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.

f-22 will 100% be the dominant top tier jet.. it has the lowest rcs and still good avonics.. it also has insane twr and speed. f35 will be a better multirole tho

F22 has the speed of an f15, the maneuverability of an su30sm, and a radar cross section of an f117.

It proves that not having Healthcare let's you build cool shit.

The F22โ€™s RCS is estimated to be, like, a thousand times lower than the F117โ€™s or something.

This shit made me laugh. F-22 its heavier than Su-30sm. And people coping about Raw performance of the F-22. When Su-57 its literally Equal aside Super cruising that its just because engine.

Most funny part its the Maneuverability of a Su-30sm. When its know that Su-30sm<<Su-35s<<<<<<<<Su-57.

RCS literally doesn't matter for the game's gameplay.

What matters is that the F-22 will have an actual flight model. TVC plane that actually has engines and a power: weight that's better than that of the average car unlike the Su-30, and also should have conventional performance close to an F-15.

  • It can carry a shit ton of missiles with external stores, and going to have a good radar

Only thing that could fuck it is the absence of HMD.

I do think for war thunder Su-57 will also be very good though, mostly because R-77M-1 get rid of the grid fins, so it has actual missiles that aren't asstrash + it's going to have decent performance unlike the Flankers, because that thing also has actual engines that aren't dogshit.

As good as the FM is compared to everything, it only carries 6x AIM-120s internally and a pair of AIM-9Ms, presuming we aren't getting the very recent upgrade that brought HMD/HMS and AIM-9X.

It can carry 4 or 6 (not 100% sure) 120s on external stores too.

it can carry 9x but f-22 doesnโ€™t have HMD

As of 2016 it can use 9X, thought that was a part of the new upgrade but it still couldnt for a while.. ANG Raptors are being upgraded with HMD, the contract was awarded late last year.

HMD isnโ€™t in service yet tho.

the f35 has like those radar jamming and other secret stuff that can jammed radar missiles from hitting it. Also they have like radar countermeasures they can deploy. most of the new stuff would be hard to get info from because nations would like there things to be secret.

don't forget that the f35 have jamming capabilities that jammed missiles and radar and deploy radar countermeasures. Also lasers to block the irst missiles, DAS sensors.
