As a fighter, it's a DOG, particularly in multi-bandit environments AFTER the merge, not to mention the idiocy of a single engine platform for Naval Aviation. F-35s have been supplying very good ISR on this conflict. Being able to open a 50 mile AESA aperture is ground breaking, pun intended. Not going to do that with the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a 747. The 2 engined Tomcat has a much worse safety record than the F-35. It's fun to correct old cogers who can't keep up with current millitary aviation. Originally Posted by ...HorHay69 yelling at clouds Originally Posted by jorgeI 1. The 747 example was used merely to illustrate the capabilities of the F-35's weapons suite, i.e., it excels in BVR scenarios, but SUCKS after the merge 2.The Tomcat was in service for over twenty five years and suffered from inadequate engines thanks to Jimmy Carter(the root cause of the infamous Kara Hultgren mishap). The issue, STUPID has to do with engine failures, whereas even a low ASVAP scoring idiot like you is the fact that the loss of one engine in a single engine platform means GAME OVER whereas a two engine platform obviously can keep on flying. Math is hard but two is better than one Pro-tip: stick to what you know...oh wait. never mind. Obviously I know quite a bit more than you concerning the F-35. The F-35 has a much better safety record than the Tomcat. That's simply a fact. The F-35 excels at the merge because it can employ weapons 360 degrees and can PID at much longer range than anything else. The world of mil aviation has gone well beyond your limited experience.
