Looks more a A7 vought corsair II or a F8 crusader for me.

Shape of the wings, position of pylons, location and number of wing fences, roundness of the fuselage, what seems like small intakes for systems further back the fuselage, what seems like a round main nose intake with a spike like nosecone etc all point to Su-17/22. Which was also kinda what seemed like under the tarp in previous new year tease image too.

I'm so down for a Fitter. Such a beautiful Soviet bomb truck.

To be fair, a Fitter would... well... fit for Syria, Iraq, Iran, think at some point Egypt used them too but those were older variants I believe. Also, in Soviet service, they were the staple of Afghanistan campaign, which is rumored to be a teased map in latest ED vid :).

Wheels in the wing not the fuselage, waste high wing roots not shoulder high,  nose cone in the centre of the intake not above it, 2 more wing pylons than an F8 (??). Couldnt say its an SU22 but I would say its not an F8. 

SVKSniper was pretty well on with his wonderful looking SU17 M4.  I hope this dosent derail that.

It'd be nice to see them team up.

I'll take any Su-17/Su-22 I can get though!

Its the only thing that would stop me hankering after a full fidelity SU25

Mid-wing, not high-wing, can't be an F-8. Wings are also neutral, F-8's wings are anhedral. And, landing gear retracted into and were attached to fuselage as mounting the struts on the wings of the F-8 was a non-starter owing to its variable-incidence wing.

I see it as a high wing but hadn't noticed the landing gear. So my error.

To be fair - I spent a lot of time triple checking... I didn't want to risk being disappointed. There are a lot of differences though - starting with, well, everything (for the most part).

I could see that. I think the Su-17/22 has about 75% of the payload, and an ability to make multiple passes on a target. It also might have a similar or greater variety of guided weapons (depending on the variant we get). So, it is a better fit than the Mig-27... even if it is more of a supersonic flash past kind of design that has some elements which are similar to the Mig-27. It'd definitely be nice to have all three someday 😄

He made an honest mistake, yo. No need to dogpile.

Though, I'd go to said class, as well. Sounds skate.

Sorry, I'm an old guy and forgot that I have to remember the "you offended me and hurt my feelings" generation. It was a joke. 

Dunno, soundin' an awful lot like you're giving it your damnedest to bridge that gap!

Voice tone doesn't come across in text.... so people can't tell what is or isn't a joke. Also, since you raised young people trying to be non-offesnive, what happened to 'young people don't have any manners?' or is it only people in their nineties who still value politeness and respect? Young people can't win.

They won’t let me take it again. I’ve failed too many times. 🙂

Well, so long as you aren't operating a weapon or heavy weapons right? No harm no foul?

Honestly, that's just a matter of making sure no one you like is ever down range. 👍
