No its not a BOL-304, 500 or 700 rail found attached to the bottom of the pylon its on the end of the pylon;
So its either 12 more flares/chaff or another 160 from a BOL type rail. Like I said I’m unsure.

this shit is confusing as fuck
besides, isnt that a picture of the Gripen E’s systems?
its the one that got MAWS
It is, that’s why I said possibly. I have asked a Swedish main to try to track down some photos of it. As the BOL739/2 is a feature of the Gripen C as are the BOP-G dispensers, I think its very likely the BOL739/3 is as well.
But yeah the naming is insane haha.
SAAB just released a beautiful vid of Gripen C and E flying side by side:

I wonder when fcs / fbw will be modeled at all in game rather then just approximating its limitations and benefits. Hope theres no engine limitation unlike dropping chaff and flares separately
Engine limitation = laziness… if they can model different CM types, they can do it in two selectable windows each with its own bind.

Especially since CM’s are counted as weapons iirc.
There is already a weapon group selector. It would probably be super simple to implement a CM group selector as well.
there are limits. both in terms of aerodynamics and in terms of control.
they recently described that the roll rate had to be reduced to below 200°/s due to mouse control limitations.
they also explained that the aircraft was made aerodynamically stable to work with the current engine resulting in canard movements that are not a representation of the real aircraft
There another was written.
That they only worked normally in the rear hemisphere ±60 degrees, according to such countermeasures, and not as now with the guidance system from 9x. and it seems to me that before version AIM-9M-8/9 they could not work normally for such purposes.
Im really worried that means they are going to start artificially nerfing the Gripen in certain ways to nerf it.

According to the latest response from
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/uBilvdSHIVFx
the devs think the aircraft has a positive static margin, which is quite funny.
That’s what I’m concerned about
Equally the Gripen could be going the other way in terms of performance at the BR.

hm intersting.
imo for the sake of lower br aircraft it should be moved up but compmared to other 12.3s it shouldnt.
annoying dilemma
Problem of their own making. If they had more BR bravkets (say, up to 13.0 rather than 12.3) it’d be fair. Putting a Gripen up against a 11.0, say, the F-4E or MiG-21bis would be outright unfair.
This what happens when the player base of a nation who has to use inferior aircraft in game for a long time and adapted to working around the strengths of the enemy aircraft. So when the high skill players of the lesser craft finally get a good jet it’s feasting time. It’s basically gaijin admitting the Gripen is clapping cheeks

there is the remote possibility that we are getting clapped in it. Genuinely think we may just be too used to flying missile sleds by now haha.
our standards for “this was a good game” are much lower…
