I dunno if this has already been mentioned, but the ability for the F-35 pilot to shoot missiles off boresight thanks to their helmet mounted displays and the plane's distributed aperture system might mean that the F-35 doesn't necessarily need to turn into its target to get a missile lock, and it's possible the F-22 might have the same capabilities in the future. Regardless, this was an interesting matchup, keep it up!

They're doing it in the video game simulator and that's not how those plane fight.

[@jesusofbullets]

So I worked with armament in the USAF, and I can confirm that’s not an F-35 exclusive. The capability exists on the F-15’s, F-16’s and the F-22’s as well because it’s just a link between the JHMCs system and the AIM-9X. I think that was the acronym, but basically it’s just the helmet paired with the AIM-9X’s camera.

[@SmoochyRoo]

It was really funny as that was the first nickname given to it by it's pilots. However I understand that it finally found it's true nickname amongst pilots as they found it's proper role and more info was declassified, due to how it does in strikes, which is primarily how it fights; it is now the "Panther." It makes sense too. It goes in unseen and pounces, then is off. Definitely want to see a BVR fight against the two though. That would be a much more interesting and fair fight as they are both stealth aircraft.

The F-35 is said to have excellent sensor fusion and its special helmet, which results in improved situational awareness of the pilot. I think this is not quite modeled in DCS, or at least not as impactful as it probably is in real life. Even if the F-35 loses every single merge, the technology should enable the pilot to avoid such situations entirely.

[@georgebaggy]

The F-35 distributed aperture system in combination with its special helmet enables the pilot to fire Sidewinders in any direction, including directly behind him.

[@user-wc3wu2mx3m]

Thank you for understanding that the F-35 wasn't meant to do this. It's honestly sad to see how many people don't get that. Very glad you actually did your research instead of unjustly blasting Fat Amy :)

[@F22raptor46]

I gotta say this tho, the F-35's capabilities in this video were nerfed as he was carrying the AIM-9M in the video, let him have the 9X which is what the F-35 would really carry, and let him use off boresite as it would be his only way to defend against the F-22

[@starbase218]

Only thing about that is the F-35 can't actually carry any AIM-9 in a stealth configuration. The Sidewinder's seeker head needs to see its target to lock on before launch. With the F-22 that's possible as it has special bays with rails that extend and angle the Sidewinder outwards. The F-35 OTOH needs to carry the AIM-9s on wing pylons. I've been wondering about this. I mean, block 4 F-35s are supposed to be able to carry 6 AMRAAMs. I don't know how realistic DCS is (I don't play it myself, just here to watch GS and learn stuff), but quite often radar-guided missiles seem to be easy to defend against. It's good to get a guy to be defensive, I guess, but wouldn't internally carried AIM-9s increase the lethality of the F-35? Just wondering. But I guess nobody actually knows how realistic DCS is wrt the F-35 and F-22 (and possibly other types).

[@F22raptor46]

[@chooseymomschoose]

I think what a lot of people don't understand about the F-35 is that it was designed to be a node in a distributed system. GS was kind of making this point. Yes, a lone F-35 would get absolutely creamed in a one-v-one with an F-22. However, that's not how it was designed to fight. If a (admittedly fantastical, never gonna happen) hostile F-22 managed to get that close to an F-35, it would be seconds away from being creamed by another F-35 or (eventually) a missile truck drone. The F-35 is a sensor/network package first, weapon system second. It's designed for a world where the targeting system is on one aircraft, the weapon is on another, and the engagement authority is yet somewhere else.

[@copperheadysf23a85]

From what I can recall, the UK was offered the F-22, but it was deemed unaffordable. Japan was also given a chance to acquire a downgraded export variant of the F-22, but they were uninterested in helping to develop what was basically a watered down F-22. The UK and Israel have extremely strong ties with the US. So much so that their F-35s are the only export versions that do not include Lockheed Martin's "off button", which is a safety precaution in all other nation's exported F-35s.

No it wont. In BVR the fight will be even more unfair due to F-35's lower speed its missiles and it will have much less energy to maneuver. The f-22 also has a low RCS from the front. It is also likely that the raptor's radar has more transmitter receiver modules than f-35.

[@DrDrew-mw2gy]

Fantastic! I know the outcome, but I'm still glad you did it thanks! Now I would like to find out if it is possible for any aircraft to survive against the F-35 BVR and actually merge with it. I think that would determine a lot about the F-35's combat role.

[@KekusMagnus]

This merge would never happen though, they are both primarily designed for BVR where the F-35's superior avionics would give it the edge. In fact it seems the F-35's 180 degree off-boresioght capability wasn't modeled here, it should be able to fire a fox-2 more or less at the same time as the F-22

[@arcaipekyun4232]

F-22 is more stealthy though, if we’re talking about BVR.

[@EddyA1337]

The f-22 likely has avionics just as good as the f-35 if not better. It's why f-22 tech isn't exportable and top secret, just like the b-2. The cockpit layouts are even classified. Why would the US military export planes with better avionics than its air superiority fighter? This is why the US military is apprehensive about Japan's tactical fighter program, they want to use the yf-23 airframe but it would basically have f-15j and f-35 avionics. If Japan brought the yf-23 up to production status it would likely outperform the f-22.

[@TallDude404]

@@EddyA1337 It wasn't exported because of US congress not because it was so highly classified that not even allies could operate it.

[@TomatoCultivator]

The history/background in the beginning of your videos is really cool

[@whells195]

People forget that IRL the F-35's sensor fusion allows it to make a more extreme use of the latest aim 9xs, the F-35 can have a missile fire and do a 180°, while the 22 needs to turn into its target, this gives the F-35 a massive advantage should a merge occur with any fighter.

[@ws6619]

going from Mach 1 to zero to Mach 1 to do a '180' is pretty much a fantasy.

[@Chrisxx-tv3xu]

Yea the helmet the f-35 pilots have is something else. I wish the f-22 had the helm,but would be extreme overkill 🤣

[@Chrisxx-tv3xu]

@J I mean there hasn’t been much jet to jet combat with today’s tech, so we really can’t judge it 100% but due amramms and long range AAMs I would say yes but I think dog fighting will still come up

[@artemvektor1]

[@whells195]

@@ws6619 as far as I know we dont have any actual footage of how the missile does this, but I am assuming it would use control surfaces to turn before ignition, the Isrealis have also developed this capability with the Python V missile

[@paulauriemma7236]

The military actually did this year and the F-35 blew the Raptor out of the water with I believe 22 kills to 1. The F-22's only kill was when it actually had visual contact

[@Vixikats]

That first merge was so close that the pilots could have reached out of their respective cockpits and high-fived each other. Lmao.

[@gosborg]

It would be interesting to see the Gripen fight against the Typhoon. I’m guessing they would be well matched, but with different strengths and weaknesses.

[@steveacclaro740]

I live in Canada, and we've (the public) have been painfully waiting for the government to decide between the F35 and the Gripen JAS39E for our next fighter.

[@davidbarlee4722]

This video kind of explains a lot. If the Americans plan to use the F-35 with another aircraft like the F-22 then buying it makes sense. There are a few countries like the UK who are considering reducing the size of their orders for it and keeping more agile aircraft to run with it ( the euro fighter typhoon in the case of the UK). Ok the Typhoon isn’t 5th gen but it will still haul some ass against most planes out there and bring something different to a fight.

[@ArnelCustodio]

Great explanation and video! I agree that dogfighting will not be the F-35's forte, but like some others, I'm curious about its BVR capability. I know it's not going to have the same situational awareness as the real thing.

[@SilverforceX]

F-22 has even better BVR because its stealth is far better. Difficult for missiles to even track it, and its so agile that long range missiles has difficulty hitting. F-35 is a sitting duck vs F-22 and other true 5th gen fighters.

[@paulrobbins4879]

Yes, they would be because SU-57 and F-22 were designed for close-range, visual range engagements. The F-35 is meant to use its stealth and excellent sensors to engage from beyond visual range with long range missiles. Honestly, putting the F-35 in a close range dogfight with anything isn't really doing justice to its capabilities.
