SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

Like im trying to find Derby/R darter mounted on a common launcher rail so i can say that R darter should get BOLs on the same rail

Does any one know what rails are on these Cheetahs the ones with R darter

nice ill check it later

The guy in your own video says “it’s the MLD of its battle rating” lol. UFO flight models are only a problem when it’s non major nations though I guess.

Please don’t tell me you also put value in win rates?

He has a better kill death ratio in the SMT and Su-27 compared to the Gripen, but the win rates are the complete inverse. If he’s performing worse in the Gripen, but still winning matches, doesn’t that perfectly demonstrates how bad a metric win rate is? That it is entirely dependent on your team?

No one is disputing the fact that the Gripen is the best plane in the game, it’s just funny that his stats reflect the opposite whilst he cries in every Gripen thread on the forum about how brain-dead easy it is to use. As if WT is just people mindlessly dogfighting in sim.

edit:

Also disagree about the SMT - I find it pretty good, and I like using it in grb. If it got an targeting pod it would be amazing.

It’s ok in ground rb, but yes a pod would make so it much better

While the MLD performed better than peers, and still mostly does… it wasn’t due to an error in the FM causing severe overperformance.

The gripen, while performing above its’ peers… does so due to an erroneous temporary flight model pending fixes that allow unstable designs to function with instructor.

Excuse me, it’s unrelated this topic but another fighter aircraft with active radar homing BVRAAM as a researchable before JAS39C Gripen from SAAF would be Atlas Cheetah C or Cheetah D for UK tech tree ?

maybe it could come with R darter as well it would be nice to see

That would be an option, but I’d rather they gave one with the R-Darter and one without, so that we could have a 11.3-12.3 fighter aside from the FGR.

good

Is much known about the Cheetah’s flight performance?

C with r-darter and the D without maybe

well its just an upgraded mirage 3 so their might be it is a bit more then that

That would be ideal as the C has a BVR radar and then the Cheetah E with something like V3S or V3B missiles.

It is legitimately solely to do with the overperformance caused by a FM error

The erroneous FM?

From what info you have which is none and just comparing to a mirrage 2000
please if you want to whine about the flight model do it in a different thread

My reports are very well sourced and there is far more than sufficient data to indicate 2x the specific excess power of the F-16 is a-historical.

This is 100% within the scope of the discussion on the characteristics of the Gripen. It falls within bith “technical data” and “discussion”.
