Hey hey you're right.

why the fuck would you use the gun for CAS when you could drop a maverick or a JDAM on a target instead? Newsflash, the F-35 is meant to provide CAS against a peer army, not against sneaky paki farmers

Whats there not to like?

>CAS
>Peer army

If you're fighting a peer force you're not gonna be loitering and loitering is a staple of CAS

Man, the Thunderbolt II has more in common with the P-38 Lightning than the Lightning II.

Loitering greatly helps you preform the CAS mission, but its not necessary. During the entire cold war CAS aircraft was not intended to loiter, as everyone knew this was suicide.

Not being shot down is a staple of CAS too. The A-10 is garbage, get over it.

You are thinking of loitering in the overhead above the echo point. In a near peer, aircraft are held in the rear 10-15 nm behind the FLOP at CP and IPs. There they are briefed the game plan and 9-line, do their readbacks and target correlation with the JTAC and then are given a push command and are told how to approach to avoid SA threats and friendly guns while avoiding fratricide, do their attack and egress how the JTAC told them to avoid getting shot down.
