It's like calling an escalade a navigator, except the planes dont even look nearly as similar.

Neither plane carries machine guns.
You don't know what "flat" means because neither of those planes are flat.
The P38 Lightning of the second world war was a ground attack plane, are you implying that it is interchangeable with modern aircraft simply because it fulfilled a similar role?

I don't know where to start because I am laughing too hard. First of all, I was implying these features in BF3, not Real life. Second, Flat-Like was the term I believe I used to point that it stood out from most jets of modern day. Thirdly, The P38 Lightning didn't hover, It's not in BF3, Nor is it a modern aircraft of today's date making your argument completely irrelevant to this topic of the forums.
P.S. I highlighted the important parts so you would actually read this time.

Machine guns tend not to fire explosive shots that whittle down tanks and make extremely short work of other jets.

A vague and open-to-interpretation term that contributes nothing to the description then.
The F35 does not stand out from the pack because it is "flat-like", it stands out because of its trapezoidal wings and sharp, angular appearance.
The Harrier does not stand out because it is "flat-like", it stands out because it looks lumpy as hell.

Neither is the Harrier.

What else do you call a rapid-firing weapon that shoots large caliber bullets at high speeds?

A fancy puffed-up sentence that can also be interpreted to mean "smooth/flat-like appearance of an F35 or Harrier. Also, learn some geometry since you don't know what a trapezoid is.

The Harrier hovers...giving it at least one factor to be related.
Also, something that shoots "explosive rounds" can be considered an auto-cannon which i believe is classified as a type of machine gun.
