How will smaller future jets like F-CK-1 fit in upcoming game with Gen 5 on horizon?

I’ve been eagerly awaiting some unreleased jets like Aida F-CK-1A, FTC2000G. I’m sure there’s many more examples of smaller Jets, that fit this as well.

Right now we see jets at 13.0 and 13.3 with lower numbers of Fox 3’s and 13.7 usually having 6+, and 14-14.3 having many more.

Some of the very interesting jets not implemented yet in lighter category like F-CK-1 which can only carry 4 Fox 3’s but can have more advanced missiles like TC-2C, I can see them existing like the JF-17 at 13.3 limited to their most basic Fox 3’s but if these jets were introduced with the more advanced missiles, Would that be something that could sit at say 14.0? if New Gen 5 end up 15.0.

Least I can imagine how J8F can sit at 13.0 with PL-12’s, Wondering if similar kinda thing can see something that can use PL-15’s for instance at 14.0 but in fewer number.

I’m also hoping we won’t see BR creep from PL-15’s and more advanced missiles being added, like what happened the F16A MLU for Taiwan, Rather see option to play at previous BR if not using the more advanced missiles.

FCK1 won’t be within their BR range to begin with… so it doesn’t matter.

As for gen 5s, a number of them won’t be stealth so the real question is how with the fights between stealth vs non-stealth be.

In air RB it’ll cause closer engagements, but you know where everyone spawns.

In air sim, it’ll be more difficult for the non-stealth aircraft.

Yeah thats exactly why I’m wondering how these kinda jets even fit, I can see FCK1 being at 13.3 with early TC2’s

But later ones and one of more late airframes, hows that fit, likewise with other aircraft that only carry 4-6 more advanced missiles.

Beside SU-57 and F-22(if they give it HMD) rest all will struggle against eurofighter and rafale
