probably lmao, but I need it, my 5 QF 6-inch Mark N5 gun
If for the US it props won’t but for a minor nation like Japan I could see it coming
Yeah I was talking about 5th Gens in general, 3 is F-22, F-35A and F-35B, and we could get the F-35C later since it would be a bit too much in one update
That wouldn’t make sense though it’s the Joint Strike Fighter, what makes it what it is is being a tri-service aircraft

F-22 and F-35 tt while the YF-23 is a squadron is I’m betting

But do you really need 4 or 5 aircraft to grind out in a singel update?
It would make sense to add them more peacemeal
Yeah for sure but I don’t wanna upset other nation’s mains tbf… like they kind of would be right to whine about the US getting 4 5th Gens in the same update lol

Im not being forced at gunpoint to grind them within a certain timeframe of the update release
Hence why I see the KF-21 for Japan since they can get 3 that way iirc

Okay. So add 5 aircraft in the first update of 5th gens and then dont add a single new aircraft to the US for the next year to year and a half. Sounds good to me
F-22 midlife, F-22 late, F-35A/B/C late, X-35, X-32, YF-22
And all the 4 and 4.5 and cold war jets etc. etc.
I can only see nations getting the maximum of 3 stealth aircraft in that update most being F-35’s
The fact that we’re getting the F-35 kind of ensures we are getting the Aim-9X on those new stealth aircrafts too doesn’t it? I’m not sure the Lightning II can carry anything else.
In which mean that for me I need to grind out the last two F-15s ASAP if I want to get the taste for the F-35

Nothing stopping 9M from being fitted but 9X is more accurate

Gaijin logic Aim-9 = Aim-9.
Strictly speaking the T2 Typhoons we have (especially considering they are 2008+) never used Aim-9. I dont think they really care that much anymore
So worse case scenario, it will just have Aim-9Ms again. But would make sense to add Gen 5 IRs sooner rather than later and adding them alongside something like the F-35 would make sense
Though I still think stealth is too soon. But Am looking forward to getting T3 Typhoons alongside them

I don’t think the F-35 is going to be under F-15’s
Wouldn’t be surprised if they made it a premium tbh. But if it does come it would be best for it to be a squadron vehicle

It will be for Japan while the KF-21 will be in the thai line or perhaps another sub line ?
As the KF-21 would be a good excuse to bring in the Indonesian sub

I made this back in december 2024, but I still think the 5th Gens ( Rank IX) part is accurate.
