But what about a $100 premium that sells like wildfire
pleas no, thta can be YF-22
eh ive heard tranche 4 EFT can put a fight against F-22, and since F-22 was made as respose to initial flankers and fulcrums, the heavily modernized one like J-16 and Su-30SM2 should be good enough\
also since rafale and EFT beat F-22 and both are ingame it should be no issue to add F-22 asap

I mean if you want to admit that the SU-57 and J-20 are better than the F-22 that is your business. But updates like that usually have themes and a stealth trio would be a great theme
as long as F-22 comes as soon as possible i will say whatever is necesarry

It will not, so try and tell the truth :)
yeah your not wrong about trio thing
but i think F-35 is the one that should be coming with J-20 and Su-57, as its more of their contemporary than aging F-22
Sure, then we get the F-35, J-20, and SU-57 so everyone has a 5th Gen and then the F-22 can come a little later as a premium
no, F-35A in F-16 line, F-35B attacker line, F-35C navy line, F-22 in F-15C line

I think this can be considered brainrot lol
Sounds like propaganda the US havent even decided on the requirements for NGAD. Likely flown some test aircraft for the powerplants.
They have no international partners keen to develop with them. Europe after being burned by F-35 weapon integration delays.
Japan, UK and Italy are developing Tempest
France, Sweden and Germany all exploring partnerships.
The NGAD as reported will destroy the US procurement budget.

I’m kidding about the premium, but I don’t see the F-22 coming earlier than other 5th gens like they did with the F-14, it was a cool update, but really bad for game balance.
I do think an F-22 and SU-57 at a minimum, J-20 could come later as tbh I trust the Chinese more than the Russians when it comes to 5th gen, so maybe J-20 and F-35 could come a patch or two later
they only just did the requirement revisit recentkly this year
4 year ago its realistic to have a prototype
remember, 15 years from YF-22 to F-22 introduced so its more than possible
That’s your opinion, I could say the chinese 6th gen is only a shell and has the avionics of a 4th gen, and all of those videos are only propaganda because it isn’t really a 6th gen if it has outdated avionics.
What can I tell you more? The NGAD has flown 4 years before the Chinese 6th gen, not matter how mad this can make people, it’s just a fact.
Hasn’t flown yet, this could all be propaganda too.
top gun 3 about F-22, force them to drop F-22 early?
ad yeah, chinese have J-16 and J-10C to keep them going during F-22, then they can get J-20
I dont doubt they have something, but i doubt its even close to what NGAD will eventually become.
Im looking forward to how they maintain RAM coatings whilw flying at Mach 6.0

i mean tbh YF-23 had cockpit based on F-15, wheels from F-18, you are probably right but it doesnt mean that much if they use older gen stuff for prototypes
Top Gun is navy so best bet it would be the F-35 xD
I dont believe thats a 6 gen airframe either
Looks more like an S-70/Loyal wingman drone
Rather than a Gen 6 aircraft.
probably an airframe/engine demonstrator like YF-22 and 23, maybe limited aam firing capabiity
