I tell you something. In a 1:1 WVR the F-35 will not be a good fighter. Its design is not up to an F-16C Block 52 in terms of WVR. In AirSB, 90% of my kills are in WBR not in BVR. Derby I generally use in ranges where the dodging is almost impossible.
I don’t see any advantages of a F-35A vs my F-16C in a dogfight.
As much as I like WT, it’s a game and it doesn’t include the massive kill chain included in actual air ops (but you know this)
The F-35 doesn’t need to manoeuvre, the AIM-9X and 360 degree vision of the pilot (on both X and Y axis) with 180 degree off foresight capabilities do that for him.
As much as I wish we stayed with European aircraft, the F-35 is an aircraft people like to bash on but I think it really would perform insanely well. It’s simply not made for scenario’s it’s not expected to be in. That would be a dogfight without AIM-9X’s available.
