So the air force sims are wrong, in your opinion. public announcement and know baseline are two different things. back in early 2000's they announced the f-35 isn't going to reach all non-KPP. the base line was announced in 2012, the report to parliament was 2012.
Although they do say they are conservative with sim specs and give the example of the f-22 in exercises exceeding the sim data. They also say the piloted sims give better results too. They also gave the increase from 3:1 to 400% to 6:1 because of the greater knowledge.
I hope you don't mind if I take the various air forces opinions, rather than forum chatter. I also think the UK have a fair idea of the Typhoon, if they ran it as the 4th gen with the F-35 in a sim.
The RAAF said it's possible to lose with the f-35 in the sim (statement to parliament) but you have to try hard.
