[@brodieboy3]

Why do you 'need' A single seater? Having the 2nd seat means that every plane has the option for a second operator if the mission calls for it .. and lots of A2G missions do as evidenced by the Strike Eagle. There's also a benefit to having a few command/control, navigation, & communication guys and some planes may get.optimized for EW operations by adding Growler jamming pods. I also see UCAVs/ loyal wingmen becoming a bigger part of most every mission. EXs accompanied by stealthy ucavs will likely become the norm for 1st day strikes and taking out enemy air defenses where you don't want to risk losing pilots and even stealthy F35s will become more vulnerable and they don't have sufficient on-board fire power by themselves to take on enemy fighters reacting to the initial attacks. F35s will, however, be valuable as they silently lay in wait along side EXs to attack any fighters that do respond .. at which point more EXs loaded up with cruise missiles and other A2G weapons can proceed further forward to take and command & control, air base, infrastructure & enemy troop concentration targets.
