Not sure how much no gun will hinder this jet, but still want it in game.
The problem is that this plane would be terrible to fly,planes with such wings go into spins on their own, It is also worth mentioning that when we approach high speed,the wingtips lift up or down and the plane falls apart and there is nothing you can do about it,when turning, the plane can simply sleep, so apart from its appearance, it is not suitable for wt,The same applies to the x-29,such planes are good at low speeds, i.e. br 8.0-9.0, because there is no other option.
… And the more recent one would be the Yak-41.

The last boss when it comes to turn fighters. I wonder if they’d actually give this aircraft the R-77PD, I don’t know if it was even tested or produced. They’d probably have to settle for the R-77-1.

If we know what it would be armed with and the specs it can reasonably be added, we could get a lot of cool prototypes this way if we get the Bermuda I would love to see the YF-23 black widow

Will this thing fly like a brick like the rest of Russian aircraft at top tier ?
Doesn’t matter when you have to weapons to attack with.

it does matter su-27 and the mig 29 suck at high alt they don’t retain energy to notch radar missiles
It doesn’t matter what the flight performance is like when you have no radar, no RWR, no gun, and no guided or unguided air to air or air to ground ordinance.

gaijin gave the yak 141 missiles and avionics this is a non issue

And they said they would not do it again. If they add this then we are going to hard push for several unfinished projects. EAP, F-16XL… I can’t think of anything else.

It would just be the Yak-141 all over again…
“When YF-23???”, is basically the next step
Difference is that the YF-23 actually had avionics and provisions for weapons. This is just a tech demo that was never armed nor intended to be.

+1, a very iconic Russian Aircraft with forward swept wings, sign me up.
Source?
Link to it preferably.
The Yak 141 was also meant to be a production aircraft, it got what it would have had if it were to enter service
whereas the Su-47 is a Tech demonstrator not meant to go into full service, like the EAP which Gaijin has denied it will be added, the Su-47 is no different

It came to me in a dream.
On a serious note I might be misremembering. I think it was related to the EAP in the RRD thread.

Going to refrain from mentioning EAP. However here is the source.
