This is for the F-35, i can try to find the document if you want but i havr stuff mentioning the 22’s is only a MAWS / Alert system, not an IRST. If you want me to find it.

oh you were talking about the 22, yeah that is MAWS only.
new IRDS upgrade is probably changing that though

This is of course assuming the stealth is modeled to 100% theorized IRL performance.
What if the F-35 was perfectly detectable and could be engaged at 50-60km, given that the average weapon release in-game is like 20km. Would it make a difference?
F-35?
Again, just a massive assumpion ECM will be modeled and also failing to take into account that everyone will else would get ECM at the same time.
Euro-deltas are also known for their EW Suites. Fairly certian I remember reading something about F-22s struggling to lock onto Typhoons past about 40-50km because of the Typhoons EW,and this was back with CAPTOR-M
Aren’t F-22 also being upgraded to also have IRST?
yeah becuase thats about the only combat effectiveness selling point they can pull without lying. and even then on a stealth jet EW would be more effective + they probably have better ECM anyways
I don’t think this will be the case in war thunder because 3D TVC is extremely favored for mouse aim whereas 2D TVC you have no yaw control.

Well yeah, these stealth fighters are designed to penetrate hostile environments and eliminate enemies with minimal detection, if at all. You’re not going to stay invisible to people with high-powered AESA/PESA radar sets the entire time or at most ranges, you can expect to be fired on/engaged from at least 30 km.
F-35 would have a similar (but slightly worse) flight model to F-15C anyway, even moreso in F-35B.
Stealth fighters cant be introduced without ECM, like at all. That’s what makes stealth fighters so potent.

both its engines and radar are not mounted to any Su-30SM2s IRL
and they already matched known STR charts (they were even somewhat overpreforming in high speed STR) and now they are massively over preforming in STR

Sure, keep telling yourself that
you know im right lol. think about burn through range
Cant also forget to mention that the Su-30SM2 gets a notably higher spawn speed too. Whch is kinda annoying balancing mechanic

Which again… CAPTOR-M was able to prevent F-22s from locking until 40-50km. Iamgine what ECRS Mk2 can do vs a F-22
So confident yet so wrong lmao.
It’s pretty basic info that SM2 has the Su-35’s engines. What can be disputed however is if it indeed has the Irbis-E radar and not the improved Bars radar
yes, have been seen with rails for up to 4 external missiles
cant find anything on that.
Could you tell me when this happened so that i could try to find some sources about it
no
its a fact that neither of those have been mounted to SM2
I dont know where you would have gotten the idea otherwise
Either way, Euro canards and F-22 will be on the same side when su-57 is graping lobbies left and right
iirc, it was a redflag quite a few years ago, it was an F-22 pilot interview.
