Hi!
In General, Sweden lacks a toptier prmnium jet with good cas cababilities. (Guided Bobs/Fire forget missel). Evrey Nation has one (Exept Italy, France:

  • US: F/A 18C Early

  • Germany: F/A 18C Early Swiss

  • Russia: Su30mK2, Su-39

  • Great Britan: CF18A, Harrier T.10

  • Japan:F2A ADTW

  • China: Su30Mkk, JH7A

  • Italy and France have nothing

  • Israel: Netz (Mod)

As we see, Italy, France and Sweden has no prmnium toptier jet with cas loedout. This is bad, becouse there might be some players, who grinded a Air TT and have Air skills, but mostly play Ground, they will want to have some CAS plane too, and mybe the want to buy a plane, but oops, sweden italy and france has nothing. So back to sweden, i suggest that gajin add the Gripen B (JAS39B) for sweden as a premnium fighter. The only thing is, that new players will buy it, but, 1) it has no guns, not the best base bombing (maybe idk) . But i think player will want to buy the Saab J35XS as youtubers say it the only plane u need to grind sweden. Do you think this is necessery? Or is there a better cas plane for sweden?

2

your idea of cas is just launching AGMs to enemy from 10 15 km away

3

Lol no, besides the Gripen B has no internal gun and worse flight performance i cant see it being added due to balance problems.

4

maybe adding a strike aircraft?

5

should i take my bombs, stay ultra low, drop my bombs somewere becouse i dont no were the enmey cos i need to stay low to not get sniped by a IRST or BUK and tho nothing to the Team? Is this what u recomend?

6

lmaooo Germanys option is a premium?

7

Would you like to list some strike aircraft that would offer a good selection of weapons that isn’t the Gripen?

Cause the Gripen B would still go to 13.7 since it has Fox 3

8

Aren’t all his listings premiums since that was his point? Maybe im dumb but idg what you mean

9

Most of these have bombs and rocket pods.

I think this complaint about Sweden lacking a CAS aircraft after 9.0 should be addressed to the Försvarsmakten, not to Gaijin… ;-)

11

Not really gaijin could fix a lot of the more poor early jets after 9.x or into 10.x by actually adding swedish weapons

Or adding Norsk or Dansk equipment hell our F100’s and even our starfighters were modified with a focus of CAS in mind. Its not a sweden problem as much as it is a problem with gaijin ignoring swedish equipment or other Nordic aircraft that fill that role.

Who says they won’t? We already got the F-35 which look quite ok as ground pounder.

But I was specifically talking about Sweden itself. = )

13

F-35 WDNS looks okay until you see its 10.7 in ground making it worthless additionally its still borked to hell, lacking the missiles it used irl and still lacks a lot of its CM’s

we should get the F-35 at 9.3

Or get the SAAB 105XT which is a swedish vehicle

105XT can have upwards of 4x RB24J or even use RB75 (AGM65A) no flares though so probably hard to balance

14

Only 2 of the rank 7 vehicles have CAS that work at their BR rank 6 is basically worthless if SPAA is up.

Could fix that with adding the rest of Swedens actual CAS equipment

Or the F-35

PRE WDNS this adds Bullpups

Normalize making premiums worse at same br

16

I think prems should be worse or equal as TT that way you aren’t missing out on something

But the Gripen B likely wouldn’t be 13.7

17

This is what sweden neads

18

Look, I am not an Airplayer, grinding to rank IV is easy, but higer its to long and difficult . i am willing to spend a 80$ plane for cas.

Realistically for CAS the F-35 WDNS is the best jet for that. Its not great for its BR given its slow and underarmed and artificially held back but its the only jet that does CAS well but its also not a premium jet the A32 is terrible at CAS and dogfighting for its BR so its not worth buying, hell the A32A only got a BR decrease after the prem came out because gaijin wasn’t getting anyone to play it before the prem dropped and they weren’t getting any money

The SAAB 105 (TT not prem) is a okay base bomber but not prem so again its rough. Best bet is either using the F-35 WDNS or waitinh if you’re dead set on base bombing
