Gripen on dev has exactly the thrust it should have.
Even if drag increases slightly [which it should since its at its supercruise speed] it’d still be meta.
With the Su-27 and F-15 added, it is only a matter of time. Though they are already moaning about facing Euro Deltas, Aircraft like the Gripen E, Rafale and Typhoon are going to completely destroy the notion that the US and USSR are superior. As a result, we have to wait for them to get stuff 10 years newer than the Typhoon before those can be added to make it fair.
Just hope that we get it in the same update that the US and USSR get ahead and not a year afterwards like we’ve seen for Sweden and UK this year.
At the rate of upgrades for US and USSR last year, and the amount of moaning from US mains this update so far. I give it 3-6 months for US and USSR to be at the point where advanced euro deltas can be added.
The question remains though… How long will we have to wait after that point?
