Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor - Transforming the Aerial Warfare

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.

Last bit is like a double edged blade

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.

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.

bang some R-27ER/EA and R-73s and job done.

F-35 will be a bag of poo, compared to the F-22 performance is nowhere near the

Wasn’t the cargo compartment for the Su-47 created for testing the Su-57?

yeah but f35a still beats f16 in dogfights, so its not like its bad IRL just nowhere near as insane as f22

F-16 is pretty dated by todays standards
