U mean block 4? Yes, USA will get block 4 F-35 too IRL, I think we might have some already in fact
Yeah the Marines already do I believe

F-35C does have the lowest thrust-to-weight ratio, but beeg wings that generate more lift at slower speeds.
The C (and B I believe) also lack an internal gun compared to the A.
Yeah, it’s like the Hornet, it will be quite a bit slower than the A and B too because of the extra drag and weight.
The downsides of not using a ramp
The C does have same payload weight as A though
Yeah, that probably won’t be a huge issue though by the time we get them
Oh yeah, the bigger wings make up for a lot but it’s T/W is quite low, the big wings are very draggy, and it can only pull about 0.5G more than the B from what I can see
Really? You’d think it would pull harder from more wing area
it’s a lot of extra weight, 2.5 tonnes (5,500lbs) more than the A
Bigbody jet huh

It already doesn’t matter now in most matches I find. But it is still a notable difference, especially for people who sully their great airframes with air-to-ground.

Well, flight performance wise the F-35A will remain the best F-35 for obvious reasons.
Personally I’m a big fan of having my commonwealth/Dominion naval lineup:
HMCS Haida, HMAS Tobruk, HMAS Nepal and HMCS Terra Nova are an amazingly fun line-up to have.
In ARB and AAB you can also make some funny (mostly premium) fully commonwealth/Dominion line-ups, like the canadian mustang skins, lancaster and the australian beaufighters, boomerangs, avengers and others!
Personally I would have hoped to see a comparable WWII ground line-up, but it wasn’t really meant to be. The last addition of a canadian vehicle (the RAM) was a step in the right direction.

I think the B will be .7 below A, C .3 below A, and A at the top. I think F-22 will be same BR as C but a step below A

Obviously, though in a dogfight they all lose to the F-22, SU-57, and J-20 (which also lacks a gun) as well as a few 4th Gens
Idk, the A could probably beat a J-20 in a dogfight

Personally, I think B and C will be .3 below A, at this BR the missiles matter more than the airframe, heck the A and B may be at the same BR
We’re not about to have this discussion… Are we…
Ya… at this point, I tell people if you are a fan of Canada-ANZAC vehicles go play naval.
The only place where they are treated with any respect currently.
