Hey Courthouse, every time you post in this thread I will flip a coin. Heads I probate you, tails you live to post another day.

That's a 50% ratio of miscarriage of mod justice. Not sure if you are cut out for the job.

This aircraft IS NOT OPERATIONAL. It doesn't need a goddamned gun yet. It WONT be operational until AFTER that software upgrade. Who the gently caress cares if the gun works while they're still testing whether the drat plane will fly reliably and live up to expectations? This has been the plan for like a decade. The AF and Navy aren't planning to declare IOC until well after 3F is delivered.

The Marines are the only idiots doing it sooner, and frankly that's dumb as gently caress. Get angry about that, not because the gun aspect is actually proceeding exactly as loving planned.

Last I heard it was 2016, but I guess that's only the marines then?

I don't really care about the gun or any of the other specifics. In this case it's that it's supposed to be doing close ground attack missions and the loving gun is an afterthought. The article was just another note in a long row of different mission capabilities not fitting together and the loving thing being worse of at all the other ones as well.

The frustration is at watching enormous resources be pissed away, as well as the opportunity costs. For me it's a politics and bureaucracy thing. The nuts and bolts of it I don't claim any expertise over, and if that leads me to say dumb poo poo then I do actually appreciate being corrected.
