SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

I guess you know best, and they only put it in every new fighter for fun.

As entertaining as it is hearing your fascinating tidbits of wisdom, this is the Gripen thread.

“Stop derailing”.

i want to sleep without thinking about what i’m going to have to say in 6 hours to whatever digression we’ve made it to for christ sake 😂

And yes, i’m aware that that isnt very healthy.

Looking forward to seeing multiple well sorted reports from the mig 23 guy demanding nerf of top tier Soviet jets or tanks with the same dedication as he has expressed towards the “overfperforming” gripen.
I highly doubt that it will ever happen because of “reasons”

He’s claiming the Vikhr is underperforming…

In other news - we now have an actual South African Air Force Icon for the vehicle card.

Is always nice to see. By the looks of it our first round of Gripen FM changes are live so may be worth putting it through its paces.

they add the texture at fuel tank

lol Vikhr is a TOW-2 with longer range.
Gripen is more powerful than Ka-52 ever was in ground RB.

not in game yet so soon

I’ll take it for a spin tomorrow on the Dev if it’s not hit live by then.

What does that have to do with it?
The vikhr is overperforming, but he’s arguing it’s underperforming. It’s dishonest.

I don’t know if it is, but someone said the FM changed are already live?

Vikhr isn’t over-performing. It has its accurate range, its accurate beam-riding capability, its accurate maneuverability, its accurate speed, and its accurate trash penetration.

They are not.

Gripen and SU27/J11 FM changes are live

Gripen is still good

They did increased rip speed on the deck,

İ managed to reach 1480km on new map without even getting reduce speed warning, aside from rip speed what did they changed?

Added a fair bit of drag and reduced sustained turn rate a bit but honestly it seems to have made it better to fly lmao

İndeed, it feels better then before.

Also i just test drived and apperantly it can reach 1520km on the deck without any issue.

This is a win win situation for me, lol.
