Looks like we’re not missing out on the JDAM party after all (subject to change incase I get the rug pulled from me haha).

Cool. Couldn’t have given Gripens glide bombs to actually pad out the number of strikes the thing could conduct. Guess only China’s allowed glide bombs. It is nice and all that it gets JDAMs, but really doesn’t help it all that much in a strike sense. At least gbu 39s would have given it a number of strikes, and helped cover off the lacking bit of the aircraft.
Realised this sounds far more petulant than intended, but at the same time I am pretty miffed so just going to leave it with this acknowledgement.
I assume the DSU-33 proximity fuze on the GBU-31 is just a modelling error and not indicative of new features?
Didn’t test that but could very well be a modelling error. I’ll check it out after I’ve walked my dogs :).

Kinda hard to tell but it might actually be air bursting a meter or so off the ground. I’ll see if I can ask someone.
So that still leaves only germany without GPS guided bombs then?
Doesn’t appear to be any on German aircraft, take the ASSAT1 couldn’t use them?
Without the ASSTA3 with GBU-54 LJDAMs, seems there isnt anything. HOSBO glide bombs would have been possible which can be GPS guided

Im no Gaijin, but dont expect anything any time soon.

As per
https://ndiastorage.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ndia/2006/fuze/balk.pdf#page=4
The HOB for the DSU-33 should be between 5~35 feet (1.5~10 meters), and Battery life is 200 seconds.
(JDAM’s initial spec for battery life was for 60 seconds, but was found to be exceeding 90 during developmental testing, Later configurations may have improved this further).
Could the Griffen C carry JDAM-ER ??
The Gripen was at least tested with them, though I don’t know if the South Africa picked it an an option.
I mean all the SA gripen ever used in service, at least as far as I know, is dumb bombs, Iris-T, and tested A-Darter. Nothing else really, so what we have in game seems to be open to anything the aircraft is compatible and not what it’s country actually used.

NEED I hope its added for a GR7a or GR9 so its ready for Typhoon and austalian Hornet
They also had R-Darter integrated, but didn’t use it. Very similar with A-Darter though A-Darter isn’t used because they can’t make an adequate example, whereas R-Darter was deemed noncompetitive and work started on the replacement missile Marlin.
