F-14D definetly doesnt fit the DCT event vibe at all
more the operation S.U.F.F.E.R events we dont have anymore or the Winter event now
dk if id call that a tank
armed Motorcycle Sidecar maybe with its size

except its worse at TVC than IRIS and worse at range than ASRAAM
There’s no way it has worse range than ashram. Normal mica em has 100km range, while the longest range figure for asraam I’ve seen was 50km. And mica ir shouldn’t have too much less range compared to mica em, I’m expecting something similar to r27et vs r27er
I wasn’t talking about the F-14D?
I was talking about the SU-47 give it’s pretty much just a demonstrator that is fairly popular would just about fit the idea of the DCT event. The F-14D could easily be SQN or TT
Iris t has worse maneuverability than 9x. (In game currently)
I’m not expecting it to be all that good
These are unfinished prototypes, not just demonstrators.
At least in a War Thunder context, the difference is that a prototype leads up to a planned production variant, while a demonstrator is a standalone thing. So for the prototype it may be added as intended with planned armament, while a demonstrator depends on if it was actually armed (Or if it could be armed? I don’t know anymore…)
For an example I could think of, the ATD-X was a technology demonstrator, and purely unarmed. While it was used for 5th gen F-X testing it doesn’t count as a prototype and wouldn’t be added.
But 5th gen F-X itself had notable progress towards an actual production variant, such as engines, TVC, radar, weapons bays, a fuselage secotion and more, so this might be considered an unfinished prototype.

Worse at range doesn’t mean better Top range
in a Headon fight the missile that Gets there Faster wins
and Mica isnt gonna do that, its booster does 100km yes but the seeker wont and the Impulse of the Booster isnt good enough for the short ranges well use it at in game
ASRAAM will outspeed it for the time it matters
IRIS wont, but IRIS can reliably hit you from angles the MICA cant achieve at all
Lmao
do I count 5 almost Identical suggestions in the same month Smin mentioned?
I think there is a misunderstanding here, when I was referring to “these tech demonstrators” I was talking about the Su-47 and other demonstrators like it (MiG 1.44/1.42, EAP, etc)
The TOG II and the XF5U definitely are unfinished prototypes and absolutely are fine in WT

Surface launched and Air launched Flight models for missiles are two pairs of shoes
AIM-9L in Air battles is MUCH stronger than on the SPAA
Just had too lol
So Kikka treatment…
I wonder of Su-47’s documents are unrestricted.
Yeah true.
Su-47 is just a weird choice. Iirc the suggestion passed on the basis that there may have been provisions for some very limited armament on the demostrator to be integrated in the future, but it’s still really weird.
By the same logic the EAP could be passed as well, which we know was denied.

Sure, then we pass just one of those and this topic spends a week theorycrafting that only 1 nation would ever get that type of iconic vehicle :)
A different kind of context entirely and that’s very clear.
