Overview:
The F-22 Raptor is a stealthy, single-seat, twin-engine, super-sonic air dominance fighter designed to replace the F-15 Eagle. With its advanced avionics, thrust-vectoring nozzles for super-agility, super-cruise for fast speeds without the use of afterburner, powerful AN/APG-77 Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, and a new generation of stealth capability, it is (claimed) to be the world's deadliest fighter jet.

In 2002, the United States Air Force re-designated the F-22 Raptor as the "F/A-22A Raptor" the "F/A" mimicking the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 Hornet; the F/A designation was given in order to highlight it's air-to-ground capabilities, but changed its designation again to "F-22A Raptor" in 2005. On December 12th, 2007 the F-22A Raptor was declared fully combat capable by the USAF; announcing that it is now ready for combat operations.

Doesn't the ACZ Raptor have Quicks as well?

No, at least I never noticed it a couple of hours ago playing Zero.

The F-22A in ACZ doesn't have the QAAM. Just the XMAA, GPB, and the SOD.

Being a long-range interceptor first and foremost, QAAMs would not be as useful beyond visual range.

Well, not exactly. Although BVR is one of the F-22s strengths, it is more than capable of dogfighting. Same story in the games too.

I suppose so, but its primary use was as an interceptor. I agree with you that it is more than capable of holding its own in a close-quarters dogfight. I think manoeuvrability was preferred by pilots, and the technologies going into the plane were mostly standard equipment for building what is currently the most advanced fighter aircraft in service today. Seeing that interceptions often went into dogfights (if the foreign plane was a fighter), I could be wrong.

Keep in mind though, that it does have 2D TVC. Also consider the shape and angle of the aircraft's wings and tailfins; these give it excellent agility as well.

One of this plane's main breakthroughs is its "super cruise." I expect to see other countries eventually incorporate this technology into their planes in the future as well.

I beleive the Su-47 can supercruise as well.

I just love this plane. The stability and mobility is quite fitting to my style. It does have a limited A2G potential though, being an air domincae fighter.

Also I suppose the F-22 wasnt the 1st to utilize supercruise, the English Electric Lightning was.

Seconded. Concerning A2G, I feel personally, that the SFFS wouldn't be a bad option.

Sure thing. You could make a better case for replacing the A-10 if you talked about the F-35 or a more A2G-focused variant of the Raptor *crosses fingers* with an SFFS.

Yeah, I don't see why Namco couldn't give the Raptor the SFFS in the next game. Considering how much better the SFFS was in AC6, I think it would help give the F-22 some improved A2G capability. Maybe they could even give it LASM capability.
