Heatblur: AJS-37 Viggen

Mmmslash
On a scale of 1 to 10, how offensive are the Swedish stereotypes presented in those voiced training missions?

I asked what the designation options for the Viggen were on a spectrum of A-10C (representative of a modern Gen IV fighter) and the Mirage (an early-ish, Gen IV kinda fighter bomber).

It has both CCIPish (and and actual CCIP mode for bombs with a drag chute) and CCRP modes. The targeting computer is quite advanced. Just the bombs can be released in 8 or so different modes.

Some additional updates in my trawling post.

So many choices, so little time when you come in just under the speed of sound!

All it needs now is a tape deck for me to play synthwave as I anger local Georgians with tree top level antics.

Getting the hell out of dodge at Mach snot, riding the nape of the earth, like a true survivor.

So after the nth rewatching of the trailer, I’m convinced when this comes out we need to have a Mudspike wall of RBS-15 event.

With F-14s “guarding” the ships.

Attacking a ship defended by fighters carrying 200km capable missiles with a missle that flies 75Km…

That’s a bold strategy cotton.

That’s a bomber if I’ve ever seen one. :wink:

If it’s barreling towards you at Mach Snot in a straight line over water, It could be the Stay Puffed Marshmallow man for all the AIM-54 cares. Heck an AA-9 could do that job without much a bother.

All twitch stream with additional AJS-37 movie

Did you see in the twitter responses Nick trolling Saab to make a Gripen? Great stuff!

I think I was 15 when I saw the ESCI 1/48th scale kit at my local hobby shop. Im now 52… It goes to show, never say Never. I cant wait to fly this… Forget the 50 bucks… Its the weekends immersed in the manual and weapon systems training that I worry about. I will disappear for a few months…

“trolling”

Hey, if they want to troll SAAB and the rest of us and make my favorite Euro-Canard delta, by all means…

The Viggen has got to be the least sexy looking aircraft when landing. The aft landing gear placement and the canards always make me think of a nun squatting. Thrust reverser remains awesome.
