Okay, you don’t believe Oxy when he says F-22 isn’t coming this year at all. What makes you think it’ll come this year if you don’t mind me asking?
No they upgraded in their block 52 no ?
You do know that Buk will never be added right? Its a BUK M1 its never gonna work in warthunder so no
You can remove that bit lol
10.3 bais
? Why would it go there? Its just not a good option regardless of BR it wouldn’t work
It was a joke…
I already told you what makes me think that
On top of that, something that I’ve already mentioned a lot, an early F-22 wouldn’t even be a “crazy” addition, it would use the same missiles as the planes we currently have at top tier and a radar that is comparable to those our current top tier planes have
Also, Gaijin needs to keep generating hype somehow, even if we don’t fully enter 5th gen this year, there is no way that they wouldn’t add an F-22 this year
They planned to using the Block 70 upgrade kits which they were buying alongside new built Block 70’s but they decided not to buy the upgrade kits.
Although looking more into it it looks like they have very recently tested their own AESA radar on an F-16 now, the Murad 100A.

Good to know
We still have a whole final roster of late 4th gens that can be added in December of this year:
F-15EX
Su-35S
F-15SG
J-15T
J-16
Rafale F4.1
Mig-35
F/A-18E Super Hornet Block 3
Why would it make sense for 5th gens to come this year when these could be the December vehicles of 2026?
I’m not sure what you mean
I was just joking anyways lol
Spoiler
Well, I hope that it stays a joke and won’t turn into a prediction
Make it J-15T or J-16 honestly

The ammo used by the Finnish Buk is SARH only. No self tracking so if the radar loses lock the missiles misses. If the target flies low the missiles misses. If they turn slightly you get notched ect ect
The Finnish Buk M1 just can’t work in warthunder so it shouldn’t have been used in an argument of what will come to warthunder. Its why Russia never got the Buk M1 they had to get the later model to work in the current gameplay
I changed it and added both :))

It’s almost like there were loads of 3rd gen planes left to be added when the F-14 arrived
Or like there were still a bunch of 1st and 2nd gen planes left to be added when 3rd gen got into PD/MTI tech
Or like there were still tons of WW2 planes left to be added when jets were introduced
Gaijin never even remotely finishes a generation before introducing a new one
Also, what the heck would a Rafale 4.1 add that we don’t already have?
I rather have better Radar, two more PL-12 / PL-15 and better engines than a handful more CMs.
and it just comes down to J-15T being my most favourite Flanker…
Early 5th gen wont work against 4++ tbh
What was left before the F-14 got added?
