SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

That was the soft problem, that was fixed with soft part of 2. IIRC the part of the soft that was comparing last position of the target to the current one was sometimes creating ghosts in the soft, resaulting in the missile going for that ghost.

So there was no IOG added to any of the Mavericks?

Not that i know of.

Summary:

So, why can’t the Gripen carry any radar missiles on the wing tips? Was thinking about starting the Swedish aviation grind with the draken on sale, but I think the recent fm nerfs, along with this tiny detail might ruin my interest.

Sweden air tree isnt worth it lmao. Also the reason they dont carry radar on the wing tips is because the wing tips normally have other important sensors there. If you do plan on playing the tree there is like 5 decent vehicles that are fun to play.

If you have specific questions about the J35 and my actual opinion as i bought it just recently to see how it feels i can tell you. Or if you have any actual questions about any swedish air vehicles just DM me. Mainly cause talking about them is off topic to the post.

Half educated “guesstimation”:
I think its because they are to heavy and require to much data to be transferred from cpu to wingtip (requiring larger interface and more cables drawn). had they been mounted there the g-forces would probably tear the wings of.

In Saab’s brochure says, that wingtip pylons has a weight limit in 110 kg.

Oof, rip gripen players than

Not RIP, but in GRB it’s certainly a big con vs F-16, which can carry aim-120+AGM-65+GBU.

Gripen E should alleviate that, the gripen is a light fighter anyways so its not an f18 or f15. Besides finland will get the F18/A-C/D and the MLU 2 version

I do hope they add the british flight school camo for the SAAF gripen. Its not to bad and an unlockable skin should be available for every jet they add. Besides it would fit the british tree anyways

surely the gripen is still the best dogfighter in game? I mean its pretty much in the same maneuverability class as eurofighter and rafale is it not?

The C has below a 1 Thrust to weight ratio. The gripen E would make it on par with the EFT and Rafale as it improves the engine to above 1 TWR. Also since its smaller it ahould have better AOA than eft and Rafale but the problem is sustainability. Currently in game its the best but its going to get another FM nerf to 15° (f4e btw has 13.5°) f16 has about a 25+ aoa in the right conditions since its also over performing.

E version max AoA 20deg
TWR<1

Depends on how much fuel you bring, what loadout you have and mostly if you use afterburner or not.

Where did you get that info?

About AoA with a video about the simulator.About RWR.The mass empty is 8t, the thrust of the engine on the stand is 10t when installed in an airplane 0.9× 10 = 9000kgf, and 8 + fuel + 4 rockets ~ 11 tons are obtained

well. sure, but that still doesn’t answer my question.
where is that information available?
