I assume you're talking about the f35 given you're a cucked Australian and they look similar.
But this steaming pile of crap is most likely no different.

Nah. Fookin' 1000 flights/month out at Luke AFB. Just pissing away money desperately needed for everything but ultra expensive military planes.

Of course you're not, you know nothing about it whatsoever.
Air to Air? No, but it dominates any fighter we have or have used (acquired) from other military's in our exercises, which are as realistic as possible.
What do you mean by limited?

Realistically we’re getting to a point (or already there) where precision jet fighters are hampered mostly by human limits. The true next generation fighter jets will be controlled remotely or autonomously much like drones are currently.

Don't bother arguing. The folks who make these remarks don't (and will never) work in the industry and have no business commenting.

Like all the people who think we should just keep pumping out F22's since they're the "best plane ever" with their 30+ year old computers.

Nighthawk F117 is not the prettiest but it is one of the most iconic and badass looking planes ever produced. When I was a kid I used to call it “the batman plane”. Was sad to learn it got put out of action. It did a hell of a job in the Balkans campaign.

The entire purpose of the program was to transfer taxpayer $$$ to politicians and a few rich guys at Lockheed.

USAF just started replacing the wings though. So there's that. If they can come up with something that out performs the A10 then i'll be hella surprised. They broke the mold when some guy looked at the 30mm Gatling gun and said....:
"You know what? We should put this fukker in the SKY!"

And the USAF Top brass said:

Anyone who circle-jerks over this useless plane are fooling themselves.
You're no different from game developers like Wargaming (makers of World of Tanks) who make OP vehicles in game that either never existed or were never used in combat in real life and giving them big advantages over actual vehicles that were mass produced and combat proven.

Russian S-400 missile system. Imagine what the S-500 would look like and how easily it would disable America's advantage in the skies.

Would knock that American junk machinery out of the skies.

dude read it.

the first SR-71 crew was out flying and a Cessna asked for a speed check from ATC, then a twin prop plane asked a speed check. Then a Navy pilot in an F-18 asked for a speed check being a smart ass to the slower prop planes. He was going 600 knots.

Then the SR-71 guys who were flying so high and fast no one knew they were there came on the fequency and asked for a speed check to flame the F-18 guy. They were going 1,800 knots.
