian arsenal.

the same goes for the gripen for india project. in interviews with indian air force pilot he says that the gripen E would be able to carry any western made missile, india at the time has a LOT of mica missiles for the rafale fighters.

could you screenshot that and link here? i couldn’t find it in the sources you linked.

ok thx for the info & the warning, ill keep that in mind. ill also list some things that saab said from my sources below here:

page 4 in the drawing it says weapon intergration. it also talks about open architecture for the plane, hinting again at other missiles being able to be used.

this is also from saab where it states:
Weapons System
Gripen E can be integrated with weapons for all types of missions; from guided glide bombs for precision engagement with low collateral damage, to long-range and agile air-to-air missiles and heavy anti-ship armaments. Because of its flexible avionic architecture, new weapons can be easily tested and/or added to Gripen. For example, the Swedish Air Force has now integrated the Meteor, which is an active radar guided beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) in its Gripen fighters.

here it says that new weapons can be added for the gripen and it has a flexible avionic architecture. since this is for india its once again greatly implying that the gripen E can carry the mica missile since india makes great use of them

Not good at all, does not mention mica and is way to vague.

same here, does not mention mica and is way to vague.

A source proving a weapon for a vehicle has to have it explicitly stated for both munition type and vehicle version.

i know it doesnt directly mention that the gripen E can carry the mica missile, it still says that the gripen E can carry weapons from the indian airforce. mix these vague implications with those secondary author works that say that the gripen E can carry the mica missile makes its (in my opinion) quite a strong argument.

mix these arguments in with the brochure from matra defence where there is a gripen E illustarted fireing a mica missile (as a showcare of its interoperability with other platforms), idd argue that i have a pretty solid case for it to be added.

dude, did you just change your issue to a rickroll?

It isn’t no report will ever be accepted on those grounds. assumptions and vague connections are never enough when reporting things like this.

Key word. Does not mean that it can fire them IRL.

What SAAB does say in many cases is that things like this can be integrated, that doesn’t mean that they already are but they can be if wanted by the customer. This isn’t enough for a report.

Perhaps, but this whole bug reporting thing feels like one of the circles of hell, which is why I’ve vowed never to waste a second on it again. I’m just tired of seeing: not a bug, marketing lie, not enough info(alr this one can be justified), AI edited reports from some players, and so on…just not worth it; But generally its’ wt dev/QAs job to do that in first place, not a player who starts a game to enjoy it, just sayin

Gripen seems to be having betty vws now

nice

Unfortunate it doesn’t sound like the actual VWS but I guess gaijin used up all their AI prompts on the gooner anime tanks

tbf, some parts of behaviour introduced in the dev server seem vibecoded

It’d be nice though. Make Sweden almost worth playing.

Lack of RBS 15 is making me slightly disillusioned.

on dev ?

Yep :)

we are so back

surely gaijin will fix all the others issues right ?

i mean, the fact that a gripen-c has more loadout options for the belly than the gripen-e, whose main pylon upgrade came to the belly, is kinda sad.

Guys, let’s bring Gaijin to this problem on gripen e through a bug report.
