ouch.

I can't even find a 'choice quote' because there are so many

`The F-35’s shortcomings as an air-to-air fighter have already been well documented.

It famously lost in mock aerial combat within visual range (WVR), where its radar stealth is of no advantage, to an F-16 in early 2015, one of the planes the F-35 is supposed to replace as an aerial fighter.

The F-35 lost repeatedly in air-to-air maneuvering despite the fact that the test was rigged in its favor because the F-16 employed was the heavier two-seater version and was further loaded down with heavy, drag-inducing external fuel tanks to hinder its maneuverability.`

Its parts are manufactured in virtually every state, so it will never be cancelled.

>For example, if a pilot makes a sharp stick move to turn the plane, the control law software now results in a gentler turn to prevent problems such as — and including — dig-in.

So it has input lag.

>Its gun would be available in close-in fighting as well, but it’s not currently working because the software needed to effectively use it in combat hasn’t been completed.

Maybe they can buy the gun DLC later.

>For now F-35 pilots “will be forced to fly much closer to engage ground targets and, depending on the threat level of enemy air defenses and acceptable mission risk, it may be limited to engaging ground targets that are defended by only short-range air defenses, or by none at all.”

They don't get it, the intent is to provide pilots with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

yeah I remember that whole PR disaster with the F35, but the norwegian pilots are not so negative

this official "blog" post by norways first F35 instructor is from that period in early 2016 http://nettsteder.regjeringen.no/kampfly/2016/03/01/f-35-i-naerkamp-hva-har-jeg-laert-sa-langt-the-f-35-in-a-dogfight-what-have-i-learned-so-far/

english version of the article starts after the norwegian text

and I also remember 3 months later when a US pilot for the first time was beaten 100% by an artificial intelligence pilot operating the same equipment

"When Geno took manual control of the blue aircraft against
the reds controlled by the baseline controller AFRL had previously
been utilizing, he could easily defeat it. However, even after repeated
attempts against the more mature version of ALPHA, not only could
he not score a kill against it, he was shot out of the air by the reds every
time after protracted engagements. He described ALPHA as “the most
aggressive, responsive, dynamic and credible AI (he’s) seen-to-date.”"
