SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

wake up babe, new gripen just dropped to cope about

upon comparing the ingame sensors on gripen-e to the ones placed on the sufa, they don’t really look alike

At this rate its a lifestyle :)

Us Gripen Enjoyers has embraced this :)

They had enough time to nerf it, maybe if we convince them that somehow it’s a nerf, well get it added :D

More like just Sweden players in general lol
Detta är värgen.

Could be SAAB’s MAW-300 from the IDAS package then?

There’s a couple articles with Elbit PAWS-2 being selected as well for the Gripen. I wonder if it’s possible there’s some avionics difference from the Swede vs Brazil Gripens then.

It’s a bummer that there’s obscure info on some of these stuff.

Probably for export or standard equipment. While the BAF & Flygvapnet use a customised option for MAWs?

MAW-300 mentioned?
Thats what the Tornado SLE uses :3

I think the MAWS sensors are different between the Swedish and Brazilian Gripens, iirc Brazil had two sensors per quadrant while Sweden only one. And then there is the difference in the EW suite as well. The Brazilian planes have significantly smaller “canoes” for the wing pylons. Like an in-between of 39C and the Swedish 39E. There was discussions about both of these earlier in the thread I think.

What the exact differences are and how they compare none of us will have any idea of I think.

My report for the belly station SDBs has been finally been looked at :DDD

May be cope again but i believe in a new gripen/gripen e fix next major

Lmao

If only gripen fixes that didn’t kneecap it happened.

Might be late but anyone played the Gripen E much during the recent Nuclear Escalation event when it came around again for testing?

How was the overall performance?

Kinda on hopium but do wish we could get the RBS15s or the KEPD 350

It was substandard. You could not engage midfield as reliably as the rest of blue, and you could not engage long range air defences as effectively as pact. It existed, and that’s about as much as you got out of it.

Very generic? AMRAAMs on the Gripen platform is so lackluster. It’s not even bad it just felt like flying a filler jet? I only played a few matches with it before switching back to F/A-18C MLU 2 and blowing S300s the hell up with JSOWs from 100+km.

Found an up close shot of the Gripen’s MAWS IRL

Cool, something I can use for comparison. At the jump it’s no relation to AN/AAR-57.

Can’t wait for next major to come and MAWS still being in this abysmal state. So glad they keep ignoring it.

I did find a cutout or images of the sensors themselves too.
