Most likely they will uptade it when Swedish one arrives, current Gripen C is basically c&p from Swedish Gripen A plus extra countermeasures and Maverick B models.
Afaik, there are two major Gripen C; the ones from Batch 2 and the true Gripen C from Batch 3.
You would have to research on the SAAF Gripen deal and pictures to know which one they got. The Batch 3 got the new cockpit, PS-05/A Mk.3, the better engine and full NATO standard capability.

2005 ones but parts of their were built in South Africa
Probably, but cockpits are rarely a pirority for them unfortuantely. Tornado F3 is still missing all of its radar symbology (like we have in the Gripen), Sea Harrier FRS1 took 9 months to get its placeholder cockpit replaced because of “research” but the HUD is still a placeholder from the Gr3.
So many cockpits have so many problems, Unfortunately only a minority care about the cockpits being modeled correctly

That’s unfortunate it still feels like a UFO, hopefully it doesn’t stay that way. I don’t want to go back to a F-16 situation where people they were good with the plane or that the plane is the best dogfighter in the word just because it has a somewhat broken FM
The only “Batch 1” Gripen C is the Hungarian, it is modernized Gripen A. The very new (from the production line) Gripen C is that South African, Czech, Swedish and Thai.
İt has nothing to do about bein UFO and yet you’re asking even more nerf?
Is the update live? I’m on and it still says Im on version 2.33.0.17
Yes it is.
All adjustments has been applied to Gripen.
We frankly don’t know if it’s broken or not. It’s classified. There are some (sketchy) tiny amounts of data-points on its performance at various - but mostly unknown conditions.
At the end of the day it’s up to Gaijin to model it how they please. There aren’t enough sources to create its flight model. Which is part of why the mig23 guy got so much backlash because he was trying to draw conclusions to en entire flight envelope off of single datapoints by pretty much guesstimating the figures, and he clearly showed bias against the Gripen as he contradicted himself to make it look bad.

A plane that performs better on the vertical than an F14, Mig 29, F16C with such a small engine and can do tight loop at 15k meters without losing a lot of speed is a UFO, it could rate, 1c, 2c without losing energy or barely any
İt cant outrate any more due to new changes.
Also Gripen is aerodynamicly better then those planes, have you ever considered that? Ofc you didnt.
This only Russia and Usa can build proper jets myth is nothing but bs tbh.

My brother have seen the size of F14 vs a Gripen small engine but small plane
The Gripen IRL is comparable to the F16 and is also newer
You don’t even have it. Your entire opinion is based of fighting it (where pilot skill is a factor) or test drive…
The Gripen is more modern than all of the planes you listed. Why is it so hard to believe that European nations can produce top level tech?
I didn’t consider that… well yes I did, I’m just talking in pure vertical… better or not it’s still a delta. The drag of the gripen is a joke… ans the way it used to keep energy was a complete joke (I played only one game with it right now with the new changes, it seems better now)
Anyway feels like everyone was whining about how they won’t be able to dogfight without connecting 1 brain cell…
Well, first of all the Gripen design originated from the 70s and first flew in 1988… It’s handheld by avionics and ordnance. The thing has a lot of inaccuracies to resolve still.
It’s not on par with similar era vehicles let alone modern ones.

Because people like you keep asking for it to be nerfed without basis, because you think it couldn’t possibly be better than US or Russian jets.
That’s against the rules fyi.
It’s inspiring that you still feel brave enough to voice your opinion.

What are you on about the planes your comparing it to were made in the 70s it first flew doesn’t meant anything as in the years before it entered production it had changes
