in game, within certain camera conditions (aperture, angle, background, etc) it looks like an otherworldly aquatic creature to me. yeah, moving onto the su-27 from the mig-29 was a massive jump back in 2024. additionally, I dislike every su-27 with canards because the overall shape is ruined.
Spoiler
as you can see, the nose gently flows towards the wings until a certain point. this creates a type of aesthetic only the Eiffel Tower matches (in fact, they look very similar) canards and the metal for their installation ruin this.
Spoiler
at least there is a benefit: su-33 and similar flankers remind me of covenant technology from Halo, for some reason.
lastly, I do not consider su-35 to be more beautiful than its father because its nose is shorter.

Yeah to be fair Eurofighter from any angle that isn’t front on might be the best thing ever to exist. Practical, Powerful, Purposeful and Predatory…

Always found it funny how one of the crew members basically sits in the radome xD
F-15 looks good every angle
It does look good, but that’s because it is unambitious/a touch basic by todays standards. Hence why the F-22 looks infinitely better.
Good for the time of the design though
Well tbf it set the standards as the best fighter of the cold war. So ofc it’s going to look kind of basic
F-22 looks good but overall I find the F-15 to look nicer, especially strike eagle and advanced eagle series
stealth fighter photography is, evidently, rocket science. how do they even get these shots? is superman helping them out?

you can see where they cut off the nose, the second pilot cockpit is practically a replacement for the radar
