The F-22 accelerates much much better, that thing pushes over 52,000lbf without afterburners.

It only accelerates faster and F-15 still has a big payload and top end advantage
What I am interested in is whether 2 can fit in the side bays with a modification to the missile ejection system

Nah, F-22 is in its own league, as are essentially all stealth fighters. Its a good thing really, they can fight eachother.
EX is the best EFT and Rafale counterpart, Super hornet I guess too technically.
I personally in the nicest possible way, don’t think you have thought this through, as you would be vying for the F-22 to stomp here. It’s its own opinion, but I’d respect more an admittance of that than what I personally do not think is the most well-thought-out opinion??
I just don’t know what you think a Eurofighter or Rafale is going to be doing against an F-22 in-game?
They cannot even see given IRST’s aren’t performing as advertised and have no launch feature in-game either. You think they should just be the same br given potentially worse flight performance, slower, worse supercruise, equal weapons, equal or marginally better radars?
shoot missiles at it.
and if i wasnt clear i mean a very early raptor (2005 or even before) going against midlife (t3 for typhoon, tbh rafale f3r is already there) with worse AAM, no HMD so the Raptor has to get closer to the typhoon/rafale so they get a better shot at a lock. not to mention rafale AESA radar should help within the effective range of its MICA’s. the seeker of the AIM-120 is also not LPI so they can defend F-22 AMRAAM shots
hopefully they fix the IRST for both since this would also make it more even.
they also dont have to be the same BR. F-22 should be at 14.7 at the very least
notch and use mica-ir/em and asraam and iris-t
F-22 by December

Well, well, well… This is certainly coming from a trusted source, and those could arrive sooner than we expected.
Still…
I think that’s unlikely because those are still WIP vehicles, so I expect they may be delayed further into 2026.

I hope they would bring in a United Korea or LATAM tree before they introduce Gen 5, would love to have the Boromae
Hopefully! I’d love to see the KF-21 Boramae added to the game someday too.
That does worry me a bit. Gaijin seems eager to rush in new shiny toys, and I just hope the F-22 doesn’t get added with an inaccurate or broken model, especially since the classified nature of the aircraft would make it nearly impossible for us to submit meaningful bug reports.
Yeah, some parts can be figured out but I think they’ll have to allow pilot interviews for F-22 bug reports
As has been shown already, you left out the text saying it’ll likely be pushed back. It’s a work in progress, not confirmed confirmed for the December update.

Leclerc has correct armour values on MSC…Quick nerf it to the same as the Leclerc on live.

Didn’t even see the YF-23! If that gets added the Su-47 is also a contender. We are in paper/prototype jet wars
the YF-23 had a weapons bay made and seperately tested, afaik the Su-47 had no such thing. Su-47 was purely experimental while YF-23 competed against the YF-22 to become the ATF program winner, it was meant to fight.
Top tier final form, ngl we’ve been telling that since firebirds update. I wonder how the F-35 will be compared to the F-22 though. All depends on how they model stealth.
