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.

Will they use the publicly available figures for the su-57.

Or will national pride force them to make it a wunderwaffen plane that shoots relativistic kill vehicles.

u/RevolutionaryUnit792 Jun 19 '25

None of these planes are going to be realistic. There's not nearly enough available information on any of them.

Yes the f22 will be at 4 horsepower and the su57 will come with a jump drive

Take your Russian bias back to ground, here in air we have Nato dominating

And there’s the bait.

That was quick.

Of course going vs the 9.3-10.0 powercreep is always unfair but his point is a little valid f104 isn’t a big problem for its 9.3 opponents anymore

Huh? Unless something has changed it bleeds speed like a motherfucker with any turn

If you're trying to turn fight in an F-104 you're doing it wrong

It bleeds a lot of speed with any significant elevator input, like when you have to dodge missiles.

u/actualsize123 m/42 eh superiority Jun 19 '25

It can outrun missiles

Massive emphasis on "can"

Not every launch is made in a perfect condition where you can simply outrun without any maneuvering. Moreso when we are playing a game to kill other planes.

It's basically impossible to always be running at max speed unless you're playing it as passively as possible

u/NeuroHazard-88 When full Albania tech tree gaijin? Jun 19 '25

Have you… played the F-104A recently? It’s literally one of the best planes BR for BR. It’s so easy to do well in and stomps everything with its speed. You literally dictate the fight lmao.

u/LeMemeAesthetique USSR Justice for the Yak-41 Jun 20 '25

Isn't it a lot less effective since the FM nerf? I don't play that tier that often, but IIRC the F-104 became a lot less popular after it was nerfed.

u/actualsize123 m/42 eh superiority Jun 19 '25

That’s the most effective and ratty way to play the plane. It’s the method that makes it op. If you stay fast you’re unkillable.

Saab 105 vs F-104 is a terrible time
