SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen, jet fighter, Sweden, VII rank.
Pros
- Very high max speed and climb rate
- Outstanding maneuverability
- Advanced air-to-air missiles
Cons
- Limited ground strike abilities
The requirements for a new aircraft with very high performance to replace the SAAB 35 Draken emerged in the early 1960s. In 1962, the design team of the SAAB company prepared a draft design of the SAAB 37 aircraft, built according to an exotic double delta wing. The project seemed interesting for military authorities , and SAAB received funding to fully develop a new fighter in four basic configurations. The last and most advanced version was the SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen fighter-interceptor, the development of which continued until the mid-1970s, which was associated with the improvement of the engine and the development of modern electronic equipment. The first flight of the experimental JA37 interceptor fighter took place in June 1974, and in 1979 the fighter began to be supplied for service. Until 1990, 149 JA37 Jaktviggen units were produced. The specific appearance made the aircraft of the J37 family a “calling card” of the Royal Swedish Air Force for a long time.
In the next big War Thunder update “Direct Hit”, SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen will become the new top tier Swedish fighter aircraft at rank VII, after J35D Draken. The flight qualities of the new fighter can really surprise - with a maximum speed of more than Mach 1,8 and a truly rocket-like rate of climb (about 200 meters per second), the JA37 is superbly controlled over the entire range of altitudes and speeds! The fighter's unusual airframe design, efficient flaps and air brakes allow her to make quick turns with very good roll speed. The maneuverability of the JA37 can be compared to the maneuverability of a good piston fighter - only at supersonic speeds!
The JA37 version was developed to fulfill the tasks of a fighter-interceptor, so the main emphasis in the weapons list is placed on those for destroying air targets. There is a good rapid-firing 30-mm cannon on board, albeit with a small amount of ammunition. Among the guided weapons there are already familiar to Swedish pilots RB24 and RB24J air-to-air missiles with infrared seeker, as well as a completely new RB71 with radar guidance, a huge launch range and G-tolerance of about 30G. As for ground targets, Jaktviggen can take only m/70 rockets. Being very good at destroying tanks, these rockets however require an accurate hit.
To speed up the research of the new Swedish top-tier jet fighter, our store is opening a pre-order for the premium J35A Draken fighter. It significantly speeds up the research of any Swedish aircraft - definitely an excellent choice forall fans of Swedish aviation!

Just an update to this blog before the release of the major update: Thanks to the thorough and detailed reports submitted by players, we have now had the necessary information needed to introduce countermeasures to the Viggen, also changing its classification to JA 37C, to detail the exact modification of the aircraft that will arrive in "Direct Hit". Thank you again to those of you that submitted your sources and information!
>no countermeasures that's it, that's it, i'm outta here
You know they said the same thing about the MiG-21Bis, and then on release it got flare+chaff pods, right?
BeautifulTai_wan, Just hope someone will find a good source and show them
Awsome, so excited! Just a little confused why the devs decided to leave off the BOZ-100 Chaff/Flare pod the Viggen carried. I understand leaving out it's ECM but ignoring basic countermeasures at top teir??
And yet, surprisingly, the F-5E has flairs ... Typical double standard again. (I don't want the F-5E to have its flairs removed, I just want the JA37 to have what it historically had!) JA37A first delivered in 1979/1980, Flair pod introduced in 1987 and the JA37B is from 1990 ... So, even if this is the first ever Viggen variant, it can still carry them!
TheAntiAirGuy, I bet countermeasures will be as research mod as it was with Mig-21Bis
Why doesn't it get countermeasures? It was able to mount flare and chaff pods.
On the Wikipedia it says that the countermeasures were first added on the Ja37d version, this is Ja37. Haven't been able to find anything else regarding that.
Hunter4522, http://www.airvectors.net/avvig.html you might find this interesting
No countermeasures. Damn.
No countermeasures, you say? Another nerf like giving J35D only AIM-9Bs on launch lol
Without countermeasures the Viggen will be as useless at top tier as the Draken very disappointed
"Among the guided weapons there are already familiar to Swedish pilots RB24 and RB24J" I'm not aware of the JA37 having the basic RB24, every source I've seen about the JA37 only has the RB24J and RB74 listed when it comes to the sidewinders. It didn't enter service until 1980 and Sweden started using the RB24J in 1977. Are you really giving it the RB24 just to increase the grind?
Probably yes while Su17 have 2x R60 as stock payload -_- Interesting what missles mig27 are going to get as stock.
If you look at F-4E, you can see that it also has AIM-9Bs in the loadout, but it's not a researchable modification. It's the opposite of adding grind, it helps you; it's the default missile.
Your renders are incorrect. The canard flaps are always deployed on the ground, as they are linked to the gear.
So you're adding this with SARH missiles capable of 25 - 30G but you're not adding the AIM-7F and R-24 to the US and USSR? Who's behind your decision-making?
Maybe wait and see if they do? the updae isnt here yet dummy
halika6, We got yet another accurate leak list it seems and it doesn't mention them. Maybe as last ditch additions we'll see the MiG-23MLA or MLD and a late naval F-4 but we'll see.. I don't think it will happen. They pulled this prank before and the USSR had to make do with the R-3R for like 5 patches.
