Just say its a stealth enhanced light attack plane. but dont try to pass it off as a modern fighter. The claim that its a fighter all involve it not being seen. None involve it defeating anyone who knows its there.
The F-35 is comparable in maneuvering performance with an F-16 and actually superior in some aspects.
Only the big winged Navy version has lower wing loading. What worries me is that it weighs more than the F-15C ! The f-15 E and stealth eagle is a bit heavier but still higher in thrust.
The Stealth Eagle is the better deal, imo.
