SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

Come to think of it. Dont we already have an addition like that in-game somewhere?

Something that never actually made it to service but nearly did ?

Technically if we count the Saaf gripen yes, SAAF had planned to buy MS20 but it was only mentioned in pass, the economy just doesn’t support them getting that upgrade for at least a decade or more rn.

Problem is the players, yes, somehow they don’t know that R-Darter is bugged and plays like older AIM-9D with bugged autopilot and in many cases, AMRAAM is better because of this.

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

Did i do something wrong lol

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

They are a glorified MK.I

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

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
