The F-117 proves fairly useful in the ‘‘new’’ Nuclear Escalation gamemode, able to fly under (or rather above) enemy radar and strike SAM sites. It is a slow process, but it is fairly safe as long as you know how to do it.
Now, what I would propose, at least for this gamemode, is the addition of the B61 thermonuclear gravity bomb. The F-117 was able to carry several variants of the bomb with variable yields ranging from 0.3 kt to ~360 kt.
Of course, the upper yields are out of question, but for the gamemode, the 1.5 kt or 10 kt yields actually make sense.
It would allow the player to choose between a faster plane with more yield (f.e. the Jaguar with either 5 kt or 30 kt AN-52) and a slower plane with less total yield (3 kt or 20 kt), but being harder to be seen by the enemy.
And there are no F-117 counterpart in the world by around its date of service from the Soviets or Chinese. The ficticious MiG-37B is a model created by Testors in late '80s which could be the closest and more realistic (in realistic for the technology at the time) Soviet counterpart for the F-117 which could use Method Of Edge Waves In The Physical Theory Of Diffraction that F-117A did in some aspects.
Which in my opinion would be a great aircraft, but since it never existed as a ficticious model, which the Soviets never worked on and Gaijin ‘doesn’t’ touch on ficticious works, then it’s just a day-dreaming stuff. Other stuff like the MiG 1.44 or the MiG-2000 probably won’t be in-game and those don’t work the same like the F-117.
