Spaz, Possibly JSFfan is thinking of Intrepid Tiger II, to your knowledge can it fit internally in an F35B and if so what weapon station does it take over?
Thinking that the internal load carrying capacity of the B is less than the others and mounting it on the wing would not be too stealthy.
Also if JSFfan is talking about the Tiger II does this mean that the USMC Block 2b planes are going to have USMC specific software, to enable the pilot to use the Tiger II? Also how is it going to communicate with the main systems on the plane? I might of missed a Death by Powerpoint but have not seen one that shows a hard point wired for EW pods, anyone able to enlighten us?
