JAS39 Gripen NEW BEST Top Tier Fighter? | War Thunder Update: Air Superiority

Girlfriend? Sorry man gonna have to revoke your war thunder account

the best part is that the room for expansion with this plane is insane. You can get the AMRAAM, potentially(or eventually) the IRIS-T and Meteor. There are glide bombs and quite a good bit more of stuff that the Gripen could potentially have added to it. It really is an insane aircraft

That top-down missile spam triple kill was amazing.

Congratulations! Your J-7E evolved into JAS-39A! The pokedex is now complete.

just one thing about the spotting with the targeting pod that you mention at 7:40, that was a thing when the f14B was dropped. i exploited that heavily for my team in spotting the enemy from like 20km out which honestly always won me games cause ppl knew where everyone is. and at the same time if your hunting for the last guy and cant find him you basically have 20km line of sight in any direction to find them lmao.

People REALLY discount the design of aircraft over their thrust. Yes, the Gripen lacks thrust, but the way its designed and controls it's self is what gives it such great performance. It's why I was saying, despite what everyone else was, that this thing would still be a good fighter. Even the A and C, not just the E. Design matters so much more than people really realize. So this things performance is absolutely no surprise to me. Yeah, its a delta wing, but its a delta wing with massive, moveable canards on a ridiculously light airframe that's also incredibly aerodynamic (much less drag than one would think). So glad they didn't neuter it (tho it is probably still slightly over performing). Also I couldn't place it before but the way you talk and sound reminds me a lot of LevelCap, just with a deeper voice.

6:20 Oh my god that was criminal what u and Joob did, props guys

You are absolutely right. It feels like I'm flying the J7E. Definitely the plane of patch for me.

Gripen my beloved

although I'm not a sweden main, it's pretty cool to see them get something nice. same goes for britain aswell.

7:08 heard that C is bit heavier, but it's like flying F-16A/ADF/AJ - you need to 1v1 in perfect conditions to notice weight difference

the "orbital strike" how you call it, is the best anti-meta meta lol. Been doing it ever since I grinded through the US tech tree with the TRAM, and the introduction of the 16C with the 9Ms took it to the next level.

we need a rework of top tier Air RB. 16v16 furball clusterfucks are not enjoyable, specially not with fourth gen aircraft. We need more airfields, smaller teams, spread objectives across the map, and maybe even implement EC for Air RB. Otherwise we will be forever stuck with the furballs. Currently there's no space for BVR or dogfights, and that's sad.

I really wish they were able to make the canards work properly, it hurts me to see the 3D model of the canards forcing your nose down every time you pull up/bank.

In the recent patch the ammo count on the Gripen was lowered from 512 rounds to 120 rounds, still great in a dogfight, but it feels like you need to be conservative with ammo in order to secure gun kills, other than that, looks very nice.

Seems like they nerfed it just a few days after this video, a shame. Question is, how much does it impact the overall performance?

Mean while back in rank 5 and 6. The bottom feeders grind profusely in hopes to finally get to that plateau when they can dream no further and can finally handle a top tier jet such as this one. Just 6 more months of hard grinding ... keep the faith slick you can do it -_-

The mixed countermeausres with 700 is shit icl ill be dumping flares then all of a sudden theres like 40 chaff in a row coming out needs a sepreate bind

I unlocked the 39c tonight and I am loving it. The nose authority is insane, it just pulls and pulls.

So you talking about a new tactics?! I have a question, so you climb high altitude in side of the map and you will not eating phoenixes?🤔
