It’s a fifth gen jet meant for export market.

oh fair enough

J-35 isn’t finished yet, can’t be implemented
Su-75 idem
KF-21 idem
TAI KAAN idem
And when I said F-35s everywhere it’s for a good reason: out of 10 nations, 8 can have at least one F-35

What about FC-31?

Only at development stage as well

The first 5th generation fighter aircraft, and pure air superiority fighter

Without AIM-9X (Blk 1) and JHMCS, and zero Air-to-Ground munitions

Block 30/35 or Block 40, or MLU ?

F-35B early (Block 2B)

11 nations in war thunder

Isnt FC-31 and J-35 the same? FC-31 being the designation used by the Manufacturer while it was a private venture and J-35 the PLA designation once they became interested.

Ngl I really hope Turkey be a sub for Germany, mailny due to Modern stuff like these would really help

I suppose gajin might add F-35A & F-35B from USAF, USMC and JASDF before RN, RAAF, DEU, FiAF, RNLAF, RNoAF, MM and RoAF

But F-22A worse F-35 Block 2B

J-20 in 2017 - 2018 with russian engine (AL-31FM2) ?

They will enter service soonish. You cried about lack of diversity and i gave some extra airframes. Im sure theyll eventually get added

Well they could always just add F-35 to US, UK (actually did something in the “multinational” JSF program), and Israel (on account of the F-35I)

That would keep things more varied

I highly doubt that, all nations will get their F35s at the same time look at the F16s or the F15s whenever a new standered came out pretty much everyone that had a variant also got theirs

i doubt it since then they would be intentionally cucking germany, italy and japan and everyone else who wouldnt get theirs

Depends on gaijin and what additions the nations just got. I mean as it stands right now we could see some nations get their F-35’s later if they receive a end of the line fighter an update or 2 before the F-35. It wouldn’t suprise me if gaijin also decides to only add them to the US at the start but i feel its a far less likely outcome then any of the other options ive listed.

FC-31 iirc is a more early variant, as for J-35, it is finished, even flew, however only the J-35A was shown with weapons (well, displayed) around Zhuhai 2024

Germany and Italy have late typhoons, Japan has the F-15 JSI, Sweden wanted Gripen E over F-35 so they can have those, France wanted Rafale’s over the F-35 so they can get more of those

Eh, the YF-22 flew and fired weapons but I would hardly call it a finished aircraft.

Unless you mean J-35 is in service

if the nation has the plane they will get it, that is just how its gonna go

Adding it to US, UK, and Israel only is a solution for lack of variety in future top tier
