SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

Isnt that basically what AGM-122 Sidearm does?

I do not know anything about that missile, but from a quick wiki read the AGM-122 is just a full on early ARM and does not really have a “home on jam” feature in that way.

@Necronomica now that the gripen E is getting its weight increased by 0.65 tonnes which is a consequence of its increased wingsize, will the plane finally, actually get its increased wingsize? Have any info on that?

No idea, i don’t have any behind the scenes info, these are my thoughts on the weight increase::

Alright, just wanted to know if you had any info on the subject.

But yeah I think it’s kinda weird how they accepted that Nerf report without fixing the wings, and i stand with you that with the weight increase should also come the wing fix.

Not the 1st time this happened. They kinda accept reports on random and since weight change is just a simple value in the code they can fix it on the spot.

I know 💔

(feels like) it’s closer to if it’s a nerf to Sweden, then it will be immediately accepted, no sources needed. But if it would benefit us in any way, no matter how detrimental it is or how many sources are provided, nothing will ever come of it.
Detta är värgen.

Yeah the bug reporter with the weight nerf didn’t even state any links to sources or anything. Like wth is this

Is this a buff or a nerf

Weight nerf but thrust and other variables got adjusted to meet previous performance it seems.

How does the turn performance compare with the new weight that was adjusted?

Idk I dont have dev installed. Simply pulled these screenshots out of Gszabi’s datamine

Might see if I can dig up something from statshark then. Usually Stat shark has dev server included too. Might log back in later and check out the Gripen E

Friend showed the FM turn time changes and uh

Potential RIP

Wish I understood what that means so I can be justifiably upset with you guys.
It’s ok though, I’ll just be upset anyway (I’ll figure it out later)

Sustain and instantaneous turn rate nerf.

Orange is old values (live)
Blue is new values (dev)

Ouch…

So they simply modified the weight of the plane without modifying the model plane? As written in that issue, Saab official website explained that the total weight of the Gripen is more than that in the current game, but did the game developers ignore that it is the total weight under the new model?
