We’ve reasons to assume that this design is outdated. Also this GCAP concept has not been designed by Japan.

Anything flying yet?
For F-X; we don’t now, Japan keeps things quite secret. Radar however seems to be done already and apparently, initial preparations for unknown tests with unknown purpose are underway.
UK seems to work on their first airframe though, but I don’t follow them that much.

I wonder if they will put avionics on one of their larger aircraft, like how we put F-22 avionics on a Boeing 757
Likely they did that with J/APG-1 putting it on a C-1 experimental test bed
Correct me if im wrong but i think that C-1 was the first fixed wing with an AESA radar back in 1991
Depends when the F-22 test bed flew.

Nah your right, 1991 is earlier than anything US I know of
They should reveal this Year the MIG-41. That is suppose to be a 6th gen.
Spoiler
Watch it be made out of pure osmium and weigh more than a destroyer with a turning radius larger than Russia itself
probably.
🇺🇸🇺🇸Oh lord I love ‘Murica🇺🇸🇺🇸
This plane should be added as soon as possible, right after F-15E, we shouldn’t wait for next update, i need it right now.
USA by far has the weakest planes in the game, and this plane is only viable solutions to at least balance things up.
@Stona_WT please, message dev’s ASAP, tell them that we need this in game in about week, if you’re too busy, you can pm me phone number or email, I would contact them my self

Boys pack your bags, DirectSupport the war thunder player found out the capabilities of the most advanced production aircraft on the planet.
I mean fighter generations are kind of murky and pretty irrelevant. It’s just an easier way to categorize certain traits.
Arent f-x and tempest merged under gcap?

Sure. Pretty stupid to assume stuff about what is the most advanced (and classified) production aircraft on the planet, what even is a fighter in 2025 anyway?
If b21 can carry amraams and use data from datalinked aircraft for firing solutions whos to deny it the fighter status?

I mean, delta canard designs have proven to be extremely maneuverable. Ultimately pretty irrelevant but cool to think about.
