Could be boring given that basically all of NATO would get the F35, so only thing left is Russia and China. Most other stealth aircraft like the J-20 and SU-57 are multi-role with the F-22 purpose built interceptor.
First of all, they cannot put in vehicles that the necessary information for, is mostly classified/sensitive.
Also top tier aircraft are arguably even more advanced piece of weaponry than top tier tanks, so they are likely even more closely guarded, which means less usable documents and worse consequences for leaking information about them by implementing them based on sensitive documents.
Now, given the development of war in Ukraine, relations between USA and China and consequently countries drastically increasing budget for their military, its possible that development of war machinery is going to speed up, which will make current tech obsolete more quickly and its declassified enough to the point where it can start to be safely implemented into the game.
Regarding oldest stealth stuff like F-117 Nighthawk, depends on how much info is already publicly available.
HHaha funny
Here’s all the information they need to replicate F-35:
Radar, it’s AESA which is a surprisingly open standard.
RCS, an estimate.
And flight model.
That’s all they need to simulate it.
They don’t need to know the materials, or subsystems.
They’ve already been in the game for years…! (they’re very stealthy)

I certainly hope they model it in greater detail than that.
If I would want to play them in soso state, I would play Battlefield or GTA.
That’s how DCS handles things.
It’s simple which means it can run on consumer computers; and it works.
Weird of you to compare DCS & War Thunder to games that don’t simulate RCS nor radars.

If there are stealth fighters, you will see “Balance”
Gajin: Because the F-22’s stealth is too powerful, we decided to weaken it to a stealth similar to the Su-57. The J-20’s PL-15 has a 200km range, dual pulse and AESA seeker, so we decided to confiscate it and give it to PL-12 instead

Sweden will 100% get F-35 Block 4 since Finland bought them.
First will come in 2 years, so 2026.

100%, as an April fools event.
F-117 I can see as being possible, but I’m doubting F22, F35, Su57 or J20 as they will be impossible to balance fairly.
The gap in realism between DCS and War Thunder is much bigger than the gap in realism between Battlefield and War Thunder. Battlefield is more realistic than WT in some regards, as there isn’t any RussianBias™ coded into it.

I hope not, particularly as for Eurofighter members and France when we get out competitive airframes they’re gonna get uptiered to fight them.

Yep, and even the nations that get F-35. its built for CAS, not dogfighting. So even they’d be outclassed by other aircraft
It’ll be BVR only at that point. Pretty boring without even a chance of some fun dogfights.
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.
In general, the less I have to think about RCS the better.
It would be better in bvr and actually has a hmd unlike f22
The British one may even have better missiles
True, though lets face it. No way they add Meteor without adding something better to the US and USSR trees
