Did some damage lastnight

Platoons - Battlelog / Battlefield 3
Platoons - Battlelog / Battlefield 3 - almost 13,000 points in a single round

Flew the F35 for the first time on Wake Island last night. It handles very differently from the other jets in the game, didn't really like it. It's fast but it's turning radius is terrible, if you're going over 300knots you're missile-bait. To strike ground targets I typically use the afterburner to go vertical and cuban eight down into my target, or loop over and roll onto it. At the top of the loop I press and hold reduced throttle so I have more time to line up my run but with the F35 if you drop below about 250knots it starts to go into hover mode and the handling goes all fucked and often stalls on you if you're in a dive. Kinda sucks to fly to be honest, because hovering somewhere and trying to take out a target makes you very vulnerable to ground fire.
