The Official "Jet Planes Are Effin' Boss" Thread

[HAULN-SS]

I was always under the impression that the F35 was not supposed to excel at any one thing. It's more like a Gen 4.5 fighter than a Gen 5. I think the idea was to have a larger quantity. The F35 carries half the A/A missiles of the F22 for example. I think the JSF gets a lot of bad press because on paper its worse, but it was supposed to be.
