Yes, which is one of the stronger planes at its BR brackets. F-15EX would be lethal with tons of AIM-120.
I mean it’s in their interest to stretch out vehicle additions, so we could see something like an F-22 early and late.

Commanche means bugger all because helis are already radar stealth as no PD is modeled from the rotor blades
And does the F-117 stealth even really work? Its also not a top tier fighter.
they could even thow in a midlife version

still, theyve done it before and the raptor carries less amraams
Well there’s no Rafale or Eurofighter early.
Hornet early and late added at once.
We will see if there are late Rafale and Eurofighter variants added, then I’d say yes.
In and around BR 10.0, yeah mostly.
SPAA at that BR have crappy radars, though you’re still vulnerable to IRST like Ozelot.
In 12.0, yeah no chance. Pantsir can see you like Eye of Sauron XD

Well. They reduced the effectiveness of BOL by more than 75%. So if they do the same for Stealth, then it will hardly be wort
Yes, but you’re missing that those planes were basically the strongest around when they got added.
as the USAF intended. F-22 also doesnt have HMD until latest version
As I dont really face the US in ASB at the moment. I’ve yet to try it, but I cant imagine that something like the Sea Vixen radar would be anymore affected by it than just flying low would and using ground clutter.
Seems stupidly niche ability to me and Id rather just fly ultra low in something like the Buc S1 to be immune to radar than to use stealth to hide as you can still be easily spotted with the old mk2 eyeball
So assuming that F-22 stealth wasnt all that much better in game. its hardly worth even mentioning its got it
Sure, but that wasn’t some intentional nerf, just them being strange about things as per usual.
No. BOL was 100% a fake nerf designed to nerf the Gripen.
The fact the bug reports have been ignored and so far no word from the “un-nerf BOL thread” its pretty clear it being nerfed to the point of uselessness isnt a mistake

Sure, but my point was we didn’t see Eurofighter or Rafale added in HMDless versions, they frankensteined a HMD on there. This isn’t the F-2A where we can get a premium 13.3 F-22A with only AIM-7P and AIM-9L or something.
F-22A even without HMD would probably still rip up the matchmaker even with AIM-9M and AIM-120A/B but I don’t expect it to come without AIM-9X or AIM-120C-5 at the minimum. There’s basically no way they could nerf it more than this.
Their hands are basically tied on this matter.

have you heard of the YF-22 perchance?
AIM-9M was its main service weapon for a good bit until the 9X was put on it, so no problem with that. same with an early model AIM-120C, they probably used those too
So if I bring up all the ignored Soviet bug reports, you will agree Soviets are intentionally nerfed to oblivion by Gaijin or is that not how it works for some mysterious reason?
AIM-9M is still really good and it can’t carry less potent weapons than ARH.
it absolutely will not be a premium because it can’t be lower than like 14.3
if they add the F-22 at like 14.7 or 15.0, they could do a YF-22 with nothing but pitbull amraam (dont even think it mounted a radar or countermeasures) at a much much lower BR
Very little of what you are saying is reasonable.
the YF-23 was also leaked
