Will stealth aircraft come to warthunder

Yep, and even the nations that get F-35. its built for CAS, not dogfighting. So even they’d be outclassed by other aircraft

35

It’ll be BVR only at that point. Pretty boring without even a chance of some fun dogfights.

36

I’m sure they’ll gimp the F-22 and buff the Russian fighters to make it an “even” contest.

Eh in WVR the SU-57 might actually be pretty good, not sure about everything else though, I find stealth aircraft to be profoundly boring, takes everything cool about fighter jets and throws it down the drain for me.

38

In general, the less I have to think about RCS the better.

39

It would be better in bvr and actually has a hmd unlike f22

The British one may even have better missiles

40

True, though lets face it. No way they add Meteor without adding something better to the US and USSR trees

41

Aim260 and im not sure about russia

42

I agree. It’s why I’m looking forward to the Typhoon - EF is the peak of dogfighting prowess, and even after GJN take their Russian nerf-bat to it, it should still be pretty fun.

R-37M has a range of 200km but when I googled only around 22g overload which is only like AIM-9J level.

44

Im not worried about the EFT i just that gunjob will make sure its correct

45

The moment that gets teased, we need make sure both Gunjob and Flame have plenty of coffee

I have heard that R-37 was originally designed to knock out things like AWACS and tankers beyond the range of their escorts. I think they are capable of taking on smaller aircraft as well, but Meteor is a lot stronger

47

The gap was bigger in 2022 when DCS didn’t even simulate air density, landings, or flight models to the level of WT.
And DCS has a lot of missing features still that WT has, and WT lacks RCS functionality currently tho it’s being worked on.

48

You mean the plane that needed an escort to fire cruise missiles that missed the target by miles? That one? xD

R-37M holds the world record kill on a Flanker

50

or the danish f35 which already has arrived to the RDAF

51

15 years from now.

52

Source?

Since DCS simulates things which the WT never heard of… so I’m curious…
