It can’t carry either since both didn’t exist for years after they stopped flying the YF-23

the yf-23 didn’t even have bays for sidewinders

they cannot add the yf-23 to war thunder, they need to add proposed f-23 instead. the problem is that the f-23 is magnitudes times more fiction than something like the yak-141, at least for yak 141 we knew exactly which and how many weapons it would carry, and there’s even pictures of it carrying said missiles. yf-23? It ain’t carry stuff
for example, here is an f-23 proposal (not yf-23). It wouldve had chaff/flares and actual functioning weapon pylons
diagram with potential 2 120s
the yf23 was cancelled before the AIM-120A entered service
yf-22 fired aim 120s, it wasn’t a part of the requirements but aim 120s were in testing since the 80s
mind blown
this thing should be added with the su-75, theyre very similar (both prototypes)
OFC su-75 would be leagues better but in terms of general shape and design they follow the same principles
more functional than yak 141, or at least just as
The Yak 41 at least could move* itself at the airshow, not just sit and pretend it’s real when it could be made of vodka, dreams and lies
wdym?
The Yak 41 was at the airshow, so it couldn’t have been (and it wasn’t) a mock-up but the Su 75 “Femboy” is most likely a mock-up made of wood that has just been painted and had a few metal plates screwed on, I personally doubt that Sukoi could afford to even role out a prototype/working concept with how bad Russia has been since the “Special Operation”
Aside from being a prototype, we will probably get some Fictional skins of what it could have looked like had it been produced. Likely->Black and some red to go with its name, though later ones->Look closer to the raptor.
yf23 ain’t more functional than nobody
avionics are about as much realized as the yak 141, didnt crash tho
