What rcs are you using for your detection figures? doesnt seem right
No. It’s classified as reduced visibility, they never claimed it was stealth.

Even if they claimed it was a true stealth aircraft. Id take anything russia claims with a pinch of salt.
I have heard though it waa only designed with front aspect stealth in mind, but produces so much heat, IRST detects it with ease. But those are only rumours
If AWG-9 can do 200km against a 5 m^2 target.
It can do 13.3km against a 0.0001m^2 target.

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.
