Oh yes please, give me an LRIP F-22A with 120B/Cs and 9M-2s or 9M-4s.
Right alongside decompression to 16.0 xD
F-22A “Early” w/ AIM-120B and unlockable C-5s w/ stock 9Ms
F-22A w/ AIM-120C-5, Stock 9M and researchable 9X Blk.1 and HMD
F-22A “MLU” w/ 120D, 9X Blk.1/2, 360 IRST, whatever else is in that package
F-22A “Late” w/ AIM-120D/AIM-260/9X Blk.2+, and idfk what else
Gotta content max around these parts.
whos that one filipino guy on reddit
Do you have something like this for other 5th gen as well?
I just don’t see Gaijin modeling or implementing it correctly. I have to imagine most documents regarding its true capability are still classified and its also a video game. Unless there are changes to air battles like dynamic spawns, its going to be shoe-boxed into a style of fighting it mainly wasn’t designed for. You would hope it comes with 120C-7s or 120Ds but I’m not holding my breath. No different than the Abrams.
F-18C and F-15C GE are amazing aircraft in War Thunder.
I don’t get why your posts lie about and trash on American vehicles…
How did you stock grind it? I seriously need help with stock grind of F-15C GE. I am finding F-18C stock grind to be much better then F-15C GE
2 2000 pound bombs, 1 500, conformal tanks with fuel, as many air to air weapons as possible with that loadout.
Internal fuel set to whatever you want, the conformals add just over 20 minutes on dry thrust.
Then I bomb on routes I think are safe, and after doing so join whatever fight I can in a boom and zoom manner until I have all performance mods unlocked with similar priority given to unlocking AIM-120s so I can have a 4x4 loadout during the rest of the performance spading.
4 IR 4 AIM-120 is my general bombing loadout for self-defense.
Once performance spaded I’ll create a 4x8, 3x9, and 2x10 loadout for air to air priority.
I also prioritized one preset until I unlocked both flares and BOL modifications, then deleted the preset and restarted the game to create new presets as to avoid the BOL unlock bug with presets.
If this is the “standard” setup it wouldn’t have HMD to begin with, I’d feel that would help it fare well against other early iterations of 5th gens.
I have one for the J-20 that’s in-progress, and I’ve given up on trying the Su-57 because of how much is changing on a near monthly basis. I’ll get back to that once somebody gets a clearer image of the production AL-51 kits that isn’t through miles of haze on a maintenance road in Zhukovsky.
Might have to take a trip back there and do it myself
I’ll try that

But according to the document would that mean that F-22 is not very stealthy?
I mean… It’s VLO anyway.
It’s a decently stealthy aircraft, matches what I’ve done in the past with the Su-57 (albeit a crude model, but it still came out around -10dbsm. I’ll have to dig that one up as well.
So out of all 5th gen that you have done research on, was the F-22 the most stealthy?
?? Compared to what you can find at 14.3, The F-18E and F-15C GE are both the worst 14.3 in the game. Eurofighter AESA outdoes them at pretty much everything other than carrying slightly less AIM-120. They can work like pretty much any fighters but they are still the worst of the lot.
No it was not. Alpharius is right, it was added one patch before LMUR and AH-64E and it was already annoying to fight back then. Check the date of this video, june. Tusk Force(AH-64E) was released in September 2025. LMUR and to a smaller measure JAGM only amplified the problem ten fold.

This can actually be read in 2 ways:
-
“4,5th gen planes will get better missiles while the 5th gen planes won’t”
-
“5th gen planes will be added with new missiles, but similar missiles will be added to already existing 4.5th gen planes” (Same as how a bunch of 4th gen planes were added without ARH initially but got them with seek and destroy)
neither of these is incorrect as it’s pretty open to interpretation.
The Su-30SM2, AESA EFT and Rafale should already be 0.7 BR above the other current 14.3s lol.
Nope, F-35A was. Rang in with a -17dbsm frontal average.
At least F-22 would be second place right?
As I’ve said, the Su-35S matches it in extremely lucky cases. Take what you will from that
