Fair enough, as you’ve said situations can always change depending on scenario.
But this doesnt change the fact that EFT didnt had usable gun for couple years, like you mentioned.
Edit: When i said it didnt have usable gun i meant it wasnt operational due to not having clearence.
Sure that’s my bad, I was trying to address the claim it didn’t have a gun. But I could’ve been clearer. But yeah the situation is more nuanced than your typical pilot interview will allow for. Operational clearance is always more ideal because it means we’ve got all the process for using the weapon, maintaining the weapon, training on using the weapon etc etc all worked out. Emergency clearance is more akin to “put ammo in it, press this button to fire” ahaha.
Haha, more like: Pray and Spray :)
Can someone nocht this report to the staff ?
( JAS39C missing gbu-49 enhanced paveway // Gaijin.net // Issues)
Either get in contact with a tech mod or ping a forum mod
but who is in charge of the swedish assets.

Can we get spear 3, brimstone & asraam as well as IRIS T- added to the gripens eh ?
Idk but Gunjob would work since it’s also in the uk tree no?
Nudged it.
Can you nudge these ones too ?
( [DEV] JAS39 has LITENING II pod instead of LITENING III pod // Gaijin.net // Issues)
( JAS-39 HUD is missing its Tint // Gaijin.net // Issues)
( [DEV] JAS39C Missing Radar upgrades. // Gaijin.net // Issues)
The HUD Tint report is already taken care of and has been implemented as of today’s update
I am new to this part, but have we talked about the MAW system on the gripen C? Or that it should be able to hit Mach 2 at altitude?
Sigh first figure out what Gripens in game have. Second find out what nations have MS20 Gripens. The amount of people that don’t know (or blatantly ignore) the MS of the Gripem are why we have these weird hybrid abominations in game.
Additionally last time i checked MAW is only on the Gripen NG and the E.
Edit: Internal MAW is only on NG and E. ESTL pod is for the MS20 Gripens and uses a pylon we dont have in warthunder thanks to the gripens being a mess. The ESTL pod may fit on the other stations but ive only seen it on one pylon.
Your fact sheet is MS20 BTW.
SAAF Gripen is not MS20 nor has it ever been and essentially in the wrong chat. Any other Gripen thread would be better since all other nations use MS20 aside from SAAF.
Lets blame the people again like its not the devs who are the one who call the shots
I blame both, the devs didn’t know and are to embarrassed to admit they screwed up. And the people who do (minor) bug reports spend maybe 2 minutes checking google. Again the MS was only really mentioned on the swedish threads. Again its strange to me people dont assume that there are different C models.
I am fairly certain that the ESTL pod is fitted to the outer wing pylons meaning that it takes up a pylon for missiles. I think I read that they use the AIM-9 and AIM-120 system interface. Doubt there is another pylon just for it. I guess it could fit on the wingtips as well.
Guess i mistook another item for station 4 my bad
This pod is modular too so you can swap out the different modules like the MAW sensor and such for other things, not sure what the other things could be but maybe extra EW for planes that don’t have any.
Yeah, iirc they were only added with MS20. Though trying to find exact stuff with MS is occasionally a nightmare.
First fully operational version of the ESTL pod flown in 2014 from what I’ve found, MS20 was around in 2015 so not possible to do before hahaha
