Opening a can of worms.

I'm looking at the EW ratings of various aircraft in v10b.

US Army (OOB#12)
Unit#144 F-16C Falcon EW=8
Unit#145 F-16C Falcon EW=9
Unit#146 F-15E Eagle EW=10
Unit#156 F-15E Eagle EW=10
Unit#200 F-15E Eagle EW=10
Unit#201 F-16D Falcon EW=9
Unit#561 F-15E Eagle EW=12
Unit#595 F-22 Raptor EW=16 (currently x3)
Unit#920 F-35A JSF EW=12 (SEAD Aircraft)
Unit#921 F-35A JSF EW=9 (external ordnance)
Unit#927 F-16C Falcon EW=8
Unit#928 F-16D Falcon EW=8

Isn't the whole idea of the F-35 that it's more stealthy then the F-16/F-15? While with an external bomb load I can certainly understand it being rated the same as an F-16/F-15.

Admittedly WinSPMBT doesn't deal with "stealth" but it's sort of represented in an aircraft's EW rating, it's vulnerability to MPADs/SAMs/radar guided flack.
