Sure the M2K is good, but dominating?
Maybe dominating is a strong word depending on the team performance but MICA EM is absolutely a top tier meta defining missile right now with its 50G pull and TVC.
The point is France and China already have access to this next-gen tech on their 4th gen frames while Gripen E is stuck with underperfoming C5. Whether M2K is dominating or just good doesnt change the fact that Sweden is left behind in BVR capability.
Everyone thinks it would be OP
We have the swedish one, not the Brazilian one, and Derbys are not even better than AIM-120s, I have never seen anyone ask for them.

Muh BVR combat when everyone is just shooting them from 20.0km
Was this written with AI by chance?
Would be funny if they added these weapons to it once we got the 5th gen’s and it pushes it up just to be totally annihilated.
🤣
Sure if it moves at 14.7 while being the only jet with said armaments then it will have no issue, but who’s stopping the french, germans, italians and brits to ask for the same, that ain’t happening to be honest.
Yuh, im is hybrid russian ai on quantum computer+basic mathematics, u got me. Actually mostly used google translate to sound smart.
But seriously, your logic makes no sence. If Derbys are “not even better than AIM-120s” then why are you so against adding them? It literally proves my point that it wont break the game meta.
Also “we have the swedish one not brazilian” is completely ignoring how Gaijin balances minor trees. Sweden litteraly has finnish and norwegian vehicles, and the Gripen C in the swedish tree literally got its South African weapons. The F-39E is just a designation, its the same airframe.
If Derby is worse or equal to 120, give it to Sweden and move the jet to 14.7. Simple.
Gaijin by just not listening lol. They didnt give the Mig 29 R73s for years for balancing reasons.
What do you even mean by “so against them” I just said

Italy
My dude, the Swedish tt is literally home of the nordic nations in game, like how do you not get this?
Stealing this. Discord sticker
Exactly
13.7 - 14.7 as a whole bracket needs therapy.
Therapy?😅
Honestly it needs time in the SHU.
ARMs on a Gripen?
Good luck with Sweden being able to afford them lol ( same as the advanced Mavericks).
It’s still a really good aircraft and just because you struggle with gameplay doesn’t mean the base vehicle is bad.
Gripen E with those weapons would be 15.7.
Gripen E is already an amazing 14.3.
15.7.
A bit much, more like 15.0 tops.
Not exactly a wunderwaffe with 7 Meteors + 2 IRIS-T or a mix of AMRAAM+Meteor and IRIS-T’s.
There’s still 5th gen, which likely won’t push the max BR beyond 15.7
This guy just called M2K same gen as Rafale is crazy
they should give it the Derby missile (which is fully integrated into the Brazilian F-39 Gripen E)
Unless there’s proven integration into the base model we have ingame (I don’t believe it is, they just offer the option to have it integrated for foreign buyers), it won’t get it. Last I checked there’s one report up, but it uses the incorrect sources according to a comment on it.
Also, the R-Darter ≠ Derby. R-Darter is based on the Derby yes, but they’re not the same missile. The F-39E being able to use the R-Darter does NOT mean the Jas39E can use the Derby.
Burden of proof lies with you.
