So many people refuse to learn to play their vehicles and call them trash or bad. Its the same deal ive been having when trying to help players learn the F-35 WDNS recently, you need to know the equipment you have and how its gonna perform, people expect the vehicles to play like a basic turn fighter and overbleed their speed or expect the missiles to do everything.

Had someone tell me their 9J’s miss every shot and showed me they were trying to hit some crazy shots, its crazy people cant even see the lead their missile needs even in top tier lol

Stuff isn’t that different in top tier. If people dont learn their vehicle and its equipment of course they’ll do poorly. Its all about learning unfortunately people are stubborn

This is why Drakens and Mirage 2000s lost their edge, because people were turnfighting with them. Now you cant pull at high speeds at all.

That is a chat of all time

4714

Did i do something wrong lol

4715

Not sure if the forum mods would like that chat lol
9N tho is better than 9J isnt it?

4716

In game they are identical, though our F-35’s never used 9N only 9N-2

Also i cant help what people say in chat lmao

9N’s are just a copy of the 9J as they have the 20G pull and 2.2s burn

The 9N-2 that it should have would get a low smoke motor with a 3.2s burn time, gaijin was just too lazy to add that to the F-35

Though if you’re interested in the AIM-9N-2’s i recommend messaging me here since we’re off topic here

You have seen who made the N-2 report right?

4718

You lmao, but ima be real i just wanted to share my post lmao

4719

Yeah this, what if the government just simply annulled the deal, just to own Gaijin releasing Gripen E for the sake “Filling the gap” for Japan lmao.

4720

wouldnt be the first time japan gets something that never went into service

4721

F16AJ isn’t even real, service is barely the tip of that iceberg lol

gripen radar gimbal limit overperforming

None of the radars in game are the MK.IV model though

4724

what are they? from what I can see they’re a mashup of a bunch of models

4725

They are a glorified MK.I

4726

IF they were buffed to the MK.IV standard then id support this change but given none of them use the correct radar i cant support this. Its a nerf without any historical buffs to a fighter thats already mishmashed. Using a MK.IV doc to nerf a radar that isn’t the MK.IV is silly

4727

well it’s not stated what version it is in game. if it’s just gonna get ghosted like my mig-29 radar report it is what it is, but it can’t hurt to put a report in. its up to devs to decide

4728

It can hurt because the devs have acknowledged they have no interest in a historical Gripen so using a different radar to nerf the one in game is a terrible idea. Its the same problem that got the gripens in this mess was people bug reporting stuff they have no idea what they are bug reporting

Considering that the gripens in game are a mashup of a bunch of versions, does it really matter if its radar is a mashup of different versions as well? I mean, I’ll look for documents for the original ps-05 as well cause i might as well, but IMO it’s unlikely that the gimbal limit changed/decreased from og ps-05a

The original radar which is what we have in game was based on blue vixen, gaijin basically gave it blue vixen as a placeholder as the original radar iirc is not known spec wise, i could be wrong but for the game its a copy of blue vixen.

You’d be better off looking for blue vixen and doing actual research or asking questions before you put together a bug report in the future.
