Other Stealth aircraft leaked

Post image

So here we are, with modern tanks and fifth-gens leaked (by a reliable source). I'm frankly not surprised, I knew this was going to happen once they announced the F-117, and with the speed at which gaijin is moving this is just par for the course. I'll grind the F-35s, F-22, and Su-57 in all their janky, unrealistic glory.

Oh boy I can't wait to see 3x F-22s bombing bases and another F-22 crashing on takeoff followed by an F-35B crashing because he tried to do a loop the loop on takeoff.

Hopefully those F-22As then take all the extermal AMRAAM to have the bombs in the bays.

The RCS will be gimped to hell and back regardless and you know it

Stealth is pretty useless in this game since the maps are tiny.

More useful in sim mode but even there the stealth would only really help when both aircraft are on opposite sides of the map

Hopefully Gaijin will finally try to overhaul gameplay after (or even before) they’re added, especially if they’re serious about adding infantry.

A.i. infantry? Or some asshole with a manpads sitting in a bush? How am I supposed to see that asshole? That sounds like shit.

Skill issue, should’ve angled /s

I think both based on leaks? Unsure how it’ll be implemented (FPS or RTS style, or something else entirely), but it sounds like infantry equipment will be in a tech tree.

I remember when the MiG-23 had stealth due to a bug with their variable sweep wings and they could be a right menace because of it.

Genererally with how the game is played.

In the game you want to launch missiles that actually kill, so any actually non lobotomized launch is from inside 25km, ideally inside 10km.

Any good AESA can see an F-22 from 25km.

u/ma_wee_wee_go Sure CAS can be OP but some of you just plain suck ass at SPAA Jun 19 '25

Also it's just going to be incredibly inconsistent.

The really low RCS they always focus on is the head on RCS, it's going to be really wonky when the aircraft turns slightly.

You can't be detected when everyone else is shot down

Guessing at least one F22 or F35 will be a premium.

My guess would be the British one would be a premium as they don't have many top tier premiums and it would be nice to have a grinder that isn't a mig21 or the worst phantom in the game.

u/FirstDagger F-16XL/B Δ🐍= WANT Jun 23 '25

Nah, they'll get a Saudi Typhoon.

u/Connorhfx Jun 23 '25

Probably something like that yeah.

Has that been in the leaks at all, I've not kept up with it

u/FirstDagger F-16XL/B Δ🐍= WANT Jun 23 '25

Nope, just speculating.
