does anyone know if these photos are edited cause it seems even tho it has no radar it still has pylons

Most likely simply because those belly pylons are built in to the aircraft.

But with no radar you wouldn’t be able to fire anything besides AIM-9s which I don’t think it even has. I think it’s gun was removed to.

seems enough to get it passed as SU47 didn’t have anything either

also america at toptier right now is straight buns this would solve it

We need a F-15EX Strike Eagle II , It will solve all problems with US air for now

not really its a F15E+ basically and WVR combat its useless

the ACTIVE is actually a very good option as it has PW229S and 3D thrust vectoring with AIM-120As and AIM-9Ms it would probably be pretty good

also we can see F-15E (Late) with aesa and capable with new weapon systems if Gaijin thinks that the EX is overpowered , and i guess that the ACTIVE is also very interesting.

both would be good as the F15 active can fill the role of the WVR fighter while the F15EX handles BVR

p sure since its a Nasa Aircraft it had all of the weapons electronics removed, might be wrong tho

As a suggestion not passed for implementation. Suggestions really mean little. Smin confirmed su47 is not planned any time soon.

This aircraft simply lacks any armament

If the devs want this plane to be in the game, they’ll bend the “technical compatibility” standard to achieve it.

doesnt mean it wont happen neither is raptor planned any time soon

yes but the YAK-141 has weapons it never had electronics installed for so id say its fair

the Typhoon prototype was also denied under the same premise and the IAI Lavi is also looking very unlikely

Yeah very doubtful we would ever see this in-game since it had it’s weapons capabilities removed and seemingly no plans to arm the aircraft as it was meant to serve as a research testbed for thrust vectoring.

Tbf Lavi at least mounted I think Sidewinders and had the internal DEFA fitted. But aside from that and maybe some hypothetical weapons loads, there’s a lot of unknowns with Lavi lol

There is no strike eagle II, it’s just eagle II

Electronics wise, the only properly “fake” things are what?

HMS
Countermeasures
IRST
Maybe RWR?

They’ve already said Yak-41 was modeled after the planned production model.

Also the missiles were planned, like 530Ds on Mirage 4000s, or XP-50’s guns.

Also forum suggestions being passed has about as much gravity as a bug report being passed as a suggestion…
