Major problem with the F-22 is the fly-by-wire controls. It's capable of doing things that a human can't and it compensates several hundred times a second for any errors in maintaining stable flight. It's like suddenly losing power steering on one of those gigantic dump trucks when the 'puters crash in the Raptor.
