Same issue with the POBIT, it has the weight of the viper jamming suite and the new APG 83 radar but lacks all the benefits, Imagine hard locking all 6 missiles at ounce, or even getting data link for your missile’s from a teammates radar while you notch. We can only hope one day these aircraft will be fully implemented.
No literally the jet in game is a 2016 model from SAAB it’s not owned under FMV and doesn’t represent swedish Gripen Es, it shouldn’t have the later stats because it’s simply not that model or aircraft. It also has the different wing design which is smaller than the actual production model.
This is like saying the F16A should have the weight of the F16 PoBit but without any of the FM benefits
AFAIK the Girpen E in game is the same as the one with the jamming no?
No? It should be before ECM was fully integrated last I checked, I could be wrong but to my knowledge it still had to use a pod that boosts ECM to get anything as it didn’t have it yet.
This is basically the 2nd iteration of the Gripen E prototype model as it has the IRST but lacks the improved wing design. Essentially early MS21 block 1
@Timpun might know, I don’t keep up to date with the silly swedish aircraft as much, but I know more about it then the average player
Sorry i very well could be wrong, idk much abt the Gripen E in game compared to the IRL version.
as for the F16 this is what i was referring to
AN/ALQ-257 IVEWS
This basically shows a small timeline but the vehicle in game is a early model, basically a 2016 prototype that’s forced to have the weight of the newer model but without any benefits.
We have a old pre updated Gripen essentially but gaijin loves to implement nerfs without actually reading into a lot of these reports since the weight for the report specifically is for the new Gripen with the bigger wing and new electronics
We have one of the older jets at top tier when we technically talk modern stuff post 2010

Interesting
“Reasonable” xD. IRIS-T isn’t an ARH missile.
Yeah you’re high xD
“MICA should’ve been added… after we added things much better than it” 🫠
IRIS-T is one, but which is the other one? Derby-ER?
I stand by what I said. It’s currently an unbalanced mess. A Rafale has to be brain dead to lose to an F-15. I don’t think any one nation should have a clear advantage. Do you think air is balanced? Do you think ground is balanced?
Don’t you believe it should be?
The fact that most of the data on the next gen missiles is unknown and can’t be known by the general public is in fact a great advantage if you need to play with stats for balancing.
If you don’t care about balance you deserve the status quo.
The fact that you had to personally attack me proves that you don’t have much ground to stand on.
You could try and approach things with an open mind.
You also act like the company doesn’t do this all the time. “Why add more WWII vehicles? We already have top-tier”
oh so does R-73, they just dont wanna do it

This applies to almost every 14.7, the Rafale isn’t special
Not really unknown, just very hard to come by.
Wasn’t an attack, I was making an observation because no one would think that MICA should’ve been added after everything else and then you add this:
As if this has any correlation to the discussion at hand.
“eeuu getting Aim 120D” then blaming 120-C5, when the “D” has exactly the same performance in game or even worse.
It still has the large cannoes for pylon 1 with the large GaN antennas. Another thing is that Gaijin does not care which specific model it is, just like for the 39C. If it truly was that early model prototype then it should have no weapons at all. Also I think 6002 was only shown with the new wings like a year so ago but I could be wrong there. But since it is not shown as a specific version it could be any sort of amalgamation of versions just like the 39C so since it has the ability to carry weapons it should also have ESM/ECM/EA.
Well no, if we start going early back that far then we get the Demo which is this, even the earliest 6002 and other Gripens had weapons otherwise FMV wouldn’t have been able to do testing
