I just want RBS 15 mang.
Well, that and the lack of sources that some of them give, and by extension the bug-report managers accepting those reports within literal minutes…

So, a “correction to the incorrect weight” is implemented, but not the stated 98kN of max thrust (around 9,993.16 kgf) on the same datasheet? This makes no sense at all.
Be so for real right now. Rafales and Eurofighters, sometimes even SU-30s, absolutely walk circles in acceleration, turn time, and med-high-alt performance. The only advantage of the Gripen-E is sub 400km/h.
Not even mentioning the reduced max speed and max altitude compared to the same datasheet you sent, which was apparently used as a reference…
(Mach 2 = 2469.6km/h)
So what is your take on BOL?
It was MASSIVELY nerfed based upon a report that should have been rejected (it was complete and utter nonsense) , not accepted and then actioned and after more than 3 years. We still have massively nerfed BOL.
That change was totally and completely ahistorical and done entirely for “balancing reasons”
There are even SAAB documents for how effective it should be
I can think of a number of other bug reports that have been left in limbo for years longer than they should have been and the only conclusion I can come to is that they dont want to fix the report for balancing reasons

It should match the closest it can get to the IRL plane, even if that means nerfs sometimes
I’ve only semi been following the latest Gripen E news, so this might be wrong but from what I understand about the issue is that its both accurate and inaccurate at the same time.
The increased base weight comes from the extended flaps/control surfaces which havent been modeled yet. At least that is my understanding of where this weight has come from.
So the Gripen E gets only the downsides without any of the benefits of what that weight should bring, namely increased turn performance from those extended control surfaces

where have I heard this before
At SeaLevel.
At 11km, 2250kmh is about M2.12
The problem with Gripen (not only E, but C also) is that it’s designed for net-centric warfare, which doesn’t get simulated in WT at all. It’s a huge drawback for Gripen family of planes, as it’s as instrumental component of their combat effectiveness as it is flight performance for other types.

The weight comes from all of the additional fuel and electronics they stuffed into the plane.
Even base model Gripen overperforms any documentation for the longest time because Gaijin didn’t implement any kind of installation thrust loss for Gripen or F-18 engines.

IAS, not TAS
All engines in the game have lower values than stated data sheets due to something called channel loss. When an engine is installed into an aircraft it gets less airflow and loses some of it’s efficiency and power. I think the general standard is 5-15% loss if there is no actual data for the developers to go on.

Like drivetrain loss in a car. Also can I get my report looked at? Some volunteer is taking forever to reply and has a comprehension problem (I suspect laziness on reading sources)? But it’s taking forever.
When contacting the Technical Moderators here on the forum if you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.
Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.

Ahh nvm then, I am referencing a bug report.
Oh okay, then i recommend contacting them here as described above, any of them should be able to look into a report regardless of who handled it in the first place (or if it hasn’t been handled at all).
All the moderator teams are also volunteers with real jobs/school/families/hobbies/etc. So some wait time for responses are expected.

It’s TAS on statcards?
Every update it gets harder to go back and play airRB. Now we have the grippy bus added to the list

Been the same since they nerfed it: They misunderstood that despite BOL packets being smaller, they use a different chemistry that makes them more effective.
& Gaijin has been slow to remake flares in War Thunder for the upcoming generation of IR missiles, which they need to do.
If I was a developer, I’d focus on the remaking of flares to handle new generation IR missiles, cause that’s going to fix BOL pods anyway.
