But damn, the F-22

ok, people often forget that

Sexy killer of a plane

fuck that's gay

High price, but it'll prove it's worth I think. It can scan and categorize which targets take priority and feed it to other planes.

the pilots rate it better than the 35

It can work as an AWACS as well.

It's a very versatile plane.

Yeah, the F-35 is not a bad aircraft despite all the shit it gets

f-22 is more of a traditional fighter in a sense

A fleet of F-35 and F-22 would be unstoppable in a peer to peer air battle

probably not, it isn't combat tested yet and they already lost one

@TwinVickers it's a fighter the f22. It's not multirole so of course pilots prefer it. It has suoercruise.

I swear israel tested one

The F35 makes more sense as a strike aircraft, rather than a dogfight aircraft

as cas or a2g

However the F22 has both oxygen supply problems and is shit in a dog fight

A squadron wouldn't be detected up until their missiles landed.

The F 22 is meant for BVR combat, so that's fine

It's not shit in a dog fight. It's not the best.

i don't think dogfights exist anymore

It's BVR combat as MILLIHEX said.

No it's shit in a dogfight

F-35 is pretty unwieldy in the air

Wut

@Doki Doki?who cares if you can't be seen before you destroying your target?

The f23 looses energy too fast and the F-35 can't turn

But again, dogfights aren't the point of modern air combat

I mean, the f-22 is more maneuverable

Fair enough

But if the Russians pull a sneaky then their fucked

It's all missile fights at the horizon

They're not meant as dog fighters. Nigger this isn't WW2

Russian planes have the RCS of a damn bus

have they decided already on the a-10 replacement?

Nope

F-35 will take over ground operations.

B

BRRRRRRRT

wish they hadn't gotten rid of f-111

I'm really happy the F-35 is turning out so well
