It’s likely because it only happens under certain engine power settings, with afterburner off. So the occurrence is rare.
As I’ve said, smoke like this can only really be seen at very close range, it really doesn’t matter at that point.
Engine smoke shouldn’t be relevant when discussing the capabilities of a fighter.
we talking about the Russian slightly bigger F-22 raptor that was first flown 8 years after the F-22?
Also to the 6th gen Chinese aircraft nothing about it’s demonstration screams 6th gen it’s more like a botched attempted at making a fighter B-2
Being bigger doesn’t ncessarily mean it has worse RCS, that’s a misunderstanding in how RCS works from your part.
What it shoots? Any ordinances? Air-to-ground weapons? How can players defeat it? A lot of questions with vague answers.
The War Thunder’s environment isnt ready for such addition. Currently BR 13.0 to BR 14.0, specially BR 13.3 is already way too much compressed. Gaijin may secure everything before such step.
I think it’s color corrected quite a lot, but it’s also taken from the back so will show a lot more of the engine trail than otherwise seen. those wing vortices look correct though.
This video shows a similar darker trail (although WAY less vissible) and the vortexes in the first 1-2 seconds.
Here is a second video that shows the same thing at 4 seconds in:
Edit:
Yeah, i checked the original image discussed and it has been photoshopped (in the sense of adjusting colors, shadows and such). So the trail is there just not nearly as visible in normal conditions.
Are you telling me independence day is not a documentation ?
My life is a lie.
I hope not, since even the 3rd Gen Jet Fighters are still a mess…
tbh i dont think this game was ready for any fox 3’s
thats what i expected.
And it was photoshopped. When is the Su-57 coming to War Thunder - #83 by Necronomica
Who would do something like that
obviously the guy who took it did, since necronomica proved it was altered.
me when I don’t understand photo manipulation and color grading
If I were to show these images and than this one:
It would almost be as if I was trying to propel some sort of biased narrative about the quality of one specific fighter…
On the plus side, we now know that 2nd lieutenants like to use photoshop.
and that i can tell when something has been altered from a simple glance :)
Are these altered too Mr. Wizard?
i dont know, you should use some of that brainpower of yours and figure it out.
