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

We move this out to <#470643162613022731>

F-111 was way too expensive for them to keep.

It caught too much shit during it's development

pls no am in gualag

Bombarding general with military shit
