SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

Yep, I think Blue Vixen C&P is a good starting point at the very least and if it never changes from that, then until the Gripen E, the Gripen A/C are gunna be some strong BVR aircraft

They do improve the radar on later versions but the E can get AESA

Yep, exactly, and its not until AESA/CAPTOR-M that Blue Vixen starts to get outshone

CAPTOR-M was also based from blue vixen as well

But definitely better

Yep it was, its why they stuck with mechanical radar in the Typhoon.

We didn’t do what France did we waited for AESA to be ready whereas France put a crab PESA in the Rafale

That too.

Im hoping the changes happen next update

I wonder if there is a bit of a radar overhaul coming in next major update (or ARH update if its not next update) that would see significant enough changes (even back-end stuff that doesnt really affect the users) which is why F-15 and Gripen both have placeholder radars (no idea about the Su-27/J-11 or 4k)

Su27 is just a mig29 one right now

But i think it supposed to be though can be wrong

The su27 in game was never capable of fox 3

Yeah, but it might be a universal change that would also affect SARH carriers, not just ARH carriers, but is fundamental to ARH working correctly or something

It should not be

Blue Vixen already has air to ground and sea. Largely PS-05A is a Blue Vixen with minor tweaks and produced in Sweden.

the main issue i personally have with that turn-video is that the pilot stops turning halfway through when the top of the plane is visible. there is a clear ~3 seconds around 3’07 - 3’11 where the plane isn’t turning but instead flies straight.

i’m fairly certain that it isn’t the E version. The E version has bigger non-straight wings at the trailing edge.

Deception of vision

highly doubt it. compare to 6’03 and look at the differences in how the gap between canard and wing doesn’t change size between 3’08 -3’11 while the 6’03 turn does.

Once again, this is a trick of the eye

how?
