Hypothetically speaking…
F-22 lower BR than F-35? For Ground RB it’s a maybe. For Air RB … F-22 will just destroy F-35 in any scenario.
Also, F-35C premium?
That’s the Navy variant… and it has differencies with the other 2 as well and in flight performance.
All F-35s are TT.
B-2 Spirit isn’t even a 5th gen.
B-21 shouldn’t be premium as well. If anything it still is in testing phase.

I would also like to make some comments on the F-22 only being 1 BR step above current maximum… but given Gaijins history it’s not an impossibility.

F-35A be best prem while the B and C go TT and the 22 will cover where the 35A would be
If you want to create a suggestion you can do so in the suggestion section here on the forum. That section is however pre-moderated and only posts that follow their rules and guidelines will get posted and it can take a couple of weeks for a post to get reviewed for publication. If it gets accepted and made public it then has a chance to get sent to the developers as a suggestion later on.

Yes we need premium F-35s so people who would qualify for being clinically brain dead could zomb with it.
We need to enable further erosion of playerbase skill by allowing them to zomb but at the same time not changing the ARB format in a way that would make bombing ground targets viable.

To be honest I just hope none of them is premium, but if they really have to pick one it shouldn’t be the C. The F-35C is the only one that isn’t exported, so the only one that’d be exclusive to the US.
It’s really between the A and B, where the A would be better performance wise while the B is more unique, so both have their reasons to be techtree over premium. Ideally they’d just make the premium an earlier Block F-35A/B like a Block 3 with techtree Block 4 though, or just not have a premium for what’s pretty much the last rank anyways.
If they make F-35C premium, i will lose my mind, however i don’t think they will do that. YF-23 or X-32 would most likely be the premium instead of any of the F-35. They also don’t add top rank premium vehicle

F-22s systems are outdated, its stealth is overrated but the F-35 has a level of sensor fusion that far outclasses the raptor. only loses in terms of thrust and ACM, otherwise F-35 mogs raptor.

I read somewhere on the forum that you can only create a suggestion if you are 18 or older, and I am under 18
It would really depend on what they would add. F-22 are currently being upgraded to have most of the tech that F-35 has. Also while I agree that F-35 would have better sensor fusion and tech irl, but in war thunder most of that thing won’t matter. Most games just end up WVR (Hence even stealth won’t matter) and dogfighting, the criteria where F-22 mogs F-35. Matter of fact, F-35 is going to be mogged by most 4.5 gen let alone other 5th gen
F-22 thanks to superior acceleration and TWR, would also be able to get into better position during that start of the match and hence would be able to launch missile with greater velocity.
As for stealth, I do belive the number circulated around about RCS is way too low, but i still do believe it is more stealth then other 5th gen. Also F-35 would have to scarifies its stealth a little bit to carry 9X as 9X cannot be carried internally. Not to mention that variants like F-35C and F-35B would also require you to carry external gun pods
The missile count on F-35 is also lower then F-22 with 4 internally placed AMRAAMS and 2 externally placed 9X,
TL;DR, While F-35 is currently more technically advance in real life (for now), it would probably would be worse then F-22 in game considering how the game is currently

I put the F-35 in a higher tier than the F-22 because it is more advanced in real life
Makes sense,

in which F-35 (idr which versions are VTOL) can give the Raptor a run for its money in terms of ITR. (yak 141 moments)
never heard this before, does it only have 1 IWB? and is it only compatible with MRAAMs?
also what about usability as a whole in terms of multirole etc as well as RWR and radar?
i think the lightnening would beat the raptor.
I think if Gaijin adds the F-35 to the usa, they will probably also add the F-35I to Israel
This is only true for the 9X block 1 missiles. Block 2 has LOAL and can be carried inside.
If Gaijin adds the 35, it would need to go to Germany, England, Norway, Israel, Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, South Korea and Singapore.
No has two IWB
And accordioning to this it can only carry two 9X outside and not in IWB
Both have spherical RWR so should be equal in that, I cannot compare radar though. F-35 could be better in multirole
Never heard about it, I know Block 2 has LOAL but not about it being carried inside. Do you have source to back up your claim?
They will add it to all nations expect for Russia and China. US won’t be the only one getting it
IIRC the only reason it could carry them externally was due to 9X seeker limitations, which are no longer there in the Block 2. Unless its a hardware problem like wiring which prevents internal weapons bay stowage. Only justifiable reason now is because it isn’t mission feasible to reduce the number of Fox-3 in the IWB. Worth noting the Block 2 gets fed targeting data through a similar data link that was derived from the AMRAAM. So unless there’s a hard limitation on the 9X, it should be able to carry them internally now with the Block 2 iteration.
China could get them through Singapore in the TT because IIRC Singapore is going to be a subtree in China.
spherical yes, but in terms of range, Bandwidth etc
That’s with a little search.
Also, it has better all-aspect stealth than F-35.
Raptor will bring upgrades on par with F-35 in electronics and can outperform it in any WVR scenario.
Also, their role is kinda very different.
Raptor is a superiority fighter . F-35 is a multirole with emphasis on strike missions.
If it wasn’t for stealth , it’s very likely F-35 would get it’s azz handed to it by F-15EX or even F-16 PoBIT…
But it’s role alone make it unique and non comparable to any of them so… It’s a very good plane for what it was designed to do.
