Won’t F-35C be weakest though?
At the same BR is funny lol
At most 5th gen will be .3 higher in which case current 14.7s will always be in a match with them anyways

i mean if both get raised to 15.3 min or hopefully higher
Eventually, sure. But gaijin has never raised the BR 2 steps up at once, only incrementally
they will have a couple updates to do that though no?
If by “couple” you mean the ones in between the December and ~April 2027 updates, sure. Gotta let those stats settle in first for the full picture before controversial stuff like BR decompression happens :p

Can only pray and hope planned game mode is good but of course we should have 0 expectations about it
Here is a comparison of f35c and f35b turn radius with load unknown. Source from X
f35c may have the better fm in some regimes over f35b but depends on how modeled in wt
True, but it is the only somewhat decent aircraft with AIM-120Ds.

I think this is the correct take.
The F22 will be piloted by dumdums who think its massive stealth in all aspects and will get lit up by IRST.
The F35 will have a better radar and integrated IRST to combat the F22. In addition to a FLIR pod that will give better awareness while radar is off.
F22 will be the new F-14 IRAF of BVR top tier, climb and sling and do some silly things at close range
F35 will be an all rounder and have a larger payload+more missiles
They’ll set the F22 as the early model without stealth wing weapon pods or upgraded radar
Give the israli and other faction F35 upgrades over the US one
We’ve seen that song and dance before it’s not new
I feel like hes not wrong though, sure when the meta was hmd slings you could disregard radar, but with everyone having much better situation awareness, the ability to properly datalink your missiles and not being stuck with a subpar amount of aim120crap5 i imagine the ef2k must not be the most fun right now

How though? They behave pretty much the same
The super hornet are playable, theyre missile busses which have a really easy time getting in a notch, they’re bad but they also are really really easy to play, i wouldnt disparage them, if the aim120d was more competitive they would be pretty decent.

It might be better at dogfight but it would have slower acceleration and hence it won’t be able to get into position
MCM bro
They retain energy significantly more efficiently
i wouldve taken that over a half assed 120D
J-20 will be better at BVR just because of its missiles
If it gets the new engines I’ve heard about it might also be a quite fast platform.

i dont think the first J-20 ingame will get those engines. realistically it will be the WS-10’s
