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
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.
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.
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.
