F35 in BF6?
I’m writing because I love how the F22 and F16 are in the game with of course the PAX counterparts JAS39/SU57 and noticed how the A10/SU25 got added to 2042, but for BF6 we got “Air Superiority” or “Fighter” jets being the Stealth 5th Gen F22 and SU57 and the “Attack” Jets being 4th Gen F16 and F39, but considering the fact the new jets have been added to BF2042 and that previous titles had like a wide array of jets I think for BF6 they could add the F35A. Why the A variant you ask? Well first just because it can’t VTOL doesn’t mean it’s boring but also it makes the most sense, the F35A would be a nice change and would make more sense as opposed to the F35B or C being that it is the most widely used, it could be a “Medium” “Multirole jet in the game with the F22 being the “Heavy” and F16 being the “Light” with both being orientated to more specific roles while the F35 could be an all rounder or mission choice. For a PAX counterpart I’d say the best option is the SU75, before you think it’s bad hears why, first the SU57 is Russian, how did PAX get on to them? Either Russia I considering being potential partners with PAX being Anti-NATO/West or they just got them from Algeria. The SU75 could however was built as a counterpart to the F35 with it being made for export, and although it’s not ready in 2025 it’s likely it could be in 2027, it would offer the same “Quarterback” type as the F35 and maybe have Thrust Vectoring, but you may think, “well the F35 don’t have that” well then you could make some near future variant that does. Take the F35E from BF2042, it’s not real yet, but it could also be by 2027, and maybe have thrust vectoring, now before you say “erm the F35E from 2042 doesn’t have thrust vec-“ well neither does the SU57 from 2042, and the XFAD4 does, but not like the Thrust Vectoring from BF6 (it’s crazy), so there’s that, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities, and would make more sense game wise. One could argue the F35 from NATO could fall on the hands of PAX but that would mean both sides have the F35 and gamewise might not be as likable/or as good, rather than having variety and considering the SU75 is the near perfect competitor. It also fits in really well with the setting and story, and is fan favorite, and would be the second time in a row it’s in a battlefield game after a while considering it was of course not in Hardline, BFV and BF1, but most recently in 2042. I’ve also seen numerous times on YouTube, Reddit Etc that they want to see the return of the F35 and are hoping to see it again, and have even seen some desire to see the SU75. Basic things about its role is that again it could be a balance in between the F22 and F16/F39&SU57 maybe it could have less stealth then the F22/SU57 but have more armament variety, be less maneuverable than the F22/SU57 but more maneuverable than the F16/F39, or if they have TV (Thrust Vectoring) it could be less extreme as the Felon or Raptor. It could have a wide array of missiles, Bombs, etc, both Internal and External, and would be a formidable fighter in the right setting, considering it’s in a literal loading screen and would be a good addition with the PAX SU75, so EA or anybody listening, think about it
