When is the Su-57 coming to War Thunder

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.

Some metadata details if interested

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.

I’m not a air battles main but the current compression makes it even worse.

i just remember the f86 dogfights

Looks like engine smoking to me, pretty crazy right.

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
