I 'know' because people in the 'system' say so
why is it so hard to accept that the f-35 is exceeding the f-22 in system events?
Aside from the kinematic shortcomings, which are here to stay with the F-35 and which will also impede BVR capabilities significantly, I see much trouble with Systems and Software at the Moment with the Helmet Sight being far from where it should be. How that translates to superior Performances in Sims remains a secret with those who are setting up these Sims.
And you know what, Sims are just that. Reality is where it counts...
you seem to be kinematic platform centric, perhaps the f-35 isn't the shooter and is targeting the SM-6 for example or its sensor data is enabling another platform.. or other f-35's are using a passive f-35 as a shooter
obviously I don't have any details and accept it from those that do
