Now Is the Right Time to Introduce the F-22 into War Thunder

let the devs cook then we critique the meal

BVVD will decide when the time is right to start cooking the 5th gen

ECM will be in my guess be saving 4.5 gen

cant tell a chef how to cook nor can you try to critique about how the meal wont be good unless its done

In the current air meta, the F-22 will be highly mediocre yeah
It’s strength will be closing the distance but once you get there, you have what, 6 amraams and no HMD paired with a non gimballed, vintage AESA. It’ll be competitive but very underwhelming provided the hype, and i mean the only way it’s going to be top dog is with a full external payload (degrading its stealth heavily) and with whatever avionics upgrades have been done in the last couple of years, like the HMD.

Tested in early/mid 2010’s so we could definitely get it the same way French Rafale F3R got scorpion

I think they will add some more modern variant. Like the F-16C and F-15C, we didn’t get the early versions.

Not sure why you’re chiming in, you’ll end up with a 0.5 k/d regardless of how strong the raptor is

If they didn’t, it would have worse missiles than current top tier US

average reaction of a triggered person just know nothing you say or do will change how 5th gen come and work in game let that sink in:)

4 months ago atleast idk I can back up everything here unless its a joke lets not use outdated data can we?

who wants block 10 f22 when we have J20 they will only be equal in the higher blocks later additions but I’m guessing J20 will be best 5th gen side by side with f35

If you’ve got a reputation for making uninformed takes, and proceed to type another one in this thread, best believe i’m going to bring you up on it.

what are you going to do about it be a bug till I stop typing at least grow up ATLEAST

funny. you might wanna take up on your own advice.

This entire post screams AI. Also without the RCS making it invisible it’s literally a worse F-16 :/

it would be equal or better than the F-15EX without stealth since there would be nothing stopping you from taking external missiles

Wasn’t aware the F-22 even could. I thought it was limited to x6 AIM-120D-5/AIM-9X in the weapons bay

only single loaded in this picture but thats a double AMRAAM rack, and it has the inboard stations as well.

even internal its 6x AIM-120C/D and 2x AIM-9M/X

and even with the same missile count F-22 would be way better than F-16 due to the crazy flight performance

it can supercruise faster than the rafails IRL top speed, and has a fairly high top speed along with insane acceleration and turn performance

I just remember it weighing a fuck ton. I should re-read up on the F-22. Thanks for bringing this to my attention
