It does not appear in any other maps except Back to Karkand expansion map packs. The F-35 appears only in certain maps in Conquest/Conquest Assault game modes. It is featured on Gulf of Oman on Conquest and Wake Island on Conquest Assault.īeing a multirole fighter the F-35 has a 25mm cannon and optional air-to-ground Rocket Pods, Guided Missiles or Heat seeking Missiles for a more dedicated air-to-air combat role. The F-35 is a vehicle featured in the Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion.

"Part of the JSF program, the F-35 Lightning is a stealth, multirole fighter with STOVL (Short TakeOff Vertical Landing) capabilties." The F-35 is almost identical to the MiG-29 in terms of damage but it can be outmanavured by the Mig (Assuming both pilots are equally skilled) due to the Mig's smaller turning radius, despite having a larger turning radius, the reaction time of the F-35 is unmatched, when compared against the Mig-29, the F-35 takes much less time to do a complete barrel roll which a skilled pilot will take great advantage of that when setting up sudden sharp turns to counter the Mig 29's manavurbility. The F-35 features VTOL capabilities over its Russian counterpart, the MiG-29. The F-35 also has access to countermeasures to thwart missile lock on, but the cooldown timer for this ability is longer than other vehicles in the game. The Jet can fire heat-seeking missiles at enemy vehicles, including other jets, and drop bombs to destroy infantry and other ground targets with the JDAM bomb training. It appears at Oman and Dalian Plant and is usable with the Jet pilot training. The F-35 is a vehicle featured in Battlefield Play4Free for the United States Marine Corps. It also has the best turning capabilities of any jet in the game giving it the ability to outfly other jets just by being able to fly tighter turns. Its STOVL ability makes it easy to regain controllable altitudes after going into "high-fly" or "strato" to avoid enemy jets. The F-35B has the best dogfight capabilities of any aircraft in Battlefield 2. Players can hover by holding the throttle and brake.

The F-35B has the same armament as the F-18 and both aircraft are single-seated, but the F-35B has VTOL/STOVL capabilities, thus making the F-35B easier to land, but also making it slower and more vulnerable while in hover mode. It has no People's Liberation Army or Middle Eastern Coalition counterpart and, with the exception of Zatar Wetlands in the 32-player version, is only found on the USS Essex (LHD-2). It is the only STOVL ( Short Take- Off and Vertical Landing) fighter jet in the game and one of the four Fixed-Wing aircraft ( F-35B, F-18, F-15, A-10) used by the United States Marine Corps. The F-35B is a vehicle featured in Battlefield 2.
