JAS39 Gripen

Abilities

One special and one passive, both unique to this aircraft. The values below each are what it does at every level it can reach.

special

Disguise

Take on the appearance (in the HUD) of the enemy closest to the center of your view, or a random enemy if none are visible. You can't activate Disguise if an enemy is aware of you. Attacking or taking any damage breaks your Disguise. Getting a kill with no enemy witnesses within 6 seconds of breaking Disguise resets the cooldown. While Disugise is active, your missile lock range and angles are reduced, and missile lock time is increased, but your missile locks will not trigger a warning for your targeted enemy. Cooldown: 40s

Every stat

Bar length is where this aircraft ranks against the whole roster, always with best at full length. The label is the real value, and where the wiki defines a stat its own description sits underneath.

Nothing strictly beats it

No aircraft in the roster matches or beats the JAS39 Gripen on all 7 core stats at once. Something will be better at any one of them, but you are not flying a jet that another one simply replaces.

Where these numbers come from

Every published figure on this page is reproduced from the JAS39 Gripen page on the MetalStorm wiki, as it stood on 2026-08-18. This tool copies the wiki, it does not measure the game, so a number you disagree with is a question for the wiki editors rather than for us. The exception is a number here that differs from the one there: that is a fault in this tool, and worth reporting.
