It’s a quiet limited amount of knowledge out there that’s readily available, as it was flown once, only one prototype was built, and it never saw combat.

Same approach as the rafale minimizing rcs here and there where applicable
Indeed
yeah more CAS against tanks… 😒
Anyone who believes that either genuinely is doing a Senator Armstrong or has no idea what makes something low observability ot not
Also, as you pointed out, this thing is all external stores. To be stealthy you’d need to run a Gun and a Gun only. If that’s internally fitted, of course
Straight through
Just like the Su-57 has it “straight through”
That Raptor Slayer looks awesome, so I want it!

Despite practically 0 chances of this to appear, I personally wouldn’t mind one day. Plus not being a proper 5th gen (stealth capabilities or, at very least, reduced radar signature is a requirement after all) would make it easier to model, so Gaijin wouldn’t need to invent whole new system for it
this is definitely a plot to get someone to leak actual f22 data just to prove this dude wrong

No, the MiG-1.44 was developed when stealth was very new and nobody really had any idea of how it worked.
The Su-35 and MiG-1.44 use the same engines
I can see straight through that
EDIT: Meant to say Su -35 not Su-34 sorry

Let’s not add more things to the game that never carried weapons. Or things that never existed/partial prototypes (i’m looking at you Ho-Ri). I understand that people want all types of cool planes in this game. But adding something and slapping weapons on it that “it could’ve maybe carried” is a no go for me.

Oh wow it’s an overused meme that doesn’t take into account pilot training or even who they fought against. Some MiG-29 kills were against other MiG-29s.

Shhh, dont take away their fun and the sense of superiority (and dont ask which “MiG-23” in the stats are)

Exactly, it’s not the plane, it’s its pilot. The MiG-23 is more or less an “interceptor” and meant to be flown and positioned in a way that puts it in a tactical advantage, which took time learning and training for too.
Yeah that’s… what I said?
They should get the Mikoyan MiG-25 first aka the world’s 2nd fastest Jet Interceptor!

This tbh. Personally really wish for addition of 25 and 31 (especially MiG-31 for “It cant fly low, it doesnt even have a gun!” wouldn’t work on it)

And how many of the US aircraft have outstanding BVR capabilities compared to these, decades old Soviet aircraft?
couldn’t they just add a “20 mm GSh-23L cannon on the sides”?
