Not surprising its a monster in a one circle fight, delta’s always are.

No, it literally sounds perfectly fine… that thing was accepted into service in late 90s with god damn long development. F16, 15, flanker or 29 are pretty much 1-2 decades older designs. Thats like wondering why is F16 better than F-4.
how so
there are no bol rails in the wingtips, its not a eurofighter ;P
Inboard pylons are possibly missing an extra BOL739/3 which is either a 6 shot flare dispenser like the BOL739/2 or a BOL rail attachment like that of the BOL-304, 500 or 700.

so its got all of its rails, just missing a few single countermeasures…
im more interested in this tbh https://www.saab.com/contentassets/b6dbecc8e8574587b91116a778fcd20a/estl-product-sheet.pdf
No its not a BOL-304, 500 or 700 rail found attached to the bottom of the pylon its on the end of the pylon;
So its either 12 more flares/chaff or another 160 from a BOL type rail. Like I said I’m unsure.
this shit is confusing as fuck
besides, isnt that a picture of the Gripen E’s systems?
its the one that got MAWS
It is, that’s why I said possibly. I have asked a Swedish main to try to track down some photos of it. As the BOL739/2 is a feature of the Gripen C as are the BOP-G dispensers, I think its very likely the BOL739/3 is as well.
But yeah the naming is insane haha.
SAAB just released a beautiful vid of Gripen C and E flying side by side:

I wonder when fcs / fbw will be modeled at all in game rather then just approximating its limitations and benefits. Hope theres no engine limitation unlike dropping chaff and flares separately
Engine limitation = laziness… if they can model different CM types, they can do it in two selectable windows each with its own bind.

Especially since CM’s are counted as weapons iirc.
There is already a weapon group selector. It would probably be super simple to implement a CM group selector as well.
there are limits. both in terms of aerodynamics and in terms of control.
they recently described that the roll rate had to be reduced to below 200°/s due to mouse control limitations.
they also explained that the aircraft was made aerodynamically stable to work with the current engine resulting in canard movements that are not a representation of the real aircraft
There another was written.
That they only worked normally in the rear hemisphere ±60 degrees, according to such countermeasures, and not as now with the guidance system from 9x. and it seems to me that before version AIM-9M-8/9 they could not work normally for such purposes.
Im really worried that means they are going to start artificially nerfing the Gripen in certain ways to nerf it.

According to the latest response from
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/uBilvdSHIVFx
the devs think the aircraft has a positive static margin, which is quite funny.
That’s what I’m concerned about
Equally the Gripen could be going the other way in terms of performance at the BR.
