With the high possibility of Japan getting the F-2A in the next update, I hope Sweden gets something unique of their own (Hopefully not the F-18). No one plays Sweden for the F-18. Literally the Swedish Air tech tree is pretty much meaningless now if it doesn’t have any uniqueness.
F-16 & F-35 from Norway or Denmark, and that’s pretty much everything they can get down the road I think?
F-35 from Finland is basically guaranteed regardless of whether Norway can be used to pad out their air tree.
They have the Gripen E. At this point I don’t think there’s anything that would prevent them from adding it.
When the Finnish F-18 was added, and people were unhappy about the specific MLU chosen, wasn’t it outright said that the MLU with A2G stuff would be added later ?
Presumably that’s Swedens next thing.
We are angry because why do we have to grind 400k RP just to get HMD and A2G?. The reason is to maintain uniqueness instead of it being just copy paste. If they want to maintain uniqueness of Sweden nothing else but Gripen E will be that, no one plays Sweden for F-18, I would be happier if they completely remove F-18 from the tech tree and replace Gripen E
Thats understandable. I’m not necessarily saying I agree with how the snail has rolled out the Finnish F-18, IMO they should have just added the one with A2G from the get go, I was just answering your question as honestly as I could.
Sweden has plenty of non unique things already, another F-18 isn’t really changing anything.
We got screwed by gaijin twice. They made us grind 400k rp for Gripen’s Fox 3 and 400k rp for F-18’s A2G (which isn’t even feature rich for A2A since it lacks HMD). While everyone else just grinded for all of those things once. What’s even more infuriating is that they just give Gripen to everyone else with full features to fill up the tech tree until they get something new like Italy, UK and now Japan, everyone got their own unique thing but Sweden didn’t.
For a nation that uses Leopard 2 as its MBT thats rich statement.
The easiest for them to add would be the Finish F/A-18C MLU (and i’m guessing/hoping this is what is coming this update).
For the future they have the F-16’s and F-35’s from Finland/Norway/Denmark to fill out the tree with as well as the domestic JAS39 NG (Prototype testbed for the E version, lots of options for them to make this one a unique middle ground between C and E) and lastly the JAS39E.
I mean they said they intentionally made the Finnish F-18 weaker and we had to grind another 400k rp just to get a feature that the US could grind once and they justified it because it would make it unique and ironically they gave the Gripen with full features right away to other countries.
Welcome to the club i guess.
Gripen NG would make the most sense to get next
