I can see that happening with something like F-22 and Su-57 which at least would have good FM, but F-35 without them is probably gonna be very bad and hence they might just give them as well.
And ASRAAM on British F-35
Firstly your thinking f35 has a bad flight model what is incredibly wrong lmao and that it would be the first 5th gens to come lmao and the Russians don’t have a iir missile or any actual next gen one lmao they just have a slightly improved r73
Aim-9L stock with mod for Aim-9M for F22 is gonna be lit🔥

Well the F-22 was denied for this year, so if 5th gen fighters are still coming this year the F-35 would be the only realisticoption for the US.
I honestly wouldn’t be suprised if this ends up happening.

They could do something like adding a “early” at first and a later f22 based on the hawaii upgrade
None said 5ths would come this year. They said at earliest mid 26. And the game is still missing so many things to make 5th possible.
YF-22 will be in that case, if we take MLU’s and various upgrades then expect a window with 3 or 4 units in it (all strictly compressed)
What would be the first 5th gen to be added to the game according to you then, the reason i think they will add it first is because it can be added to almost all nations except for China and Russia hence no one is left behind.
Also that is true, i did think it will have bad FM but i was also thinking about F-35 variants like F-35B and F-35C which don’t even have internal guns and would only and only carry 4 missiles if IIR missile are not given to them
My guess would be a early f22 and a cucked su57 china could get a j20 and update after could add others like j35 and the f35s
Let me just refer you to the hint from bvvd in this highlight translation post of the Russian dev stream by MineLo.

Has its advantages and disadvantages over the f35A
Thats still not saying theyll come lmao the game changes constantly
I don’t know any major advantage that F-35C will have over F-35A, can you tell me some?
From what i remember, it is only limited to 7.5G unlike F-35A which is limited to 9G hence it won’t be better at dogfighting either, it should also be slower then F-35A (it either had slower acceleration or lower top speed, i cannot remember)
Iirc it’s mainly energy retention but don’t quote me and the G limits in game don’t exactly mean much
Ok

I think one of the reasons we lacked IIR missiles after PARS a long time, next gen missiles lacking, or resulting copy paste sub tree spam is the current in-ability to model reliable heat seeking
In game logic uses the same TV missile guidance (tracks the middle of an object) and prints a user interface mask to make you think your missile really seeks heat. That is why your Spikes always aim the gun barrel, your AShM always aim the mast, not the surface level engine.
Very long time to wait for checks notes:
Su-35 and F-15EX
All the other 4.5 gens are upgrades on existing 4.5 models in-game (mainly just the newer versions of Rafale and JAS39E, IIRC).
Sensor fusion ✅
ECM 🚫
Reduced RCS 🚫
Enhanced flight models ✅*
AESA/PESA radar ✅
We’re just about there I think.
*
On a case-by-case basis, obviously. Some aircraft are better than most, but the improvement is there. Not everyone can scream across the map like Eurofighter or Rafale can
This is always going to be an ongoing thing. The big part is only a small portion of the community plays Sim (where stuff like this matters), so it’s not an end of the world priority.
I must be imagining the AIM-120C-5s being launched at me from 45-50 km then…
Ah! Something we can agree on, especially after the changes to missiles this patch. We will have to wait and see (spoiler: it will be like the first day Fox-3 missiles dropped for everyone where everyone drops likes flies in the first days) how everything meshes together. Of course, I predict a BR bump for a lot of aircraft, especially the ‘safe’ 14.0 aircraft like F-15E or Mirage 2000-5F or by some miracle, the Su-30s of 13.3. We may have even 2 sets of BR decompression by end of year.

Can’t agree with his statements of that far but this is also assuming they would just completely ignore ground and navel for every update lmao

One thing is for certain, Naval is getting at least 2 ships an update lol
He is right, there is even 3th gen aircraft that need to be added, and alot of 4th gen
