The external mounting for the gunpod and the missiles is because it needs most of the interior space for the VTOL equipment. As a result, it fucks up the stealth capabilities by having them mounted in such a way. The least they could have done was make it able to fly at extremely low speeds. If they'd stuck with the C-variant, at least it wouldn't look as shitty.
