if the f-35 is ready in 2012 why will the british aircraft carriers be without them till 2020?

@tapp40, you are absolutely right :) But just look wider, my friend. Underestimating any type of potential enemy planes is a terrible mistake. Simulator is only a simulator, no one can simulate aerodynamics precisely enough, so I wouldn't trus any good results when simulating planes. Speaking about B2 - look how much does it cost for USA (40 billion). I think this plane was a terrible idea. Not sure that F22 is also not - its price is suspiciously high as I told before.

@FXWorldBeater I know. My main point was compairing the two is an odd thing to do, one (F35) is infact built as a multi-role fighter, primarely to fill the gap of A2G. The F-22 is made for A2A. Its kinda the same thing about whats better the F-15 or F16... the two though very similar are not built for the same reason.

@eggrevolver What? lol War games? MILITARY EXCERSIZES! lol The F-22 is an A2A Dominence Plane like the F-15 and the F35 is a striker... You cant ev en compair the too realy and your mad im saying the f-22 is the better fighter lol yeah... ITS A A2A FIGHTER NOT A STRIKER lol and wth does the B2 have to do with anything?

@tapp40, I'm very pity for you if you are judjing planes by war games. If I was a designer of a fighter I would never ever tell anyone it's real capabilities. F22? Well, try to remember F117 "Wobblin' Goblin" which programm costs 6,5 billions USD. I can tell the same about B2 (2billions per unit). F22 is the most expensive fighter on earth. And the only operator is USA. There's no "every one else". Why am I not surprised? No offence, but they milk you and you smile.

@waaasteee The F-22 Raptor is set aside for important and special missions. ;-)

@BOROZ28 "2) a very thin advantage of pseudo .... bla bla and other drivel" Lol, you have absolutely no idea about any of the concepts of aircraft stealth and almost all of your points are completely incorrect and in many cases the complete opposite of fact. At the end of the day, the fact the rest the of the world's major powers (the one's with the money to test theory) are trying to emulate the F-22 is testament to its superior capability.
