I wonder if we will ever see stealth aircraft. Im imagining it will be hard to balance. But none the less, would be an interesting addition. I think we’ll have to wait for the F-117 and see how the game “reacts” to it first
With how radars are in game currently, I don’t think stealth aircraft would be very stealth. Closest to being stealth at least for top tier jets is turning your radar off so people don’t know your around.
Yep… and if it was modeled truly. Top tier would just be F22 vs F22, and nothing else would exist, at least in the BVR phase. The game needs a great deal of maturing to do before its ready for that. Though at least with something like the F-117, the issues can be ironed out, without adversly affecting the game for most.
If they decided to add the F22, at least in air RB, a way they could balance while still giving it a stealth aspect is you need to be much closer to anyone using the f22 or other stealth aircraft for the name tag to appear
Definitely will. IR missile meta will come back for it, that and players will fly their stealth aircraft above mach 1 & with external stores.
Do we really think WT players will limit themselves to 4 missiles & subsonic speeds on F-35 for example? :)
We’ll see.
They’re only resistant to the intense yelling from radars tho.
IR missiles will still see the heat.
WT should have it easier to notch & dodge ARHs than DCS, and DCS is somewhat easy when you’re aware of their launches.
As always. The other issue is balancing it for all nations. There is already some issues at top tier with some nations have capable jets, and others not.
F22 for US
Su-57 for USSR
F-35 for a few other nations, maybe, but its better suited for CAS
This leaves a lot of nations at a potentially major disadvantage.
Not against it, but i think it needs to be a cautious addition. Prehaps an event needs to be done before they start working on them. See how the community responds to “stealth”
Well, reduced-visibility fighters like Su-57 & Rafale will exist.
Technically USSR & France won’t have anything stealth. Though there are over 2 years of BR additions to add before stealth is a serious position, so that gives USSR-compatible countries & France to consider things IRL to give Gaijin an idea of what to add for them.
But yeah, it’d be F-35 for USA, Italy, Britain, Japan, Israel, Sweden [Finland], Germany.
J-20 for China.
Yeah, i hated the period of time where everyone was in F4s and now its F-16s. Makes ASB a pain in the butt. So everyone being in F-35s would kinda suck. Though id rarely touch it. Would always be in a typhoon.
