isn't it basically a shrunk F-22?
Short answer? Yes. I found that trying to maintain edge alignment with a conventional layout always seems to end up looking very similar to the F-22, but I also looked at the Mitsubishi ATD-X while drawing it.

Thanks Blackbuck, hopefully Atlantia and Recherche are close enough friends that they'll never have to prove which is better in combat :lol: 8-)

Oh, you boys. Didn't you know there are wargames? :P

Personally I would have gone this route:

The HAe-CAe Firestorm FA.6

From game or F-22 clone, the aircraft is wonderful, this is what counts for me.

I think Heuhen is trying to make a multirole fighter joke.

Sorry guys, I just had to do something about those fins. Also matched the trailing edges of the tailplanes with those of the wings. Nothing too serious I hope. :)

Actually BCR, I had to do a few refinements myself, and the reason for the angles instead of soft rounded edges is for stealth capabilities, because if we went similar to the F-15 it would have a similar sized radar signature, with all those curves, but with the F-22 type design it reduces that signature by 40% ish.

Finished, hopefully, Firestorm
