Every stat

Bar length is where this aircraft ranks against the whole roster, always with best at full length. The label is the real value, and where the wiki defines a stat its own description sits underneath.

Outstatted on core stats

The F-35 Lightning is matched or beaten on all 7 core stats, at the same hangar level or lower, by Typhoon FGR4.

That is a statement about 7 raw numbers, not a verdict. Abilities, weapons, handling and hitbox size are not in the comparison, which is why plenty of outstatted aircraft are still worth flying. Put them side by side and decide for yourself.

Where these numbers come from

Every published figure on this page is reproduced from the F-35 Lightning page on the MetalStorm wiki, as it stood on 2026-08-18. This tool copies the wiki, it does not measure the game, so a number you disagree with is a question for the wiki editors rather than for us. The exception is a number here that differs from the one there: that is a fault in this tool, and worth reporting.
