I also want something like the B1 or the B-52 in game
It will come eventually, i say give or take a year or 2 or at least till we get some current modern jet like SU-35 or F-22.
only thing i found saying the F-117 could carry A2A missiles was Wikipedia mentioning an “F-117N”
edit: nvm i changed my search and a bunch of websites are saying the F-117 could carry just about everything except the Aim-7 because the Nighthawk doesn’t have a radar
According to the retired F-117 driver and commercial airline pilot, no, the Nighthawk never actually had air-to-air combat as an operational mission. It wasn’t trained for by F-117 crews and the aircraft were not really configured for it in any meaningful way.
Yea no, read it further here:

well i guess a bunch of these sites have sketchy sources then
The X-29 or F-16SWF is an option

X-29 was built purely for testing purposes, the forward-swept wing F-16 was just a proposed concept that never materialized. imo it would be better if Gaijin stuck to vehicles that actually existed and would’ve had the capability to carry weapons unlike the X-29
Yes…
If:
I mean, yeah, but didn’t your guys in America just the the F-20, which was a prototype, and never serviced or fielded?
As far as I remember, a version was offered to the USAF with this configuration, but it was discarded, since the F-22 would perform its intended function.
The Su-37 would be realistic and could be added before the su-27m’s As it was a testbed for the su-27m
The critical difference is that the Yak-141 was intended to be a fighter. The X-29 was pure research and never had any intent of having weapons.

Except one was a prototype that didn’t even have it gun fitted before cancellation and the other is a fully built, tested and working plane which was cancelled due to no buyers
Kinda flawed comparison ngl
Not really, the F-20 flew, and had a planned armament, and was ready to be accepted, however the F-16 took its place, and never entered service. Just like the SU-47.
F-20 competed against a pretty watered down F-16A, it was designed for export and was built to be inferior, theres plenty of pictures showing multiple air frames carrying all the standard weapons of the time. I just think we got it way too soon as a premium but i really wanted it in the normal tech tree.
I don’t remember if the Su-47 had a planned armament since the program it competed in against with the Mig 1.44 was “repurposed” after the Su-47 won and the USSR fell.
i thought it couldnt carry any weapons?
from what I know the Berkut never did but I think at the very least it did have functional weapons bays in the fuselage. I’m sure if it did have weapons it would also have pylons under the wings

It’s just a 3rd gen (or 4th for export) engine, ALR-69, and the fuel load is about the same apart from CFTs.
Better radar is an understatement, it has a direct AESA modernization.
It’s a 16C on a double dose of steroids, that’s why domestic 16V modernizations are considered ++s.
