F-16 MATV Axisymmetric vectoring in the early 1990's.

because F-16s or F-18s cannot perform stealth missions, nor do they have nearly as good of avionics package of the F-35.

no but the JSF does but only for VTOL

Just because they are too old.

the f22 and f35 have thrust vectoring but is not like that, the thrust vectoring of f22 and f35 is in 2d and the f16 matv have it but in 3d

what happens when you're out of missiles? what happens when the missiles don't work?

Then you go in for guns. You could still win a gunfight without thrust vectoring.

oh ok. Can the F-35 turn like an F-16? Can it perform high alpha like an F-18? I just wanna know, I'm not trying to prove a point anymore

1stly, F-35 is designed to maneuver as well as the F-16.
2ndly, the F-35's fused avionics can borrow other aircraft's sensors to lock on, thus, essentially, lending another wing man with your own missile.
3rdly, Chances of it running out of missiles is just as low as the F-16 running out of bullets.

When both happen, you wait for the chance, and run like hell.

that never will happen... everyone will be shot down before u run outta missiles and ammo...
