What would happen if in 1988, Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev was assassinated? CNC Fallout is a total conversion mod for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that postulates this very question.
F-22 Tank Buster

Description
These Russian T-90s - already crippled by NATO's Sentinel Virus - lay helpless against an F-22 Tank Buster strike.
Holy everything! Now this is a cool idea(the virus)!
does that F-22 strike automaticly aim at tanks in the radius of the support power?
no It doesn't
This Raptor is a bit strange...the cockpit is small and the rest of the plane seems "fat". Anyway, good job.
yeah the Raptor looks like it got a few pounds too much on its fuselage lol
I will investigate.
Thanks for the heads up!
Looks like the Power Plants are inactive too :P But this is a great visual effects on the tanks.
Maybe, but that is just the lighting at the time - this is quite a dynamic map!
the raptor is an anti tank air craft now? oh well, you could have gone with the A-10 since it's a full blooded armor killer. still, i love what you have done here.
The Tank Buster was originally going to be done by the JSF F35, however, the JSF was then made NATO's user-controllable jumpjet. This made the most sense as runway logic doesn't really exist in C&C3, and a VTOL aircraft made the most sense.
At one stage the JSF was even pencilled in for Australia and had an Australian texture!

I needed to find a place for the F-22 (my favourite plane), so this was it. Ifr I can find a place for the A-10, I will still include it as I love it. The issue is all about balancing now.
I agree with timemaster, the A-10 would have been a much more logical choice. The F-22 was originally designed as an air superiority fighter, like the F-15, but due to it's cost the ground capability was added. It is not intended for a low-level strike on tanks. Now if you wanted to put the F/B-22 in as a replacement for the orca strike, that would be alright. No need for runways, and taking out buildings would be a much better use the of weapons the F-22 actually carries.
Then again, this is an alternate timeline...
A: Logic does not apply in C&C
B: F22 beats the crap "Cool factor wise" vs the A10
C: The A10 is outdated,a UAV drone like craft would do better than a A10.
D; I like the F22.
KEEP THE F22
You DO know the A-10 is "cooler" because it's a plane build around a 3 ton gattling gun which dwarfs a VW Beetle and that when firing looks like a laser gun that can literally cut tanks in half?
However, unlike the F22, the A-10 has no stealth capabilities so I can guess the Raptor is used to make a hidden strike before the enemy knows a plane is incomming.
A-10s are fast enough to escape enemy fire and can shoot its maverick AT missiles long before AA (excluding SAMs and the like) defenses can get the shot off the damn thing, though using a stealth aircraft for ground strikes does make perfect sense, just don't let that certain aircraft be the raptor.
A. it does apply in CNC (case in point, take a look at CNC3TW mod GenEvo, they made they runway logic work with a little experimenting. pretty hard but worth the try.)
B. F-22 is AA. A-10 is AT/bomber aircraft, so it's wrong to compare them.
C. A-10 has done its best in a 30-year span and will continue to do so in another decade or two, so it's still viable technology.
D. F-22 is cool, but let it keep its roll as an AA aircraft. it was designed to assume that roll and will continue to assume that roll.
A: dont take a mod as an example of CNC logic.There are many things in C&C that would not work in RL.Not to mention that RL is boring as hell.
C&C has lasers,powerful terrorists with tanks,tanks that have a range of like 50 meters and so on.
B: that is true.The problem with that is that in a game such as fallout anything can happen.F22 can have multi role capabilities,external bomb racks,at the cost of stealth.A10 is primariliy anti tank.IMO,A10 is an overused piece of ****.Generals had it,why should the same **** appear in fallout?
Imo it gets boring.
C: So did the F18,F16,F22...
D: New idea,replace the F22 with the F16.I love the F16.Its one of the most successful aircraft in the world.
Not sure where you get the idea the A-10 is a piece of crap. We have nothing in our current inventory of aircraft that can even remotely do what this ugly monster is capable of. Even the F-16 isn't anywhere as successful against tanks since it was built as a strike fighter, not a tank killer. It can't take the abuse the A-10 can, flies literally too fast to really take on hard targets like tanks unless you have some fool on the ground lighting them up with a laser. If you want tanks dead, use an A-10. You want aircraft dead, use an F-22. As for buildings and such, take your pick, either will get the job done. But then why not call in a B-1B or B-2 and make SURE they don't rebuild!

But then,flying airships of doom were not beter either,I say LOOKS>>>>REALISM.That goes for F22 vs A10.
What was that again? You wanted an A-10
