SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

Okay, Is this new or have I been an idiot for the longest time ever?

Started using this in SB (where judging ranges is a pain) and my killcount has sky rocketed.

Thanks for the lesson

Funnily enough, I believe, despite Sweden signing the treaty against cluster munitions, it’s stand off munitions are the BK90 I believe.
Edit: definitely not (This is the E though)

Only if it have better radar missile it will be perfect

Isn’t it just camera moving under plane (in another plane) while it just doing left roll?

I hope there is enough people that daily tell you that you are brilliant, because you are! :)

i highly recommend the Swedish armed force’s own YouTube channel and their serries “vägen till stridspilot” (The road to being a fighter pilot). its amazing.

on a sidenote; their serries “Jägarsoldat” (loosely translated to “Ranger”, “Commando” or “Hunter-Soldier”) is also very good, but its not about vehicles.

Gaijin expand JAS39 Gripen C (SAAF) to 12.7 BR in all mode. but wonder might considered infrared Air-to-Air Missile (50G ~ 65G) with IRCCM replace AIM-9M & Skyflash (Rb.71) after this month ?

Honestly, I’d hope/think not for the sake of the Game. R-73s and Nine Mikes are pretty powerful as is, i’d much rather more decompression and more powerful airframes rather than better weapons getting slung around. I don’t disagree that Skyflash is a bit… garbage for 12.7 but equally the only other thing they could add is AMRAAM, and I really don’t want to see that or equivalents yet.

The gripen is already the best plane in the game right now by a pretty wide margin, it doesn’t need any help.

Depends what others get i except the one coming to Sweden next to have AMRAAMS

If they add that then they must add aim9x as counter which I’m sure you would not like

I think he know if they add IRIS-T other nations equivalent will follow

Do have to agree. As far as A/G goes it looks pretty good going, and A/A it is a monster in everything but BVR. To which the correct response is “Get low”

Something with a bit more reach than Skyflash would be nice but if I’m honest I don’t think it needs it. It holds most of the advantages over something like an Su-27 or F-15 in CQC.

I expect gajin not forget change targeting pod to Rafael Litening III for JAS39C Gripen the first major update

Swedish Gripen C armed Rb.99 (AIM-120B) and Gripen C from Czech Republic, Hungarian & RTAF fired AIM-120C-5 AMRAAM except SAAF JAS39C Gripen

it will always have a problem in the amraam meta because it only carries 4…

Look guys proof that the Gripen has upwards of 90-100° of instantaneous AOA!!!

gaijin fix
