But we can see from this file that it doesn’t seem to be rolling at the right speed in the game.

There is very little correct about the aircraft currently regarding the FM.

Not that I know of. Could be hard to report it all the time that the aircraft isn’t actually ripping at that G anyway.

As a sidenote to all the complaints the community has, can we all agree that the level of quality on responses on bug reports has drastically increased?

Now we actually get a response from devs on why the report was not accepted/implemented and i love it!

I have yet to see an airplane with ‘‘peace time’’ and ‘‘war time’’ structural limits.
On the other graph is about the structural integrity of the external store and the pylons more than the structural strength of the wing, that is why it remains constant with the weight.

I know that engines often get limited to extend their life span during peace time, but I’ve never heard of an aircraft’s load factor being limited.

This have been the standard since the new community bug report web was created 2 years ago, it has been a massive improvement in respect to forum bug reports of the past.
One of the moderators that does the most on delivering responses from developers is Trickzzter and he was getting hate for that…
But well that is on another topic.

Well, it is on every aircraft manual that you can find.

in my experience (and MANY others) it was the lack of respons that was the issue. a vast majority of the reports was labeled “not a bug” with NO further info. this is the most info i’ve ever seen us get on bug reports.
and if it has been the standard then that standard has not been followed properly the last 6 months to a year.
previously i could look through reports and see a majority of closed ones without explanation. now almost all of the reports i look at has an explanation accompanying the closing.

Edit:
last i heard anything about this the answer i got was this:

Staff will not add explanations, it has always been up to players to PM Tech Mods and they will explain anything

( Bug report duplicate should link to original report. - Questions to the Team - War Thunder - Official Forum )

I can only see two examples at most of what you say on your profile.
And this are because human errors.

He probably means forum moderators with ‘‘staff’’

this was an answer in respons to a bug report closed without explanation.
and you are correct that i personally don’t have many examples of that happening to me, but i was talking in a more general sense, i look at bug reports other than my own around 3-4 times a week.

I just realized as well, i think the G-suit give to little bonus on the JAS39.
The suit was upgraded heavily when they went from JAS37 to JAS39.
Now in the game the gripen G-suit gives the same bonus as the viggen G-suit.

It’s not directly related to the Gripen, but for British aircraft it is common to have two sets of limits. The “normal operating limits” which is what the pilot is should normally fly within to preserve airframe life, and the “operational necessity” / “never exceed” limits which represent the full flight envelope of the aircraft. In peacetime pilots are expected to stick to the normal limits, but during war they are allowed to follow the never exceed limits if they deem it necessary.

Some examples:

Ive loved it myself so far, first day i pulled off three insane fights (unfortunately wasnt recording and couldnt clip them due to them lasting too long)
But
#1 i energy trapped and killed two F16s and a JA37D
#2 same again but just two F16s
#3 three MIG-29 SMT
its just a joy to fly but it does feel reasonable at the same time, it doesnt feel as if its doing things that are just impossible for the airframe

In all honesty if our AMRAAM fighter was either this gripen C or honest to god a copy pasted one but with AMRAAMs i’d be very happy

The gripen has a switch in the cockpit to the back right labeled “peace” at the top and “war” at the bottom. i don’t have exact sources or even reliable information but it is supposed to unlock some limits on engine, g-limiters, radar bands and overall electronic/flight characteristics to make the plane a step better overall.
