Production F-35 too heavy to take off vertically

The E's likely have respectable maneuverability when empty, but I doubt it'd ever fare better than a C speedwise, due the conformal fuel tanks strapped to the side that really wreak havok with drag.

I was under the impression that the CFTs on the F-15 actually contributed very little to drag.
