Very cool that the helmet allows the pilot a 360 degree view so he can check blindspots though. That should definitely be a bonus.

Especially when parallel parking.

So why do they need 360 degree situational awareness, which may be useful in a dogfight...but there are no guns available.

I thought that the whole point of the F35 was to use missiles to shoot down over the horizon attackers.
