F22 Even Possible in War Thunder?

Those classic gaijin guess will ragebait people into leaking classified documents. I guess I would have to be more active in forums during that time to get them

what the devs need to do is stop asking for sources on things that cant possibly have a non classified source

I have the totally opposite playstyle :D

My friend…if you got videos of people countering the IRIS-T SLM at dogfight ranges consistently share them please!!!

A quick search shows the Su-57 can’t use any 77s with lattice fins in its bays…are we to assume it will only mount 77s on the out side…come on now :/ it’s getting the 77M and by that extrapolation it’s very safe to say the 5th Gens are not getting the older gen weapons.

We’ll have to wait and see what they do.

But Im still assuming that the F-22 will onyl use Aim-9Ms, C5s and no HMD

Though they could put the Gen 5s 1.3 BR above everyone else. That would work too. Or just not give it any of its stealth properties.

no and no

unlikely, if you look at what other 5th gen HAVE to get it will probably get 120D, 9X-2, and HMD

Very likely, wouldn’t be the first time Gaijin releases something in a nerfed state, pretty much how they dealt with ARH carriers

You realize…this will be a bigger EXPLOSION then the 229 engines on the 15E right? There is NO chance they SCREW the F22 that hard XD and I’m a Flanker main for the record.

So, F-22 must steam roll every match because “MERICA!” ?

Why?

Loadouts have always been a balancing decision. We’ll have to wait and see what they do, but they could just model the R-77Ms to be identical to the R-77-1s in terms of stats. Doesnt mean the F-22 autoamtically needs anything better.

Though METEOR + ASRAAM would fair quite well vs F-22. Will be funny watching US mains complain about Aim-9X

can you send me the link of the gif please?

So F-22 must be the same BR as the Gen 4.5s whilst supposedely being superior in every singel respect?

No, thats not how balance works.

So either Gen 5s fight only Gen 5s. Or they heavily mitigate the stealth on the Gen 5s so that 4.5s can actually reasonably fight them. One way to mitigate their performance would be to give Gen 4.5s a missile advantage.

I get it, US mains jsut want to easily win every match, but that likely wont be happening

Btw they can bring a premium YF-22/23? or a rare event caz maybe sound better

You missed the part where I said I’m a Flanker main XD but even I can see the F22 is NOT going to be as DOG WATER as you think it will be! Sorry…good day, out of Crazy town now.

2 for 2 on strawmans

leaks literally said everyone would get next gen missiles to compete with the gen 5’s as well

How?

You are the one arguing the F-22 needs Aim-120D, Aim-9X2s and HMD to compete with aircraft like the Typhoon whilst also assuming it will be invisible to radars.

Exactly, it said that 4.5s will be getting next gen missile to compete with Gen 5s. It didnt state that Gen 5s will also be getting next gen missiles. I assume that is Missiles like PL-15, Meteor, etc
