Maybe, we’ll see in the coming updates
If CAPTOR-E is even AESA upon arrival I will be pleasantly surprised

US aren’t meta at the moment. Therefore US is suffering

Let’s hope we even get F-35s with the F-22.
This could just as easily end up as Gaijin calling it “too advanced” only to add F-22 with no equivalents for most nations and F-35 to come a year or two too late with essentially the same armament as F-22 anyways.

F-22 being the first should come first like the F-117 or Comanche. It lacks a lot of stuff the F-35 has
Yeah… just like the F-2… Same armaments as the rest, yet got added now. It didn’t even receive its HMD…
Also, these big gaps for Japan still leaves room for another sub-tt, maybe 2 even. But Indonesia and Singapore dont really have that advanced equipment.

I just want BB players to suffer
Subs will be an excellent way to do that

Yeah honestly expecting CAPTOR-E to be on par with MiG-21’s radar at this point.

Yeah, like the first AESA fighters were the F-2 and F-15
At least when it comes to the F-35s it makes sense for balance to introduce them both…

Meanwhile… i’m still waiting for Chinese, Japanese, Italian and French prop planes, since they all get American stuff… Japan hasnt received any WWII TT plane for over 4 years now…

The game isn’t ready for the F-35, the things it relies on to be good aren’t modeled to a sufficient extent or just aren’t modeled and the things that are bad will stand out a lot.
Sweet. So ASRAAM to come a full update before Aim-9X blcok 1? and then no Block 2 aim-9X for a good long while?

Honestly we should get some “stealth” modifications to already existing fighter to test the waters first. Add stuff like the F-16 Have Glass versions and the F-15SE to see what stealth will be like at top tier with actual fughter aircraft.
Obviously stuff like those aren’t actually stealth but do have reduced RCS which would be a decent test for stealth.

We already have reduced RCS aircraft ingame, they just don’t seem to really model it unless it’s a full stealth jet

Perfect!
Although, i think, that Stealth will absolutely destroy top tier. Especially because not all nations have stealth. And when they have stealth, its most likely going to be artificially nerfed so the US and RU stay on top.
rotated to see better

I reckon after some time stealth will sort itself out in the matchmaker sort of like Fox-3’s, but yeah if we end up starting the addition of stealth fighters with just one or two then yeah it will suffer. Either it all comes at the same time or none of it comes, something as influential and game-changing as stealth 5th gens cannot be added piecemeal like 4th gens.

I think it will happen this way.
Just how some nations still dont have CAS, SPAA’s, 14.0 planes, heavy tanks > rank 3, etc…
The only thing that differs them from gen4 is stealth
Which is useless in WT due to the size of maps
Armament is worse, flight performance kinda the same
Though they did semi-learn with naval and everyone did get Rank 8s at the same time Just 1 was glaringly OP
