The F-35 IRL makes dudes straight out of flight school trounce experienced pilots in 4th gens, and the F-45 in VTOL is no different 

I'd recommend flying it to anyone who's new and getting frustrated from getting blown up by stuff you don't see, because in the F-45 you can see pretty much everything that's happening

>During the first week of Red Flag, the F-35 pilots flew in a larger force of Blue Air in a counter-air mission. More than 60 aggressor aircraft were flying against them, blinding many of the fourth-generation aircraft with “robust” electronic attack capabilities.

>“I’ve never seen anything like it before.” Wood said. “This is not a mission you want a young pilot flying in. My wingman was a brand new F-35A pilot, seven or eight flights out of training. He gets on the radio and tells an experienced, 3,000-hour pilot in a very capable fourth-generation aircraft. ‘Hey bud, you need to turn around. You’re about to die. There’s a threat off your nose.’”

>The young pilot then “killed” the enemy aircraft and had three more kills in the hour-long mission.


I'm tempted to put one or two of them in my coop missions so someone can act as a team director or just have an easier time with them.
