In so far as realism goes, that franchise has reached the state of hopelessness. There is no such thing as aerodynamics exist in battlefield 3 protral of F-18 and SU-35. You don't feel at all aircrafts in that game is "flying", you feel they are floating and just move through empty space. Therefore I don't have any hope of BF4's J-20 being anything beside another skin for floating UFO.

Well, that is actually the least of their problems

Here's a more in-depth analysis of BF4. You'd figure they would have J-31s since they're playing on island territorial disputes.

The artists are hard at work incorporating the side bay rail development.

Best BF3 clip. Ever.
I'm not sure if it is to prevent spins, as much as to recover the aircraft that are not responding to conventional spin recovery techniques, lots of trainers are intentionally spun as an integral part of training in order to teach recovery technique, the F-15, F-18, Su-27, Mig 29, F-22 would likely all spin and recover nicely, although spinning any fighter aircraft would be potentially hazardous without lots of altitude, I'm not so sure when it comes to an aft mounted delta with canards. Large aircraft are a totally different matter, although I have heard that someone rolled the Concorde, no one would intentionally stall/spin a larger aircraft, although the 707 prototype was rolled by the chief test pilot for fun!
As Master Delft has alluded to, testing in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s was anything but boring, and no chief test pilot would roll anything unless he was retiring.
Back to the J-bird, we really have NO information about any test flights other than the few aileron rolls we saw with 2001/2002, although most fighter aircraft are rather routinely rolled, in WW II after returning from a mission a fighter pilot might perform a "victory roll" one for each enemy aircraft downed, they were forbidden due to the high attrition rate or the victory rollers under some commands...

True but in missions where stealth is not require would the Raptors even needed to be use at all albeit with externally carried ordnances? Strike Eagles or Vipers can achieve the same results since there are more of them anyway.
