It just gets more prevalent as time goes on
Almost, as if, in modern world there’s basically 4-5 major vehicles manufacturers/exporters (plus it cuts time and cost for the Snail while maintaining some level of authenticity)

it’s not that big problem, after all, in modern world, it’s harder and harder to produce own weapons.
but what really worrying is that even when “cuts time and cost for the Snail”, there is more and more bugs and unfinished things.
everyone has an option that isnt copy paste. it all disappears with F-35 though.
Well… We can always just skip the F-35 and go straight onto the 6th Gen aircraft.

absolutely nothing is known about them other than vague statements and concept art. couple of pictures and video for the Chinese ones

Even before that. Besides Europe “we want our own, domestic 4th gen!” it basically boils down to F-16 and Su-30
F-2, J-10, later F-15I have also been changed quite a bit.
Really wish Japan put there X-2 into service as a production fighter at least that would of gave them a unique gen 5 but oh well its basically Japans EAP 😆

Can we have this issue expedited?

Depending on how effective stealth ends up being either next to nobody or nobody at all would try to engage a F-22 in BVR and I am fairly confident that both the Eurofighter and Rafale would beat the F-22 in WVR.
And as soon as IIR missiles arrive the F-22 wouldn’t stand a chance anymore.
F-22 might be able to fit spectral flares. So it would have a shot at surviving that.

Stuka will be able to carry 1,800 kg bomb after this update lol

Even if they buffed its radar I do not think its all that crazy at 13.7 nor do I think it would be the 4th best 14.0 I would put the F/A-18C, Rafale, EF, F-15E/I, and Su-30SM ahead of it
Which is still just going to be copy-paste for everyone that isn’t US and China.
Yup and it will be funny as hell to drop those on unsuspecting tanks

Who makes them first defines what a gen 6 is, but what seems to be universally agreed on is that: it is AI assisted, optionally unmanned, re-focused on high-alt high-speed, huge ranges, most likely twin-seater

optionally unmanned, but also twin-seater lol
UAV intergration is likely the key improvement over gen 5, plus reorienting towards higher combat altitudes and higher speed, providing their weaponries more energy, and supporting gen 4/5 combat from a very long range
Hence optionally unmanned, it can be an UAV itself
