if the f35 enters a dogfight, the other fighter is probably already fucked. I can’t imagine that would ever be a concern of yours, as an f35 pilot, especially with all of the fancy link tech they have.
Yeah you’re thinking along the same lines I was. If the situation ever occurred that an F-35 was in close combat with an enemy aircraft, shit has gone very sideways.
Though you’re also right that with the interconnected platform of the thing, in reality the dogfighting F-35 would just have to distract the enemy for a moment while somebody dozens of miles away fires a missile.
yeah, i also wouldn’t be surprised if f22 in the position of potential resistance would be escorted by fighters as well.
If you’re trying to target any sort of lock on an f35 that isn’t pure vision based targeting, you’re pretty SOL unless the pilot can’t fumble with the switches correctly lol.
If the F35 ever needs to win a dogfight, we’d probably be in WW3 anyway.
