In regards to the clip with the Maverick attacking an invisible target - it was a bug where ground vehicles weren't rendering in properly, and was patched after I recorded the footage for this review. I knew about the bug, and was checking the missile view to make sure it was still tracking. Game-breaking bug for CAS, but it was fixed somewhat promptly.

When I went outside today, I've seen 3 Gripens of ours cruising above my city in formation. Magnificent.

Love the statcard screenshots at 3:00!

At 9:40 I wish they added a way for you to easily angle the canards near 90 degrees like the Gripen actually does when landing.

Just a Heads-up: R-Darter is actually better than AIM120 in almost EVERYWAY, However it is still the Worst FOX3 missile in top tier. "How?" Just because of 1 stat which is the lofting angle. R-Darter has a Lofting angle of a Whopping 35°. That in turns makes the missile lofts waaay too high towards the stratosphere, losing ALL of it's energy in the process

(In comparison, Aim120 and other Fox 3s only has 5-7.5° of lofting angle)

Ah, excellent timing, precisely the type of content I need at the gym

Brazil's is actually the F39E Gripen (based on the E variant) we do not have or had the C variant.

[MrUSAviation]

Interesting jet, hope to see one in real life sometime!

[guilhermevitorio]

Dont forget the JAS39C will now get 2 stock Amraams for the hungarian and sweedish ones and r-darters for the south African one in the br update!

[solvdev]

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Tim.

[CPUfy]

Thanks for another high quality review!

Gaijin must have hired hackers to bug your computer to see when youre uploading Tim 😭

[ODGreenZa]

We're still using the C and D variant here in south africa

[kampfsau]

"Surprisinly resistent" is putting it mildly i have seen this thing fly with both wings lost only retaining one of its canards and maybe its rudder flying along like nothing happened to it. done it one or two times myself. sometimes the damage model seems a bit of.

6:00 As someone who has been playing the gripen since it was added, I can confidently say that it's been OP the entire time.
Also, if I correctly recall, they haven't buffed it once but have nerfed it was it 5 or 6 times now. Just shows how insane it was on launch I guess.

[Taxxxic]

Swedish vehicles are just insane at top tier.

And that 4x RB99 kill streak was sexy af

[ImHellaToxic]

This was an awesome review! I just unlocked the JAS39EBS HU C for Italy and man that made the painful grind so much more worth it! I'm just struggling with BVR in this thing as American jets are already pinging my RWR before my TWS even acknowledges their presence lol

Whats cool about the Brazillian Gripen, is that it has a big 20" display on the cockpit instead of three screens for each function, its cool asf Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Babe wake up, tim uploaded a new video

[gabrielabreu]

Brazilian designation F-39 E is a Jas 39 E Gripen, brazil never used Jas 39 Cs.
