I made this image of what the USA air TT could look like when 5th gens are added

Ideally the top BR would go much higher than 15.0, but I made this with the assumption that the top BR would not be raised any more than the 0.3 we have been getting per year.

And just a breakdown of the differences between the F-35 variants
F-35A (would be the best one for the game):

  • Has an internal gun
  • Has a higher G limit
  • Fixed nozzle, so no VTOL

F-35B:

  • Funny 5th gen VTOL plane
  • No internal gun (can use a gunpod)
  • Smaller internal weapons bay due to the VTOL fan up front

F-35C:

  • Larger, foldable wings
  • Reinforced gear and airframe for carrier landings
  • No internal gun (can use a gunpod)
  • Fixed nozzle, so no VTOL
