Love the Six.I never had anything to do with them but they were gorgeous and had fantastic range, I recall.
Still, the 25mm in the F-35 wing root looks useful.
Here's a report from a guy who likes the F-35 a lot - he flies them "now" and flew the F-16 in the past so he has a good perspective on the differences. https://theaviationist.com/2016/03/0...-hand-account/
I understand the Typhoon is categorized as a Generation 4.5 (vice Gen 5 for the F-22 and F-35), due to the lack of stealthy capabilities. Still, if we can't get more F-22 aircraft beyond the 120/180 and they can't reconfigure the F-35 to do it, the Typhoon wouldn't be a bad option.
