In the early 2000s, the USAF opened a competition for a new 5th generation aircraft. This competition was called the Joint Strike-Fighter (JSF) program. Boeing presented the X-32. Lockheed Martin presented the X-35. The X-35 would win and be introduced in 2015 as the F-35A/B/C Lightning II.

As the most advanced fighter in the world, F-35 comes in 3 primary variants: the USAF F-35A (featured here), the USMC F-35B, and the USN F-35C. (4 if you count the Israeli F-35I) Affectionately nicknamed the Panther, the F-35A is a 5th gen, supersonic, highly maneuverable, multi-role strike fighter. The F-35 is a Jack-of-all-trades, and has the ability to detect, lock, and fire before any other aircraft can see it. With maneuverability comparable to the F/A-18, SU-35, or F-22A, the "Panther" is a formidable foe in a close quarters dogfight. Read More...

The payload is UGB ×4, Paveway II ×4, Sidewinder ×2, and AMRAAM ×2. The throttle needs to be above 95% for afterburner. The full instructions are available in game.


Upgrades: redesign of the wings using a blueprint,
redo of all control surfaces, adding Post Stall
Maneuvering (PSM), and added back details
(gray lines) ect.
