            um - i never asked DICE to fix it - I just thought it was interesting to note.

            and obvious some people care - because this thread is around 5 page long

                So I'm sittin at home waiting for the dern server guys to finish their work so I can wrap up my network duties and I'm watchin the history channel.

                They're doin a piece of how crappy the harrier is and they briefly talk about the F-35 JSF. They said "Although it does not have the capability of vertical take-off, it does have an impressive short take-off capability".

                Pretty interesting eh? The F-35 can't take off verically IRL.
                the Marine version of the JSF can vertically take off, but the USAF and the USN version cant.

                    please read page 2 of the thread

                    In addition - the tail fin on the jet even says "STOVL"

                    it cannot transition from vertical lift-off to level flight - so it can lift off - but not take off

                    The F-35 (including the marine varient) is STOVL, not VTOL.
