the whole point of the 4.5 getting 5th gen IIR missiles would be to close the gap in stealth if said stealth aircraft also get them then that gap reopens
so either they give 4.5 gens next gen IIR missiles and keep the 5th gens at the current IR missiles or they give everyone their 5th gens

Gaijin doesn’t accept renders
Also Scorpion has been seen with the F-22 so unless Gaijin does the old Early-Late trick (I hope not) then in-game it should get it.

They do if theres sources to back it up iirc
How does the gap open? Isn’t the effective range of almost every IR except maybe the MICA IR’s within the range where you could see the stealth jet on radar anyways?
You are all just going to whine about the F-35 being worse anyways
Buddy this is a game not a nationalism propaganda plateform, the goal is to achieve balance
So basically you want EVEN MORE powercreep when these jets get added? You want there to be no competetition outside of 5th gens you realize thats what youre asking for right?
Almost everyone got a 4th gen when they were added

maybe who knows since it could be delayed to only allow 3 nations 5th gens (when almost all nations in game have a 5th gen option) the only reason I can see someone saying the F-35 shouldnt come is they want to try and stomp as one of the only 5th gens
Almost everyone got the F-14? That’s news to me

That’s a joke, right?
Right?
No way they are considering the Su-47 after what they said about the EAP

of course he does, he also asked for 20 stormbreakers for the F-15E, Quartas doesn’t care about balance if it means the US is stomping lol

Su-30SM2 peeks around the corner
Genuinely cannot stand that thing
What I want doesn’t matter. One of the 5th gens (J-20) has no option but a next gen IR. Since it will probably get it I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the other 5th gens will also get next gen IR’s.
Go back a couple years and you could say the exact same thing about them not adding F-14’s and F-16’s to every tree.
What’s odd is that they said Singapore would become a split nation in the CM post after the backlash. Makes no sense to do a full-scale drop for a nation without a home, that’s just insulting.

There’s also tons of pictures of F-35’s of all nations with “Beast Mode” loadouts
Spoiler



Altough unable to find any with the Air-to-Air “Beast Mode” loadouts it’s clear the capability and planning is there which is more than enough for it to get it looking at what some other vehicles have gotten away with already.
USSR could get a Czech F-35 :)

yeah and 20 SPICE 250 for the I as well, if a light fighter can have 16 a strike aircraft should be allowed 20, it’s actually 28 for stormbreakers and SPICE since you can bring them on the wings
