yeah technically Marine F-35Bs can get all british weapons as they are jointly tested in the US hence why I said the F-35B will have the worst performance of any F-35 but the best AAMs
i hope they add an earlier F-35B at lower BR and then the peak F-35B
bro what would they add after adding all these planes
and istg, something big is gonna happen
“Jointly” the UK MoD signed a deal that the entire integration is done in the US for Political reasons
true 9M and C-5 at about 0.3 - 0.7 higher then the current max br and then ASRAAM and Meteor another 0.7 to 1.0 above that

you seriously think the RAF or BAE reps arent watching it all happen?
idk, better versions of Existing planes? current Prototypes?
what are they gonna add to Ground after literally currently in game tanks?
also C-7
I get the feeling every F-35 (whatever variant) will just get all missile options for all nations as a balancing factor. So if one plane gets meteor they all will
What about a certain prototype missile developed for the F-35?
It should still be physically compatible since it’s based on the Meteor, but was sadly cancelled before ever being used on an F-35.

well i was thinking more 120C-7/D and 9x blk 1 for the early version
it would be UAI integrated probably
pretty sure some of the test pilots for the F-35B integrations are RAF pilots lol could be wrong tho

well we can all kinda watch it
participating is the thing than neither us nor BAE can (btw Meteor is from MBDA)
exactly, its just that the Lockheed F-35B that are assigned to testing are USMC ones. tbh i think its better for UK since they dont have to dedicate a couple airframes that you guys need for your carriers

they still have to participate by providing the necessary information and probably have some role in the UAI integration
it seems that people keeps forgetting about this, this was in october last year when they added the F-117 they already told us that fifth gens are being worked for me its not a surprise i actually expected this.
