Other operators have F-35 variants with more fuel etc. but compared with non-f-35 aircraft, the F-35B is very well endowed with internal fuel & internal weapon storage.SouthernOne wrote: ↑01 Jan 2023, 03:49 The UK is also in an odd position, being committed to a F-35B only fleet. Other operators already have aircraft with 1/3 rd more internal fuel / range, larger capacity internal weapons bays, and significantly higher levels of maneuverability; 9g compared to 7G.
7G vs 9G strengthened airframe says nothing about the maneuverability of the aircraft just when it will start falling apart. I suspect in A2A, it doesn't confer much of an advantage especially when the other guy is carrying big old wobbly drop tanks. But always willing to be corrected by any of our resident experts.
