Material System or MS, the only nation to not buy MS20 or the upgarde to the gripen C is SAAF. MS20 added a new radar, Meteor mounting and other improvements alongside the ability to use GBU-39 gaijin didn’t know about MS stuff so we have all gripens with MS17 radar from ealry JAS39A with GBU-39 from MS20 SAAF should be the only ones not able to use it as they lack that specifc upgrade. SAAB always shows when they make a deal with a nation to uograde to MS20 and SAAF hasn’t had the money to upgrade yet for some reason they can in game. The gripens are some of the most fictional vehicles in warthunder RN just like the F16AJ

Gripens should be called like:

•SAAF MS19 JAS 39C
•HUN MS20 JAS39C
Ect ect

Try and watch a MIGan Fox 3 video, he is really good at demonstrating tactics for counter-META tactics with jets like the Mirage 2000, J-10 and Gripen, he is working on a british gripen video right now iirc

At present, sweden operated only access GBU-39 SDB I on Gripen C/D and Gripen E/F (future)

Guided Air-to-Ground munitions on Thai Gripen C such as GBU-10 & GBU-12 Paveway II and Lizard III laser guided bomb

Brimmys suck so bad XD
I have yet to see someone get a kill with them. Every GR4 I see uses Paveway IVs or PGMs

I say the Thai MS20 should be able to use GBU-39 as unlike the SAAF version they actually can use it. Thanks to most of the uniformed saaf gripen bug reports gaijin doesmt even know about MS20 so we essentially have all gripens in game as Amalgamations instead of what they should be.

in the same time gaijin decided to add them like budget AGM 65. Idk what they were thinking…

yeah, ive seen a couple kills but that has only been at really short ranges and when the enemy are barely even on the map anymore, 9/10 its bomb tossing paveway 4s at pantsirs or PGM500s at tanks

True, the 7th is a workday here.

However I’m not sure if the relevant peoples are working from Budapest. The rumors says that only a few peoples is working in that office.

They weren’t thinking, just doing something random and running with it

If they can mount it they will get it, thats how it worked with the Mavericks and how gaijin will most likely deal with the Thai Gripen.

3946

sounds like a very gaijin thing to do

3947

Not how it’s worked with every top tier Israeli Jet

Realistically they should have modelled it like an air launched Spike/PARS with longer range until rhe game is ready for IIR/mmW radar

Id say for this case Israel probably has better CAS than the gripen Nations so that again a balancing choice. I dont make the rules nor do i agree with a lot of the rules.

3950

sometime im hopping for they add domestic stuff to minor nation than i remember 9 time out of 10 they butcher it and render it almost useless so i end up hopping for US armement.

3951

Not really, they lack any form of Fire and forget missile whereas Britain, italy and sweden had maverick slingers, or something better in that timeframe before gripen

The GR7 single handedly outshines every israeli CAS jet alone, and italy have their own Av-8b plus

True. Not sure about the others, but the Hungarian Gripen shouldconly carry AIM 9Ls as we never bought the 9Ms, but that is not the case ingame.

I’m not caught up on my dovah speak, which word of power is hidden in here?
