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
Yeah… the Russian one, which was never build and from which the stats came in a dream of Gromvoinny.
If the F-22 comes around with 14 + 2 missile load (8 internal) alongside the flight performance, radar and low RCS it provides, F-35 is exactly what’s needed.
It’s slower and less agile, but has a comparable 12/14 + 2 missile load (4-6 internal), HMD and better radar to male up for the comparatively a bit worse RCS.
That’s not everything an F-35 is in reality, sure, but it’s what 7/10 nations need to compete.

Hopefully after the rush to tip tier they will start to fill in all the gaps in the TT’s. Since it’s clear that going into modern day territory is the priority.
Where are you getting 12+2 for the F-35?
Which they shouldn’t have done IMHO.
There is always content.
Or atleast, separate the WWII-Korean war with cold war and modern era.
