This thread is dedicated to documenting bugs with the F-117, and sources that prove they’re bugs. I’ll start.
The rudder is actually a ruddervator, but only serves as a rudder ingame…

love naming of it
Yes, Night Hawk was a great name for this beautiful beast.
Any other aircraft in game that actually have that. Sounds like the classic thing of being way beyond the spaghetti code’s abilities
We have elevons, why can’t ruddervators?
Remember… This is Gaijin we are talking about here

this plane would be peak if it had aim 9L or something in bomb bays
According to some airforce guy, it could mount any weapon in the U.S airforce’s arsenal, with exception of radar guided munitions. I don’t know if it’s true, however I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to mount AGM-65Es. Sadly, 65Es came out like, 2 years after the F-117 was released.
aim 7 sparrow according to the war zone to shoot down awacs
also heard rumors of aim 9 side winders on wing mountble pylons
The War Zone concluded that there was no evidence of a radar being mounted, and no missile had ever been fired. Although taken as JDAMs were tested decades after the F-117’s introduction, maybe the possibility of AGM-65Es isn’t so far fetched.
i mean cant be that hard they put one a f6f-5 for crying out loud

We have hard evidence of an F6F-5K being modified for one though. The Nighthawk is still shroudded in secrecy.
yes cant wait for F117X
Dare I say this, short of Aim-9Ls, would any IR missile be of any use and then do you really want the F-117 to be at 10.3/10.7 in air modes with no CMs?
Would be better to find upgrades in A2G for it as well as overhauls for how GBUs interact with things like bases to give it greater value in that A2G department. Wont be much good in the current ARB, but would make it a very fun aircraft in Air sim and maybe a future RB EC gamemode
give it a AIM 9 D or something keep it ballanced
also WHY do i need to GET kills to get skins IN A PLANE WITH NO GUNS WHY NOT BOMB TONNAGE INSTEAD
Woukd it actually ever realistically be able to employ them, Ive not flown nor fought against one yet. But I seriously cant imagine you would reliably get rear-aspect shots
This… I couldnt agree more. I guess the idea being you would get ground kills in GRB with it, but that sucks for anyone who does not enjoy ground. Taking me a very very long time to get skins in the Tornado Gr4 with odd kill I get in Air Sim.
If it got AGM-65Es, they could be a rudimentary A2A missile. Normal AGM-65s work well against helicopters atleast.
no clue i have 51k rp till is done so ill let ya know
