Yeah, the Sea Lightning sadly never got past the model/drawing phase afaik

It was a demonstrator too iirc, with no intended service version, so for it to be on the table it’d need to be armed. (Unless we get Su-47, then I guess what matters is if it maybe could be armed, intended or not)

But if it was I’m all for it, the US tree could use many more of their more experimental aircraft to balance out the heavy exports found in other trees.

i mean there all built on vehicles that had weapons it only take some minor retooling to weaponize them

If the MTAV means we can get conformals/2 seat on a US F-16 im down lmao

Hell the MATV flew with sidewinders so it’s not too far a stretch. (Although dummy missiles by the looks of it it’s still more than the Su-47 ever had).

McDonnell Douglas F-15: Os outros – Cavok Brasil
F15 STOL MTD basically a F15B with fancy canards and TVC

again same thing as before just need radar and missiles installed which is possible since it was a armed F18
“NASA F-18 Hornet High Angle-of-Attack (Alpha) Research Vehicle (HARV ...

F4E basically just it was a reconsisnes model so it would need radar installed and it could be armed

Feel free to make a suggestion report for a new weapon if there is sufficient information. However this currently is not enough for anything.

idk why all acting crazy with the su47.

considering that gaijin use the rule of us/ussr counterpart addition, su47 is the most equiped to be a unique prototype addition just like the f16xl was 50% armed.

if y’all hate the su47 addition, what else unique prototype from russia / ussr can be added ? a man in a suit and tie is sitting in a chair with his hands in the air

It was atleast planned to be further armed if it was to enter service. The Su-47 was never planned for armaments from what can be found.

when it never mounted any a2a weapons, a2g weapons and had no radar to even guide radar guided missiles it shouldnt be fit to even be suggested thats the issue its in the exact same spot as other tech demonstrators like the EAP

i know but there is no better option for red side ?

cause youd have to make exceptions for both sides special treatment is not allowed

There doesn’t need to be options for all sides for stuff like this. What’s the F-16XL going to bring that Russia doesn’t already have?

Crazy idea, but how about planes like that don’t get added to the game?
