I want the XT but idk how gaijin could balance it
Export model of the G but with access to minigun pods and 4x RB24J, and either RB05A or RB75
Next to the SK60C its my most wanted SAAB jet

YEAH i’d love that too, or the Sk 60F. But the info on that is limited. Apparently, there were plans of implementing an IRSL or IRST for the F too

I’d recommend putting some performance specifications (at least the armament) for those unfamiliar with the SK60B
I mean decent rear-aspect missiles and Mavericks on a subsonic, that’s really not anything you couldn’t see around 9.x in both air and ground battles. Basically an Ayit minus flares.

An Ayit with 4x RB24J missiles lol, it could probably be 9.7 or 9.3, no internal guns, poor flight performance, slow acceleration. Shouldn’t be the same BR as the Harrier but at 9.3 it would be a menace in a downtier
would be an awesome vehicle for 9.3 setup

For ground it could probably stay 9.3 slightly better a2a mix with CAS but no flares makes it food for any SPAA
meh, flares don’t work for most ir missile spaa’s either way
Depends ive had my Type 93 miss jets flying in a straight line and then ive had them turn into IRIS-T missiles and hit a target taking a 12G turn and spinning lol.
Sometimes its nice to have flares to save yourself from a very unpredictable stinger lol

Thank you for making this suggestion.

Yeah I’d agree, I’d think it’d be higher BR in GRB than ARB. Like 9.3 and 9.7. Mavs outrange most SPAA at the BR, and for comparison the Ayit is 10.0 in GRB
The Ayit is 10.0 because it has climb rate and flares to go along with those Mavericks.
4km lock target range is a lot stronger when it’s from directly above.
More Sk-60s can never hurt, +1!

The Sk 60F also had countermeasures. Similar to the AJ-37 except it’s more flushed in the wing instead of being in a pod. Sk 60F also used similar ordinances to the AJ-37 as well.
I don’t think that the XT would get RB24J if it was added due to balancing reasons and the G would be able to use AGM’s but weren’t added. Though I’m fine if the XT gets Miniguns and 4 AAM’s so to make it different from the G variant. The Swedes never used the Minigun gunpods in their service anyways. Most likely intended for Venezuela since I know that they were interested in the SAAB-105 and J-35 at one point
As for the Sk 60C +1, would be especially interesting if Planes can scout. Though the suggestion is missing some armament loadouts such as the bombs and I could be wrong but the Sk-60’s should be able to 12.7mm gunpods

Yes, I even think the Sk 60F had flushed BOL-like pods like the later viggens.

Thank you, I’d also like different armament, even if it’s just a little difference. Wikipedia states that the sk 60’s could carry 120kg bombs, but its impossible to find primary sources or pictures stating if that is true or not. Regarding the gunpods: I don’t know/think the Sk 60C was able to carry anything else than the 30mm in terms of guns. Yes, Sweden did have 12.7mm pods, but those were mounted sideways on helicopters (Hkp 9 I think). But in terms of planes, it probably could work on the Sk 60C, since the MFI 9 and 15 could carry the 12.7 I think.
If the Sk 60C(w) gets added, I really hope they find some (more) unique armaments for it. But again, thanks for your reply!

I mainly got that info from reading the stats for the weapon loads of the Sk-60B & C back when the Swedish TT is mere no more than a suggestion on the old forum. Some other websites state that it can carry the 12.7’s and 250kg bombs. I’ll see if anything pops up in regards to the Sk-60C’s (and Saab 105’s in general) loadout
