The russians really thought about war thunder when developing the Su-57

Because they were first to have them in real life

Well, we can just hope they release it into the game before some other countries will have them on service (orders doesn’t count, only actual jets in service).
So only Soviets get the Su-57 and the rest either with their own technologies, or F-35, but not Su-57
That makes zero sense because that’s not how it works in War Thunder lol.
You’ll have it when everybody has it
Also, bad can of worms to open…
At least F-22 was the first one and no one will have it but US

That’s true
Though each nation will have their own spice of F-35, so it’s not exactly copy paste
It’s up to debate which nations will have the best variants
Italians also use Meteors and US tested them at least, plus Gaijin can do the same thing as with Typhoons and play “technically possible” card.

Well there’s good reason no one else uses LDIRCM systems on fighters (i’ll give you a hint, they don’t work)
I’m assuming the british, german and italian F-35s will ship with Meteors and other Euro-ordinance that’s been proposed and at various stages of integration

Oh yeah forgot the get ASRAAMs as well, nice.
If they can slave to the EOTS then that’ll be a fairly devious strategy, inb4 stealth crossmap sniping with IR missiles

that’s kind of already the f22 when you think about it since its the only 5th gen with 8 internal missiles it would 1000% be the most meta 5th gen in war thunder
It’s War Thunder, so no they’re going to nerf it into the ground.
If balance is a concern, it certainly hasnt been at the forefront for a few updates now. The Rafale has pretty much been the meta since its introduction, with the Eurofighter/Typhoon being close seconds. The Russian Su-30 has been no slouch either in Air Sim, and France is often on RedFor. Now we have this new variant to contend with.
If we were being honest here, the US hasnt been in the meta since the F-14, which was added in June 2022 in case you don’t temember. So if any US main was pushing their nation to top dog status, you can hardly blame them going on 3 years of not being such. And you can’t even claim they’re the dominant CAS option at top tier with the questionable existence of the KH-38MT.
So yeah, Id be cool with the US keeping the US-made F-35 solo for at least an update.
Holy UK cope

Well, if the US doesn’t get Meteors because of Gaijin’s “tested” policy, it ain’t gonna be fun for them to fight with MIDraam’s.
Your never gonna be in a situation in 5gen aircraft where you can detect your target beyond the range of a aim120D, the F35 is both way slower and carries half the missiles of the F22 i assure you US players are not worried about the British F35
Yep, the british F35 could just use the IRST instead to get a far away ASRAAM shot, when the US f35 is limited to 9X’s.
