Let me ask you this: what would you do if the gripen got the changes you so wish for, but gaijin modeled them in such a way that the benefits you would get from them are either marginal or just non existent?
What if the gripen got the extended wings, but at the same time the wing loading gets higher and so does the overall weight, canceling out the benefits you would get from larger wing area?
The same thing happened to the J-10C; it got the new engine, but gaijin not only did randomly increase the channel loss, but also increased the weight of the aircraft and increased the fuel consumption, making the potential gain marginal at best.
Lastly, even on release the gripen E was already superior than the J-10C in everything but number of missiles and quality of said missiles. This has not changed in any capacity
It released undertiered in air RB and is now perfectly fine at 14.3.
So lets not go full Sweden suffers mode.
Also saying that the J-10C didn’t need changes is also peak comedy. I have actually played it on live and I’d much rather be in a Gripen E any day of the week, the Gripen E is much easier to play.
I dont really see where a J10C would be more fun to play than a Gripen E that 1. has way more CMs and 2. can stay in a notch while guiding its missiles through DL and 3. the Gripen E was able to bully 13.0 not too long ago with all this lol
Talking about the J10C (or J10s in general lets put it like that) are there BOL pods irl for them? Or is it again a case of EW and ECM stuff that we wont see for years probably
