JAS39A from Stock to The Best

JAS39A Gripen is quickly becoming my favourite plane.

It can carry up to 720 FLARES. Air Superiority update introduced more opponents with IRCCM and this unholy amount of countermeasures makes life so much easier.

Gripen has extreme flight performance overall. Good energy retention, absurd instantaneous turn on 600-800 kph and decent engine. As a bonus Gripen doesn't consume a lot of fuel, so flying with minimal load and a drop tank is definitely possible on smaller maps.

Unfortunately JAS39A can only carry Skyflash FOX-1s, meaning it's not competitive in that regard. RB74(M) paired with HMD behaves as expected - annihilates everything it can reach. In my experience 27mm cannon has random damage and rarely destroys opponents outright.

Loadout:
Min. Fuel + Drop tank
RB-74(M) x6
Air Belts, Flares Only or Mixed
