its not finished
Lets be honest. It’s not changing for live server.
The Dev server opened less than a week ago, if evidence is provided thats legal they will change it
it has longer range, and improved seeker. but by how much. idk. but its still in active use by many countries.
and the NG was what became the E, NG was the tech demo for the E and can do stuff the E cant.
Like fiering Brimstones.
me and some friends who researched it scoured everywhere for info on the Gripen A’s radar. and every source we found, wich wasnt many, said it is missing the component to guide the AIM-7. it literally cant guide the missile.
compared to meteor is nothing tho lol, just cheaper (i assume) and the american like it more
fair nuff, i aint got anything on it any Blue vixen buffs come from gunjob and flame and a few others

this is no guarantee, there’s still reports accepted from past dev servers that never got added.
F-5T Missing Armament (might’ve been accepted after Dev closed? not sure.)

Yeah fair, they try prioritise stuff from the update in fairness
These were all new in that update, and none of them have gotten the fixes!
yet it still got it :|
He already said that they will not recieve it unless Gaijin makes some last minute changes.
can you link that?
a bit up in this thread.
The simple and best solution to this “problem” is to give the JAS39A AIM-120Bs and increase the BR. That wouldn’t remove anything from the 13.7 pool. This would finally give Sweden its first 14.0 jet ever. (F-18C doesn’t count. It’s 14.0 on paper, but we all know it shouldn’t be there when it struggles against even 13.7’s thanks to the lack of any HMD)
The idea that giving AIM-120C-5s to the JAS39C would somehow create any BR spread problems is completely wrong. If you simply give the AIM-120B to the 39A, then there’s going to be absolutely no change whatsoever. 39A finally gets its historical loadout, 39C finally gets something to make it anything other than a renamed 39A with a historical loadout.
13.0 would have the JA37DI, 13.7 would have the JA39A, 14.0 would have the JA39C. Makes more sense than the current unhistorical mess, and wouldn’t leave any BR problems. Like, can’t Gaijin make one exception here? It’s for historical accuracy and balancing, if anything. We all know restricting the 39A to fly without AIM-120s isn’t historically accurate. And based on sources from SIPRI, Sweden did purchase AIM-120C-5s, including several pictures of 39Cs from many different nations carrying AIM-120C-5s on their gripens, proving that it can carry them. Why not add them for a plane that needs them most of all?

That removes the 39A from the 13.0 pool and moves it up two full brackets, a far greater effect than just moving the 39C up one bracket. Once 13.0 isn’t the absolute worst bracket in the game as top tier moves up, the 39A is one of my favorite planes in the game, at least outside of the skyflashes being complete trash at the BR. It might just be me, but I much prefer fox-1s over fox-3s in playstyle.
Though this whole topic is kinda DOA considering it’s looking like the C-5 is basically just going to be another Aim-120A with a new skin. It was perfect when they started, actually giving the AMRAAM some HOBS like official documentation suggests, but now it’s just another 120. Hell, some have even wondered if it’ll be a worse missile than the 120A/B.
yes. but we still have the JA37DI at 13.0. with aim 120’s. so its not like we wont have a plane at that BR. and if you want to play with aim-7’s you can use the JA37D at 12.0 a decent BR for skyflash users.
and JAS 39A was IRL UNABLE to use or fire the aim-7, it was developed after the aim-120 enterered service, and the aim-7 was concidered obsolete, so the modification need to its radar to fire the aim-7 wasnt there. so on a historical standpoint it shoudnt have aim-7’s either. but atleast one of gripens Prototypes (proto 39-3, 3:d prototype) maybe could have carried it (on the underside just below the engine is one AIM-7 on a stand). but its unclear.
but this is, as stated above, PROTOTYPE 39-3. and not a JAS 39A.
ye. shame what they did to it. like what documentation do they even go on to nerf it like this?

No idea. The 120C-5 looked legit good at first, where it would likely have been worse at long range but much better at close range, plus being harder to notch, but now they neutered all the improvements to the C-5 and it’s now basically identical to the A or B. Don’t know what they’re even thinking with all this. It should’ve been something for only the F-18s to get, but because people don’t know how to fly the F-15E it’s getting it to, and now the EF too for some reason.
The C-5 should’ve only gone to underpowered planes at their BR, the F-18 at top tier and maybe the Gripen at 13.7. It seems Gaijin realized that the EF with original C-5s was too strong, so they got neutered. Don’t know why Gaijin is still even bothering to add it to the game in this state. Maybe they’ll give it some slight improvements under the hood to make it better at HOBS, but it seems like it’s going to be the Aim-120A/B/C-5.
Also, I wasn’t really asking for Aim-7s. They would be nice, but Sweden never even bought them to my knowledge. Skyflashes are… okay enough. I just kinda wish you could mount BOL and skyflashes on the same pylon like the RB74(M)s or RB99s. They aren’t good, but they’re better than only having IR missiles.
If I’m not mistaken someone actually made a post about how it’s possible to mount BOL with Skyflash missiles.
If only Gaijin could implement it then.
