What are the chances that Gripen E will appear in the next update?

There is literally no reason not to add it now. I know they are going to add a new F-18 with HMD and A2G but I don’t want to grind another 400k rp just to grind a copy paste. The Gripen is an iconic and unique Swedish aircraft, it deserves a new competitive version in 14.0 more than the F-18.

You already made a thread about it. Do not keep making more threads.

Hopefully, is not much work and at the same time not only Sweden can get it, is likely a good chance to introduce more nations to the game.

What nations can get it? Asides from Sweden are Thai 39Es but I don’t think those are delivered yet

5

why is this an issue?

6

So Gaijin can copy paste and thus have it implemented sooner?

7

I believe brazil is the only other nation that you didnt mention

8

How different is E compared to C?

9

very different

Whole new aircraft. AESA-RADAR, 9 missiles instead of 6 (7 fox 3) ai and a lot more. It’s pretty much as advanced as an F-35 but less stealthy.

And a better engine iirc

Pls no, im begging gaijin to not screw the E up. Just add the NG. When the E gets added it will probably go to the US or Italy via Brazil depending on who cries louder and the Gripen E for Thailand. At least with the NG its more unique than the E. Completely different rear wing design and no EW system so its a bit lighter.

The E specializes in EW, we dont need the E to be added without its main ability. The NG can also allow for a gap between later missiles and eventual EW while also being the only unique Gripen. (The A doesn’t count since all the Gripen C and As are the same because gaijin doesn’t care about the Gripen and never have.)

I agree with @Pheonix_RX01
The Gripen E’s identity is centered around avionics and mechanics that aren’t in the game yet. It would just play the exact same as the other Gripens but with more Fox 3s and at a higher BR.

just add it without all the systems

Then we might as well add the F-35 at 13.0 without stealth and any of the tech it utilizes.

Mate, they will just Copy-Paste the Grippen C and give it more missiles. Obviously you played Sweden, so you know that Gaijin doesn’t care about Sweden. I mean, they screwed Sweden out of the Hornet by gutting it and saying, “well, it’s what Finland first had!” meanwhile they gave American three variants and buffed them.
