Personally I think the game definitely needs this addition because all the new top tiers are just better variants of older aircraft. What do you think though?
We need new missiles and larger maps before 5th gen is added. So a couple more months or a year later.

I think 5th gen aircraft would perform really well in Sim maps but in air rb probably not as much since they are much smaller. Also I feel like better objectives than just killing other players of capturing a point would make it way more fun for everyone.
They first need to fix few things like larger map, new missile and remove name tags. I would want EW to be added before 5th gen and AWACS system (which is very unlikely to happen)

Won’t change for objectives, killing players is the fastest way to end games which mean players get to play more games which means more profit for gaijin.

once we reach 5th gen - its over dude, there is nothing more to add
gaijin is way too hasty with new top tier additions

its also going to be copyslop central since basically everyone uses the f-35

I agree, all the matches will be F-35 vs Su-57. Unless they allow missile datalink between players. Then F-35 in the front and missile buses like the super hornet in the back.

F35 will probably get nerfed into the ground. My guess is that stealth will barely even work and they will find some way to make the su57 stealthier than the f35

All of that really depends on how Gaijin models stealth and whether they increase map size. If stealth stays similar to how it is rn with the F117 then im not sure if its beneficial enough compared to the advantages late 4.5 gen fighters have

Stealth will be extremely hard to code. In game we don’t even have radar returns being stronger when the plane shows an underbelly or the top. Just like Gaijin denying the terminator’s internal belt, they will pull some BS for the Su-57 to be better than the F-35 for “balance”.

why would you need larger maps for 5th gen than 4.5 gen when they have lower detection ranges.
They will make the su57 the equivalent to a ufo. Take for instance the su30sm, its like a ufo, in real life thats impossible because the engine would choke out and the pilot would die. The su57 is based of the su27 airframe but watch it be 100x more maneuverable and get 30 r77s

That will be Gaijin’s way of “coding” stealth. And we just need bigger maps anyways.
for top tier i think the EC maps are already the perfect size
The missiles. Also stealth gets progressively worse as it gets closer to the radar since the beams dont have enough time to scatter. Also IR missiles work at close ranges on them because of the engines still being very hot and the plane itself warming up
alright don’t complain when they add missiles like the METEOR.

we have been through this before as long as a missile is notchable max range kinda doesn’t matter, no one is just gonna sit there and wait for a missile 80km away to fly over and kill them for free
Personally, before 5th Gen can even be considered, an overhaul of whats already in game needs to be done. There are so many dodgy flight models, inconsistent missiles (aim120 for example), massive compression issues etc. This all needs to be addressed in my opinion before 5th Gen could be considered viable in game.
