MAWS yes but airbrake i think is done with regular control surfaces manipulated by FBW
And does F-22 have external stores? (No render)
No
EW isnt modeled in WT
Its an intergrated Tpod. likely will perform no better than Sniper already does
I assume that is defensive aid system?
if so, how does it differ from those on the EFT or Rafale already in game?
which is only thanks to the stealth, Like I said, excluding the stealth.
It can be fitted. we’ve seen f22 with drop tanks.
what we dont know (or at least I don’t) is the theoretical or operational max it can carry on the outer pylons.
360 IRST/MAWS. you did mention it
It would be one way to ensure the F-35B performs just as well as the F-35A/C
Weapons I mean
Wait the upgrades that F-22 is getting will include that right?
Rafale already has 360 MAWS.
360 IRST will be interesting, but how useful it will be you’ll have to wait and see.
But lets assume for the moment that IIR missiles are limited to LOBL like I think they will be… it wont be that useful outside of SB, thats if they fix the UI for it
it can probably take the 2nd amraam on each too. they dont put it because it would be redundant probably

Its exclusively a MAWS, it doesnt have IRST functionality in the conventional sense.
F-35 DAS has exceptionally good range apparently
all aspect passive detection has potential
quick search:
if I recall those are the same dual rack on the f18 or eurofighter (cant really tell), so would make up to 4? amraam on the outside
DAS?
read video description
So it has stealth (we’ll wait and see how that is modeled), 360 MAWS (not new to the game) and maybe, if its modeled, 360 passive detection.
Its still gunna be weaker in terms of weapon load, FM, CMs, etc to aircraft that are already in game
it would be comparable with Sidekick should they add it
its either 30 or 120 from what ive heard
fun thing about stealth fighters is it uses its advantages to counter what it lacks.
Less weapons? Cool, just hold ur missiles until you can guarantee a kill. They’ll (radar missiles, for the most part) will miss anyway.
Flight model? Entirely at the discretion of Gaijin, but a bare minimum is quite literally the best acceleration of all jets at a minimum with much better thrust vectoring capability than the Su-30SM2 and better energy retention than Eurofighter.
CMs are sort of redundant for a fighter that uses ECM most of the time and the way CMs are modelled (at least for flares) now are sort of incorrect anyway.
So 6 missiles internally instead of 4?
assuming also 2x SRAAMs on the wings. Thats still only a 2+6 weapons fit which is about average, but still not that great compared to most.
