What worries me is that this was a computer simulation for which few have access to the results.
The thing is the USAF want the F-22 and will use it as ammunition against the F-35.
Remember when there was the DERA simulation of the Typhoon vs every other current fighter and the only one that beat it was the F-22 and against the Su-35 it had a 10 to 1 win ratio. Everyone poo pooed it as unrealistic. This is the same.
Until a full up version gets in the air we won't know.
Personally as a multi-role aircraft for what the UK needs it is fine....after all the Typhoon is doing very well and unlike the Rafale can self designate its LGBs
