An aircraft we absolutely don’t need. There are far more useful and enjoyable vehicles that could be added to the game instead. I even find it strange that this cool prototype is receiving so much attention like this. I am against adding prototypes that never even entered production to the game. What makes War Thunder truly loved is its ability to balance realism and arcade mechanics effectively. Additions like this turn the game into a fantasy experience. Such unnecessary additions, made solely to satisfy the personal preferences of a few individuals, bring no value to the game.

Such as?.. Like, cmon, there’s nothing much left beyond already known MiG-29 and Su-27 (with it forked FM). Only thing left is MiG-25/MiG-31 with (I highly doubt) other interceptors such as Yak-28P, Su-15 and Tu-128

would actually be the perfect event vehicle
Never actually was used or mass produced, a couple were made and proven to fly, extremely unique, iconic in some senses.

As an event vehicle, when?

I’d like it as a squadron vehicle, like the F-117
Really cool fighter that probably wouldn’t fit the researchable tree

Where did you get that information? What wingtip hardpoints, it’s not a Flanker and was never seen with any external hardpoint.

Would have been great if they didn’t forget to put missiles on it
they didn’t forget, they never planned to… It was a technology demonstrator that tested both the reverse swept wings concept and the new tech that would later be integrated to flankers and others aircrafts
It wasn’t gonna be a combat aircraft
If gaijin ever adds it, they’re gonna need some imagination to arm it

Together with the EAP, F-16XL, F-15STOL/MTD/ ACTIVE and so on.

if they do add su-47 it would be an excellent fighter to dog fight tho 15.0 is a good spot for it
Nah, 15.0 is too far. Even if they add I doubt they will also give huge missile load to compensate. At very best 14.0 if it gets advanced ARH missiles (which is doubtful)
yea true but they are probably going to do another decompression so i put at 15.0 so it could still be balance tho
This would require for decompression to jump 2 whole BRs, which I doubt will happen any time soon (especially with growing gap between ground BRs and air)
yall can have this after F-14D im tired of waiting +1
