Huh?
Most warthunder players can barely take off and land successfully and where would you put these tankers if you intend to add 400km A2A missiles
Basically only realistic thing in your list we’ll see before 5th gens is IIR missiles and more 4.5gens. The rest will likely never happen

KF-21 initially is a 4.5th generation aircraft. Only later Blocks that from what I understand don’t exist yet will receive internal weapons bays and more optimised stealth performance to become a proper 5th gen.
I could see ECM in some way happening as Gaijin did hint at wanting some new features before 5th gen as well.
4,000km away /j
The KF-21 is still very much a stealth oriented jet, I don’t think it would get different treatment compared to the other stealth jets.
And yeah EW seems plausible enough but i wonder how they’ll implement it

I’m hoping for the MiG-33
we need more fulcrums :)
MiG-35 would be great too, only issue is that it’s got 32 CMs and we don’t have ECM yet.
what I really want is the MiG-29M 9-41SM :)
Im hoping we get the is7 and the object 292 and the object 279 especially since us console users dont have access to the market
revert the aiming change in naval arcade … for a start
there is no other change as easy that would please as many players
The proposed 5th gen version is the KF21EX. AFAIK there hasn’t been a final decision on whether or not SK wants to procure/develop it yet.

The only distinction between the PL-15E and PL-15 lies in their software systems, while the PL-12AE shares an identically sized rocket motor with the PL-15(E). This configuration means the PL-12AE delivers slightly higher total impulse than the PL-15 due to the absence of dual-pulse segmentation baffles.

So from my quite limited understanding of A2A missiles the PL-12AE is more optimized for close-medium ranges compared to the PL-15E even tho they share the same rocket motor?
This would mainly be due to the lack of a dual pulse functionality and less aerodynamic nose cone and larger fins. Since both missiles share almost identical dimensions and weight with a few minor discrepancies.
Correct?
