i wonder how well or how bad it would perform, given the current C5
God knows. Im just dreading they fix the outstanding bug reports for the B/C5 on the D and refuse to actually fix said reports on the B/C5 as “to create a feeling of progression”

Because your maintainers are too lazy or too poor to use a heater cart for 5 minutes on the JFS bottles, which they should be doing to clear the frost off the canopies. Or too lazy or too poor to put your aircraft inside overnight, like good mechanics.
All we can really base it on is the C-5, so who knows. Guess we’ll know when they release the devstream

problem is like, if its really good on devs then most people would cry and it would be nerf like c5

F-35s have operated in Alaska for a decade just fine?
They literally sit in heated hanger so that’s definitely not it, anything else that could be a cause?

Well maybe they modified it to use a start method that typically isn’t used for cold conditions
They don’t?
If anything colder weather makes jets run better, especially when they are avionics limited by cooling capacity.
today weather
most alska bases are at -20*
most canada bases are -40*
really nice move of you comparing alaska to canada
Oh my God are you serious?
THIS is where you are getting your “cold weather mods”?
COLD WORKING of holes is a structural metal working term. It has nothing to do with weather or ambient temperature.

How’d we get to Canada’s possible Gripen deal to US aircraft in cold weather?
Heck, out of everything that likely the last reason why it’s being looked at. (The big ones are that Canada has total control over the aircraft, unlike the F-35(giving the RCAF an aircraft it could use 24/7 and not be a free bargaining chip against Canada) and the local production.)

6 good ARHs would be fine at 14.0, just because it isn’t meta breaking doesn’t mean it’s DOA.

Eielson will be -37 for takeoff time tomorrow.

You aren’t talking about the Killswitch right?
This is the first page which yes talks about the structural reinforcement around hydraulic lines and screws around the landing gear. The magazine continues on to a few other pages talking about the entire program which is where I’m mentioning it.
I just have this page on hand as I’m not at my PC to link the doc
I didn’t mention the Bulkhead modifications as that wasn’t the part of the program I was referring to.

Every airframe eventually gets something like this, if it’s left in service long enough.
It’s to counteract the metals fatigue and extend available hours(particularly if it’s carrying heavier loads frequently in this case), not some cold weather mod.
