I think we are a full year out from 5th gen, at least a year
Hopefully once 4++ gen is done, gaijin will return to WW for a bit to give us a break for a couple of years, and maybe a re-release of the game under a new engine, and then a 5th gen update
Too many things will be broken with stealth jets
Either they won’t work, or they will be overpowered as heck, and won’t be realistic to their capabilities
(The SU-57 having F-22 like stealth, and the F-22 not being able to be shot with missiles whatsoever type issues)
That’s what I foresee anyways

Aim-9X block 3 was never procured and produced outside of testing.

I personally think that, we should get the prototype ones first before we get actual stealth fighters such as the YF-22A, and the YF-35A.

That would be only for america tought, this suggestion is for Italy (who never had the YF35).
There was no “YF-35”, I think you mean the X-35 experimental aircraft the F-35 is derived from. The F-35 followed a quite different development path than most fighters did, and thus never received an “XF-35” or “YF-35” designation as all the development was done under the X-35 program.
In MY opinion it shouldn’t even be the F-35. If the USAF followed the designation scheme it would’ve been the F-24, and there should’ve been XF and YF-24s respectively, but that’s another topic for another day.
F-24 just doesnt have that same ring to it though

Nice try, Ivan.
Now that typhoon is in the game the lightning 2 is certainly game for addition, especially as it can go to basically every tree in WT.
The US probably could do with f22 now too so that it’s got a unique thing at the top, it will out-BVR everyone but typhoon and rafale will still beat it up close so would be fair

The F-35s are far nore capable in a BVR role due to more advanced sensors, better ECM and especially with the european models receiving the Meteor, which when paired with the best AESA radar on a fighter will prove the raptor worshippers that they won’t in fact be dominating anything but the russian teams
The F-35 is an F22 which can carry better long range missiles, although the Americans have fallen very short with long range AAMs as of late, all depends on what comes out of BVRAAM in the next couple years.
Well russia hasn’t really been able to progress too much in the last 20 years compared to what matra, BAE and raytheon have cooked up

The leaders in BVR theoretically be the British, italian and Germany F-35s (depending on european AAM integration ), AESA eurocanards (with meteors) and the Chinese stealth/AESA jets with the PL15
