A game that uses all modern weapons and vehicles somehow feels futuristic to you? We've had airplanes that could take off like this for a while now...
 
from the wiki:


The X-32 (also known as the "Fugly Fighter" or the "Ugly Duckling") featured a large chin mounted air intake and a large one piece wing, neither of which contributed to the sleek, awe-inspiring look expected from high tech warcraft. This "gape-mouthed" design earned the aircraft the alternate nickname "Monica."

Cigar, anyone?

Poor Poor Boeing :laugh:
 
The boeing had an inferior vertical lift system too, the Lockheed version has the additonal fan to keep it stable.
