Aircraft in Maintenance gives the game more realism, not every thing is working all the time, you just need to deal with it. once the f-35 comes online maybe more should be made unavailable
because major problem wont be able to be fixed at sea.

You appear to have some very erroneous information about the F-35. Not just this post, but others as well. It may not be a perfect aircraft, but it's not as bad as the Carlo Kopp's of the world would have you think.

To address this one... the aircraft and all systems have been designed so that all unit-level maintenance can be performed at sea, like any other jet in the fleet. Anything short of depot-level maintenance can be taken care of ship-board. Repair procedures and support equipment exist and are being delivered.

after all, at least with the F-35 if something screws up, you can just turn it off and back on again... if the Viper was the Electric Jet, the Lightning is the Computer Jet.

I know this is not how it would actually work, but I just had a mental image of a pilot in a F-35 tumbling without power through the air at a couple of hundred knots while he (or she) stares at a computer screen and waits for Windows to boot up.

Aircraft in maintenance is just that, or any unit for that matter. They are part of the unit compliment for unit data integrity and portray real life operations. I am sure a filter displayed in the UI would help those who want uncluttered data lists, for the sake of game play.

Loss of database integrity in the wild would be a disaster up until Matrix stops support. (And their support has been proven.)

Then gets a blue screen.

of course it would not work that way... with windows he (or she) might have a chance to perform an airstart after that tumble...

actually there is a thought. Does the F-35 feature RSS?

The F-35 maintenance problems have nothing to do with the f-35 as a capable aircraft, One of the problems of the aircraft is that it's engine can not be transported By a c-2 aircraft because of size ( its seems to come in a very large container) , nor can it be transferred during unrep because of weight. The Ford will be able to carry that load. A carrier will only carry so many spare engines, once they are used there will be planes that can't fly . http://www.defensenews.com/article/2010 ... -Ships-C-2 If this problem is fixed I would like to read the article about it.
