Yeah, they opened it already for ships and will open it also more and for planes and tanks. More project vehicals will came for sure. Especially in a timeframe of five years. What would be the alternative, countless F16, Mig29 or Su27 sub varaints.
This year we had the flying pancake, next year the F16 XL and Su47 will follow. Hopefully the Mig 1.42 also.

Hasn’t stopped Gaijin before. The F-5C has a CM dispenser it never had, and the Yak-141 actually has a radar, IRST it never had and also weapons it never carried, it had the hardpoints but nothing was wired and it only carried mockups for flight tests. Also has a gun it never had.
The XF5U is flying when it never did IRL. The TOG II has an armour package it was never fitted with, only designed to have.
To Gaijin: It doesn’t matter if it actually carried them, just that it was demonstrated to have some. I remember coming across some images of the Su-47 with mockup missiles mounted in either the weapon’s bays or on wing pylons.
This is what events like the Winter event is made for or the Dreams Come True event like for the TOG II, which is to take an unfinished prototype and place it in the game in a “combat ready” status. Are there other vehicles that could be added instead? Sure.
Is this suggestion terrible? Yeah. But knowing Gaijin I am already way past complaining about it or caring. When it comes I’ll get it.

and the Yak-141 actually has a radar
Just to interject real quick, one of the prototypes did in fact have a radar, there’s footage of it’s installation.
and it’s SPO-15 shouldn’t be on there, iirc none of the prototypes had it fitted.

It looks like N010 in the video, what radar do you think it should have?

I think it got R-33 or something? don’t quote me, and it’s R-74.
It was never armed. Can’t really have anything if there isn’t even a singular photo of it having any type of weapon

Flankers got a KH38 missile that doesn’t exist. They can give the su47 missiles it never had.

The Kh-38ML exists, meanwhile the MT is just a mockup even with the new brochure
This is not comparable here however. The Su-47 on the other hand is a demonstrator. It is very likely not wired at all with any weapon, meaning it doesn’t only have proof of having no weapons, but most likely can’t even carry any weapons
It doesn’t even have a radar. That is just an empty radar cone with nothing inside, as no photo or similar things showed if anything is behind it
Imagine a tank that has no barrel or machine guns, doesn’t have a functioning turret mechanism and there isn’t even ammo for it. Not even sights. All it has is just place for a barrel but no electronics and such to power it
This would be the Su-47, aside from the fact it isn’t a tank. This is just a comparison

Was Su-47 an unarmed prototype as part of development to a planned armed version (like Yak-141) or was it just an unarmed demonstrator that was never meant to have a direct armed version (like EAP or ATD-X)?
I think this makes a really big difference, since unfinished prototypes aren’t anything new in game while pure demonstrators have been strongly denied by Gaijin in the past.
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
