I would conclude that the Su-57 is stealth simply because it manages to carry armaments internally, makes an attempt to reduce rcs by geometric shaping, and also has ram coating on it. Trying to say it’s not as stealthy as the F-22 doesn’t matter as something like the F-117 Nighthawk is also probably primitive in stealth technology.

And that 0.0001m^2 is the best case scenario where the target is probably low to the ground, and directly nose-on. IRST likely would pick up an F-22 target much further away. Same for modern AESA radars.

EF has about as reduced visibility as the Rafale/Su57 so its not as bad for Ger, UK and Italy
There was a leak about its stealth in form of a patent wich depending on angle gives it an RCS of 0.1-1m²
wich on average is like the EF or Rafale
hi all, I would like to know if anyone knows the release date of the f22 raptor ? or if you know if it will be implemented on the game or not thanks
If it does get added, wont be for maybe at least 1 to 2 years.

we already told you, no release date, best guess 1-2 years
but can we at least hope to see him in play sooner or later?
We’ll see F-15s and F-18s added before the F22 and if we get any stealth aircraft first, then that will likely be the F-117. Id also expect to see something like the F-111 and the Harrier II added as well in the not so distant future.
So thats at leqst 5 aircraft right there. Assuming 1 every 4 to 6 months
Combined with the hopefully upcoming AMRAAM update this year. Im not overly anticipating something like the F22 for maybe over a year, possibly 2. A lot of work needs to be done before stealth fighters are even remotely an option. We dont even have ECM yet

rather later, there are a lot aircraft that would be added before the f22, go rather with the time frame of 2 years
I think you guys are being very optimistic with 1-2 years. I suspect not until 5-6 years.
5 years at 0.5BR additions a year, that’s BR 2.7, so 14.7 with current compression, which won’t exist 5 years from now, so an even higher BR.
True, but my guess for those aircraft is that they are going to be Rank 9 or Rank 10. Same thing with the F-14D, which will probably be a Rank 9 aswell.
F-14D won’t be rank 9, too low of a BR & still gen 4.
Gen 5 or very high BR is what I’m guessing for rank 9 if it happens.
But rank 10 is implausible. Not enough aircraft in existence for either BRs or generations.
But the F-15 is presumed to be coming out soon, likely chance being Rank 9. The F-14D came out in 1990 versus the F-15 came out in 1976 and the generations are to me a mix of skill and year of making
No, F-15 is coming at rank 8. There is no rank 9 coming this year.
F-14D would be rank 8 as well.
Rank 8 was just this year, we’re not even at gen 4.5 yet which will also be rank 8.
Best guess, next to be added, likely this september if it is the Fox 3 Update
US: F-15
GB: SHar FA2
Sweden: Gripen
Probably a USSR
I dont know my other nations too well. But it will be along those lines. I definetly see F-18 not that long after. Im hoping we’ll see an early/prototype Typhoon sooner rather than later. But I dont think we’ll see 4.5/5th gen for a while yet. There are too many holes in most nations to fill first. I could potentially see F-22 around the same time we see comparible late 4th gen and 4.5 gens. But not before.
Every nation needs some competitive to be added. BR and ranks are irrelevant when in my opinion, only nations with F-14,. F-16 or Mig-29 are currently competitive. Sweden, GB, France (maybe, no idea if the Mirage 2000 is actually anygood), need some love next update
Don’t be disappointed when F-15 doesn’t have ARHs.
Eh… Never gunna fly it anyway, im a Britain main. So long as I get my Sea Harrier FA2 with 9Ms and AMRAAM, then that will keep me happy till the Typhoon. (though wouldnt say no to seeing the Sea Harrier FRS1 and Tornado Gr1 finished, but its been 9 months now, so im kinda loosing hope on that front)
