![]() ![]() Media critics are quick to point out that the SU-57 cannot currently supercruise in its current state (new engines are set to be installed on them soon that will allow it to supercruise). No matter how you cut the cake, it undoubtably is objectively a stealth aircraft and one with capabilities that are in line with both the F-22 and F-35 (although to what scale is widely debated). The SU-57 uses radar absorbent material (composite materials) as well as a radar dissipating structure (through geometric shaping of the wings in relation to the tail, etc.) as opposed to just one or the other, it’s radar cross section is a fraction of its predecessor, it can carry internal weapons, is claimed to have data linking technology as well as other 5th generation aspects. To be clear, I’m not saying one I definitively better than the other. ![]() Which I think is a bit of a hypocritical baseline on the premise the F-22 was less stealthy than the YF-23. Which I appreciate is a controversial thing to say given a lot of self-proclaimed media “experts” seem to think it isn’t on the premise it’s not as stealthy as the F-22, amongst other things. The SU-57 is a “5th generation” aircraft. However, I might come back to it and update it with realistic specs later. I mainly built this for aesthetics and to make it fun to fly, which it ticks both boxes for. I’ll be honest, I didn’t opt for accuracy on speed or agility. It’s not much but I made an active effort to get it as close to real as my current skills would allow. However, this replica is probably the best one I’ve made. The fact I’ve produced 3 “replicas” of it throughout the duration of using this game is testament to that. Probably one of my favourite aircraft next to the B-36, YF-23 and SU-35. ![]()
