Over the past year of updates (through 9/2026), Gaijin has done pretty well back-filling several long-awaited missing airframes (e.g., F-101, F-102, IA-58, Yak-130/M-346, Tu-95, B-52, Ca-27, Hawk T.1, Ki-93, etc.). That said, there are still many notable airframes yet to be added.
This thread is my attempt to catalogue notable airframes (service and completed prototype) that still remain to be added. I am trying to be flexible with my definition of “unique airframe,” but in general I am looking for a noticeable structural difference. The F-15EX is a significant upgrade over the F-15E, but it looks pretty similar externally. Different turret arrangements on a bomber may or may not count?
Included in this list:
- Unique airframes
- Significant modifications to existing airframes. This is a tricky subject, but we’ll try to be flexible.
- Prototypes that were completed, even if they did not fly (e.g., Super Swift Type 545)
- Prototypes that flew, even if they did not have their intended avionics/armament
Not included in this list:
- Avionics/Equipment upgrades
- Weaponry upgrades
- Engine upgrades that didn’t require significant and noticeable structural modifications
- Airframes that exist in one tree but not another (e.g., Ju 86, which is present as the Swedish B 3]
- Partially completed prototypes
- Very light COIN aircraft
Please add to the list in the comments!
