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.
You’ll have to just take my word for it but having seen F-22 go from ground to aerobatics irl, i don’t really recall any time where it had a smoky exhaust like that one picture
