its clearly a bomber even though its classified as a strike aircraft ingame. it deserves airspawn

it’s a strike fighter by US designations,… so deal with it
litteraly a bomber disquised as a fighter btw…
above rank 5 = no air spawn (except tu95/b52)
wrong. many strike and fighter ingame in airrb and grb get airspawn
*Fighter
and tbh strike aircraft means multirole. What part of F-117 is multirole lol
The F for ‘Fighter’ was never anything more than a covert designation designed to disguise it’s true purpose as a bomb truck.
But Gaijin plays very loose with roles anyway. They call the F3D-1 Skyknight a Strike aircraft which is nonsense as it a dedicated night interceptor. But because in theory it could carry bombs, despite pics of this configuration being very rare, Gaijin quietly ignores the title in the Pilot manual and plays by their own rules as usual.

Do think aircraft more dedicated to ground strike than air 2 air combat should have air spawns further ahead at higher tiers.
Its currently impossible to get to a base in a Buccaneer, harrier 2 or similar bomber/cas aircraft because an aircraft more fighter oriented (mig 23) has napalm and more thrust per kg.
the F was a red herring put into the name to throw off what the vehicle actually is.
It should have been B-117 from what it actually does and how it was designed
the DOW still to this day has the aircraft so secretive that its “no longer in service”, yet i used to see them frequently flying from Norfolk.
