It does carry with it a specific disadvantage though. The F-35A is one of, if not *the* slowest Fighter of its tier. This can be compensated somewhat with parts, but unless it has 6AAMs over other Fighters that do not, it will have an initiative disadvantage.

That said though, it has so many other advantages it's great. And I feel like omitting the HCAAs as an advantage is a mistake, given they dominate inside of furballs like the ones in B7R.
