We are seeing for quite some time the limitation of War Thunder gameplay/missions. Wouldn’t it be great if we had more dynamic matches that would have different objectives so you could play planes the way they were meant to. Mosh pit pvp is not good for top tier.

This limitations been known for half a decade, many gamemodes were made to fix it yet Gaijin doesnt want to keep them around due to "server" limitations. Even though the gamemodes worked perfectly fine and scaled perfectly fine.

[@cairok2097]

You mentioned how the AJS has the same engine as the AJ and that it gets less thrust than the JA variants. That is true but in War Thunder gaijin completely messed up the viggen engines. Even though the AJS has the same engine as the AJ (the RM-8A), it produces the same amount of thrust as the RM-8B engine on the JA variants. So currently the AJS37 ingame is as fast as the JA37D. But this is not caused due to the AJS having the wrong engine thrust, in fact, it is the only viggen with the correct engine power. And the JA variants should have slightly over 1000kgf more thrust according to every single source about the RM-8B engine. The thrust numbers for the JA variants ingame are completely made up by gaijin and can't be found elsewhere. I don't know how its even possible to screw up this bad. Not only is the thrust wrong on the 3 Viggens, but the top speed is also wrong on all 4 of them and there is a whole video talking about gaijins miscalculation that has gone ignored by gaijin for almost 2 years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2LTZ4SGq66Zoqc

[@I___Jackal___I]

In addition, the loadout is wrong. It misses the AP and HE rockets. These are two different rockets. Also, they are missing the RB75T with the bigger warhead. And don't get me started on not having the BK90. I love my Viggen in WT and DCS. But in WT, it does not fit well in the BR and does not play like it should be - a pre-planned mission striking deep behind enemy territory and taking off from road bases.

4:42, the F-14 didn't crash on purpose, the F-4S actually killed him before, his plane just went on flying. Also they could just remove the AIM-9Ls from the AJS and put it to 10.3 as a tradeoff to the regular AJ with a heavier airframe but the abillity to carry AIM-9Js with it's ordinance.

I already knew this plane was going to be shit before it even hit main servers. Gaijin is doing Sweden dirty. The gripen was made when the f16 and mig29 were produced but it's not in the game yet. They will probably add the gripen when the f15 comes out making it basically like the viggen where it was outmatched by everything at 12.0

[@spray916]

This viggen at 11.3 is the same BR as rhe MiG 27K and Mirage 2000D. Tbh 2000D at 11.3 is still criminal. EDIT: The worst part? YOU NEED THIS NOW TO GET TK RANK VIII SWEDEN. YOU LITERALLY NEED EVERY AIRCRAFT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THEY'VE DONE THIS. ON THE DEV FOR JA-37D YOU NEEDED 2 AIRCRAFT! Malding. Coping. Seething.

[@botneil4510]

Might be a stretch, but the state of missiles right now (9/10 times zero smoke trail and sometimes the diamond doesnt even appear - yes, while the missile is burning) is obviously painfull, but hear me out. The patch got delayed to drop after the economy roadmap for various reasons, which means the devs got to work on the next update (maybe i'm overestimating gaijins work ethic but why not for the sake of the argument). We've all seen that gaijin's coding can be... dubious... when implementing new mechanics, even though you would think said mechanics would be, lets say "isolated" (UDES 33 april fools Spike incident - 1.April 2021 god rest those poor souls). If we then add the addition of the Pythons to the equation, an objectively better missile than the 9L's, it would make sense for gaijin's next step to be adding a counter - the next step in the Sidewinder family - the 9M. Which has one main advantage over the Lima ----- A smokeless motor. Or rather a smoke-->less, low-smoke motor. ((plus better flare discrimination etc etc etc.)) This all but confirms the 9M for the next uppdate, with pooooosibly the additon of the hornet or the eagle, or am I stretching it too far now. Either way thanks for attending my drunken Ted Talk conspiracy theory which defenitly 100% proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the 9M will come in the next patch. -Nostradamus.

I think the main issue with this plane (besides not having all the armament options it had IRL) is that it just doesn't fit in War Thunders matches. Enduring confrontation if they ever worked on that and made it more dynamic would be fire for this. Just air/ground RB? No, isssa shit

[@WarguyPlayz]

I really love the Viggens but dam the AJS is just miserable to play. Luckily the next planes that can be added, JAS 39 Gripen and Finnish F-18Cs, will have better CAS abilities. I am of the belief we aren't too far away from seeing these aircraft in the game. When the time comes we will be seeing F-16s and F-18s running around every NATO/Western nation tree for premium aircraft. With that, Sweden will get more CAS ability from the Danish and/or Norwegian F-16s as either premiums or whole additions to the main tech tree.

[@Jake-dh9qk]

It's so stupid how gaijin decided to copy and paste a bunch of F-16s to China, Italy and Japan but decided to skip Sweden even though they were truly the only one lacking in a useable CAS

For all intensive purposes we wont be getting an improvement to CAS till new modern planes are added. Till then all we can do is hope.

The only reason I say the kafir is fine at 11.0 is because you get guns and can carry more while the viggen is a suffer wagon that doesn't even have internal guns the draw backs of the viggen justify a br of 10.7 especially since basically every American aircraft from 9.7+ gets either some flears or a entire airforces worth of flears *cough* a-10 *cough* av-8a *cough*
