I've read several articles and they state quite clearly that the F35's shortcomings in close-combat were to be addressed by using them in conjunction with more capable air craft such as the F22. The fact that the F35 has received pretty damning criticism for its poor maneuverability seems to confirm this. Are we going to continue using our FA18s in this role?
