I think the F-22 will be a very lackluster jet unless you can carry more external ordnance. Especially when facing high-gimbal radars.
Unless missiles get much harder to notch, it won’t be meta.

Issue will be Fox-3s not being able to lock it until they’re 5km away or something
Which is what the F-117 is doing rn
I mean we’ve seen it flying with external amraams
and even if you only assume 2 of its 4 pylons can mount them its still 10 + 2 which is a very good missile load for in game
I doubt that. It will probably be picked up by most aesa radars at 30km or maybe slightly less
We are almost at the point where i agree.
Where else can the game go for air other than finally getting 21st-century missiles and “5th” gen airframes?
Im getting pretty tired of the best IR missile for NATO being from 1982 (AIM-9M) and sick to death of the MICA being the most OP missile in game.
IIR missile meta letsgooooo

If missiles remain unchanged, the F-15EX would be the best bird for USA players
idk about that
because currently a lot of top tier radars cant lock F117 until ~20km and some even less than that (iirc its sub 10km for the rafail)
so if they model the F22 as being more stealth than the current F117 it could be very good
and again, this also effects ARH missiles and widens the notch angles, so it will be a lot easier to defend in it
I mean… F-22 and F-35s reduced visability to radar may still force the meta more towards IR missiles nullifying carrying a million amraams (exception for MICA as that thing is blatantly overpowered)
that depends on assumptions gaijin makes
if the F22 gets external missiles on all of its pylons (like some early sources show) it will be able to carry the same 16 air to air missiles as F15EX if they dont give F15EX AMBER
We can’t expect that they will just copy paste the RCS of the F117 which is very badly modeled anyway. Stealth will get a rework with the introduction of modern stealth jets more likely than not.
its gaijin what do you expect them to do?
They will most likely rework that and add a bunch of gen 5’s in the same update, probably in the end of the year.
F-117 fixes are not a priority for gaijin because the thing is more of a meme than anything else, and it doesn’t affect the jets that face it
yeah thats expecting a lot more than they have done in the past for similar large additions
So you think they will add a 14.7+ jet that cant get locked past 5km range? Obviously not. If it was russian, maybe… but its not. So I don’t bet on it.
At most, you will have a broken F-22 in the dev server
most radars can lock f117 from further away than that
and do you really think they will test it thorougly? especially given they will most likely test it on russian radars which coincidentally have a much longer max range in game, and therefor can lock it from much further away
No, thats why I specified the dev server.
What I can see happening is all of the new stealth jets having a similar modeled RCS at first, which will be a melting pot because of the Su-57.
Gaijin: “You want to prove it is different? Where is your source?” -good luck
