tell what youve heard and how you think it will perfrom in combat

Nice for what its intended to do, being a stealthy bombtruck with the capacity to defend it self. A stealth F-16 basically.

The dumbed down export versions will not be worth it though, if you cant get full stealth, why bother? Then you can just buy EF-2000/Rafale/Gripen instead.

It's basically a close air support version of the F-22 Raptor....me likey. Besides, any airplane with a swivel engine is just scary....it just is

It's going to the Navy and will in effect be a cross between the Harrier and the F-22. What's not to like?

It should replace the Tomcat, which is aging and the older models have been suffering mechanical problems for a while.

Actually the Tomcat is being replaced with the F/A-18F "Super" Bug

good plane it will prevail the skys

I heard it was going to replace the A-10

c/Commander · May 24th, 2004

Nothing will replace the A10 for a pretty long time, the F35 was not designed as a close-support tank buster- the A10 was. JSF will not be able to take the punishment the A10 can.

Didn't the British buy a bunch, and then found out that they're too big for their carriers?

Ah, here we go. heh.

...Wow. Talk about brutal incompetence...spend a lot of money without knowing if the aircraft you're buying will work on your carriers
