Here is a tip, don't use gun convergence, and trust me, lead the gun a lot more that you would think, I've been getting 3 kill games with just the gun.
@@BufferThunder I use gun convergence on almost everything, but this is one of the few planes that I don’t. Not sure why it makes such a difference, but it definitely does.
The XS is my most flown plane and I have to say you can absolutely carry your own weight in this thing. To those out there just note if you stall out or pull to hard sub ~300ish kph and dump your speed you can flat spin even in RB, which is tricky to recover from.
@@norske_ow3440 Even with the airbrake its a dice roll if it actually gets you pointed in the right direction. Atleast in my experience, which doesnt mean much and is anecdotal
@@Padgeot right, I just meant to hopefully avoid the irreversible death spin. still does a bunch of flopping around and if you arent high enough youre dead anyway
hey thats a nice outro man lol video 3 before f15 the gripen i'm so excited for i hope britain gets one, but the 35 will always be the best kite. it's like. disturbingly fast as well i never expect it to be so quick if only it had more flares
I haven't played the old flight model of the J35D but I sapaded it from stock a few days ago and really enjoyed it. The compression at high speeds you complain about is a blessing imo, because it allows you to rate fight almost everything. Very useful when fighting multiple opponents and you can't afford to dump speed to kill just one of them. Lack of flares obviously sucks, but wasn't that much of an issue, most of my deaths I never even saw the missile coming so flares wouldn't have helped anyway. I'm not the best player, but managed a 3:1 K/D with the plane which is slightly above average for me. Overall good plane at 10.3.
One of the better Rank 7 premiums in the game. Haven’t had a huge reason to use it since I finished Viggen grind so I’m looking forward to needing it again. Also F-15 reveal tomorrow RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!(probably) Edit: ITS HERE TODAY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I had all the JA37D, AJ37, AJS37 MIG21 semispaded with only half a modification left at each rank so I could get the bonus and get gripen super quickly except gaijin decided to reduce the rp cost on them all and now they are all spades and I won’t be able to get any bonus. All I have is a bunch of boosters saved form battle pass :(
Tbh Sweden needs a new rank top tier premium, something that’s great at overall grinding like a base bomber or sorts. (But tbf if you carry 2 missiles and fully rocket payload and farm bases you are guaranteed 5K RP depending on the Matckmaking.)
I’m at the point now where, why grind planes like the Flanker and the Gripen when I can shoot them down in my shiny new F-15. Most planes up until now I really didn’t care about. But now that we’ve reached modern jets I recognize all of them and think they are cool. But I just don’t have the time, energy, or money to grind out whole trees for singular planes. But I still can’t wait for them to come. I can’t wait to have to climb straight up to evade a gripen on my tail, because my thrust to weight is the only advantage I’ll have in that scenario. And I can’t wait for a flanker to try a cobra on me because that’s the only thing they can do to try to avoid my guns.
While this is an amazing jet the amount of people spamming the thing right now is insane, can't even finish half your dogfights with them cus they'll all just crash half way through
Just a side note, in sim the J35xs is an absolute monster and easily dogs on Mig23s, i honestly get excited when i see one cause i know it's an easy kill.
I just bought this the past week or so and I swear it said the battle rating was 10.7 and now it’s at 11.3, I keep getting up tiers with this and getting obliterated the first few minutes from miles away, I hope they really lower this or add all aspect missiles / more counter measures I was pretty excited because I’m almost top tier in ground but now im disappointed.
i feel so bad for you I bought it a few weeks before the battle rating changes. I was actually really doing it but now its hell using it. Unfortunately you will have to hope its BR is lowered.
@@oisinmurphy8747 it was really good at its original BR but now I don’t usually last more than 5 minutes, if it was given larger ammunition amount and/or all aspect missiles it would stand a little more of a chance but now it’s pretty much useless
Is it possible to destroy a base using the Draken's HE rockets? I did the math and it doesnt seem like enough TNT to destroy a base, only around 86kg of TNT. I'm not sure if rockets deal damage to bases differently from bombs though.

Got some pretty good buffs, but man 1 gun with 120 rounds and no traces is pain
Being offset to one side quite far is a nice cherry on top. At least once you do find a hit, whatever you hit goes down.
The reason it dosnt have any tracers is because it had radar aim which for some reason aint on the draken in war thunder

This has now been patched
I used mine, and was consistently facing 11.3 was highly unfortunate
Lee managed to sneak in the daily schizo F-15 in a video about Draken and Gripen. Good job Lee
ALWAYS
@@GeneralLee2000and was right
Perma fighting ML MLA MLD and F4S makes me want to do unspeakable things

Because of the missiles you can get a pretty crazy kd in this jet, especially because of the down tiers 5 to 6k,s aren’t very rare

This video has not aged well with the BR changes this plane received.
The gun bug is so frustrating, there have been so many instances where I’ve been 3rd partied trying to finish off a guy that I got 3 hits on
Just a side note, in sim the J35xs is an absolute monster and easily dogs on Mig23s, i honestly get excited when i see one cause i know it's an easy kill.
Dammit I can’t just snap my wings anymore
So angy
GRIPEEEEN
No RWR, 6 flares? Pass. F-15 and SU-27 will be more than enough for me.
Its painful but the gripen is worth it imo
5 months later and we got tracers baby 🥳

The new flight model indeed is sad, used to be my favorite plane. (J35d because im broke)
lee riding that hype train all the way
it makes me so angry that the only draken with flares they could add is a premium.
Wait till he finds out the F-15 is coming 😂
Finally Lee can rest at ease.
Holy shit that aim dude !!! 6:48
True!!!

I can confirm it is possible if you bring all of the rockets. You still get 2 AAMs which is sick.
Why can someone drop one flare and make my missile go the opposite direction in this plane
F15 is official sir 😂
Isn’t the Draken supposed to have an EEGS that Gaijin just hasn’t modelled?
F15c in the new update! Yipee
Waiting till Christmas sale myself
Only the real ones are still using the J35A 😢

Nice...grind...too bad we are only getting the A variant whilst the UK is getting the C....for some reason.
how do you have all these extra icons/fonts on some enemys on a large range?
The range at which enemies are detected is dependent on crew skill, he probably has an ace crew.

Bro WHERE IS F-15 VIDEO??? You should've been the first one to post it!
Youre using instructor mode
When this may come to game? I meen f15, grippen and others?
This update! Teaser tomorrow.
Soon.
@@GeneralLee2000 That's meen very soon. Good

Sorry again for the kill steal
kfir canard is a lot nicer
So tired of running into these. They buffed the RB24J to insane degrees. Thing has R-73 levels of flare resistance.
You’re kidding right one flare and it’s gone
How do you lock them?
Well that intro aged poorly lol, later the same day the gripen was in the trailer so I think that's "confirmed"
Here to stop kids from saying first
Dude I ate a burger once, have a good day
Congrats
Wassup lee? (I'm late, sorry)

Gripen A is coming. Gripen C was a lie
Gripen C is coming too, but for UK
@@K.Gottlos Its Joever for Sweden mains
Gripen? Nice joke, get ready for a 5th Viggen a whole pointless br above the last one.
man this thing sucks
Teaser tomorrow? (EAAAAGGGLLLEE!!)
