You were already corrected about this… you read the MTOW as max fuel.
Yep, but I had the wrong base value for the Viggen because it’s overperforming.
Yep!
If you feel it warrants a report
They suggest a 9G soft limit and a 12G hard limit, not even the MiG-29 gets to exceed the AoA limiter with SAS dampening… so why would they arbitrarily model that especially for the Gripen? Just switch SAS off.
They can abuse the trim mechanics to sustain >10G turns at high speed indefinitely with the flares auto deploying lol
Yeah, so you can go, guestimate tons of nerfs based on old mirage 2000 or F16 comparison because its impossible for european jet to beat F16 or god forbid, something russian. OH WAIT, Rafale is dominating sales where flankers had pretty much monopol.
If that’s your perception of what the sources say, perhaps they aren’t far off
My opinions are heavily based on available information and not personal feelings
Please don’t take this in the wrong way, I mean it sincerely. I genuinely think you’re someone who would benefit from a professional psych evaluation. This is not the first time I’ve seen you just blanket deny being wrong, even if you have to contradict yourself to do so. You accused me of reading MTOW as max fuel when that is what you were doing. That’s textbook disassociation. Someone else even commented to verify I was correct and you were wrong. So if you’re genuinely still believing you’re in the right, I think you might be suffering from some form of mental illness/manic episode.
LOL, so we just nerfed the JAS39 because someone added a number to a graphic?
If anyone finds the same graphic with a proper scale to it, then yes, that would make sense, but a hand written change in Paint?
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I am telling you that the SAS mode applies normal flight control restrictions wherein you guys want to exceed these. That is already possible in normal non SAS modes… extending the amount of energy bleed to be able to do 12G’s in SAS dampening would ruin the point of the mode.
There are certainly optimizations they could make… like holding a button to remove the G limit aspect of the SAS mode but imo it’s a good compromise.
