I feel I should mention the Redback has an Australian turret, not the CRV’s turret, but I know what you mean.
One of the best things about getting the Redback would be it having Ironfist APS. It’d be interesting as well if they let us use the 40mm AGL on the RWS (the HEDP grenades have ~76mm pen iirc).

The list did say that Su-57, J-20, and F-22 would come together as the first drop, along with next gen missiles. If they are gimped it’s more likely to be in seeker (which would still be very strong) than kinematics
Did you not read the first part of my reply?
They are right for the most part. And you said that realistically only the US would get a 5th generation fighter but I don’t think thats very likely even though they can add it with the a2a weapons we have now. The F-15 came with the Su-27, F-16 with MiG-29, so why would F-22 come without its Eastern counterparts

The F-22 is trash, that’s why
Also, F-14 Electric Boogaloo

Which came with the MiG-23MLD. It would also not be well received for only 1 nation to get a 5th Gen even it if wasn’t that big of a balance issue
why not f35 first it has less missiles and worse FM
f14 and mld arent the same generation matter of fact they are 1.0 BR apart RN
I don’t remember the MiG-23 being a fourth gen or having ARHs
Yeah, but the F-22 can be added in an early form (like the F-14)

Very late 3rd gen vs. very early 4th gen.
And those ARH sucked a lot
It was approved but then denied after a few days because it couldn’t use any weapons, let alone without a radar
Therefore all of the weapon capabilities were made up
It did not, those were planned. It only had 2 rails which aren’t even confirmed to be for rails, but they are guaranteed not wired considering its a demonstrator
The Su-47 just had a weapons bay that can open and close. That is literally it. There was never a photo or something taken showing it having weapons.
The EAP at the very least did have mockups and possibly even actual combat systems added (thanks to Sebbo for the image), and possibly even did have tests, but in the end none of the 3 should come imo

Ah, aight
Yeah, I wasn’t entirely sure about the demonstrator. There apparently were 3 prototypes of the 1.42 though, which I imagine would have had provisions.
It’s hard to find anything about the 1.42s prototypes tho
I mean I guess but I just dont really see it happening anymore with what the leaks and official news has said. It would be nice but also a big balance concern later on like the F-16A
Well as Smin said to an addition “It was an highly requested aircraft”, so the EAP been a meme for months in here even up to a year at this point and the fact we got told no repeatedly and then this even having a discussion about is an insult
They should add Su47 with the condition that it gets no armament.

But let me guess, Su47 with KH38? It’s very possible Gaijin does this bs.
I don’t see why they would stop adding “early” variants of vehicles. The AESA Typhoons basically are what Gaijin would usually call “late” variants.
And, as we all should know by now, Gaijin not only loves to milk variants, they also have to do so now, as they are running out of modern content to add.
