We know it has a much lower RCS than the Nighthawk and that is about the size of a sparrow.
These are still estimations.
Now sure it has one of the best if not the best stealth capabilities but point still stands.
Correct, but we have the article from Riccioni (USAF), someone independent from LM who conceded to ‘bird size’ RCS on a head on, co-altitude, to enemy fighter radar. He wasn’t that much of a fan of the ATF program, if I were LM I’d take that as a compliment.
Actually there’s the public value of 0.0001m^2 front aspect for f-22
It also should be mentioned that the F-117 and F-22 use vastly different methods to reduce their RCS and from different aspects or against different radars the performance of each will vary
Where did you get that from?
Either one will be superior to the Su-57 as noted by India who claimed the aircraft is not Stealth.
Now I know Russia have improved the Su-57 the finish and RAM coatings on the later versions are a marked improvement.

In game SU-57 would be superior than both

It will because the game is make believe someone called it “selective balancing”
And the F-22 uses Aim120s so rip to that

forget AIM-120s, It will be more stealthy than both in game.Edit: Even if f22 would be more stealthy than it would still be on par with SU-57 due to AIM-120 like you said (I hope AIM-260 enters service before 5th gen are added to the game)
Well the Raptor uses 120s and as they are the worst ARHM at top tier it’s kind of a big deal
in air combat loadout, both will be the same power. limited to only aim120d and r77-1 ( still no proof yet for the r77m) in stealth mode.
the only way the su57 is better is when both have external stuff on the wing ( more missile or fuel tanks )
as the su57 can only bring the r37m in external pylons.
Lol, a T-50 struck at an RU test facility isn’t proof of it being used in combat…
lets not start this again, just read the convo and you will understand.
The two bays look like if they were a single longer bay could hold an R-37M
no its simply too large to fin ( dont mind the text idk what wrong with it )
here a promotion by the company itself.
and here a size comparison btw a r77-1 and a r37m, not to forget the fins of the r37m cant fold like the one on the 77-1

Sacrificing stealth over good missile would not be a bad strategy as i full expect 5th gen to fight against 4.5 gen
i mean even in 5th against 5th gen would also work. only when gaijin model the drop the pylon instead of keeping it attached to the plane.
