How are they actually going to balance the F-117

Again it’s only 2 bombs, and you sacrifice EVERYTHING else. 2 kills is not OP

I want to see what stealth will do / how it will work and F-117 is the weakest possible test platform for it.

Also the IR reduction stuff might translate into an IR overhaul which would massively buff aircraft like the Harriers.

So its a net gain. Just needs to be at a fair BR for GRB, which is gunna be the tricky thing

I guess so, but I feel like gaijin is going to stuff it up. I would rather it be an april fools event or such.

We do need this but I feel like the F-117 is just going to have a low IR signature like the F-5C

2 kills is not OP, the ability to get in, kill two people, then rearm is. But only at a BR that it works.

Well… At the moment its due to the low thrust of the F-5 and not inherrently a conscious choice by Gaijin. At least that is what im hoping. If they add the ability to artificially raise and lower it. Then Harrier’s coukd see a buff and the F-5s can see a nerf. Win win.

Eh F-117 has about double the thrust of the F-5C so I’m expecting double the missile lock thingy (idk what to call it but you understand). I am really not expecting gaijin to do a whole new IR overhaul just because of that. Hoping for it though

You seem to have forgot the Harrier is a British jet… and the F-5 is American

True… Unfortunately

I personally would say BR 10.7 ish

Again, it’s really not different from A-4E, and it sacrificies a TON for the rather small bomb upgrade

For air? The same BR as the SU-25? You know, with them being ROUGHLY the same speed, with the SU-25 having better loadouts and all aspect IR missiles that will destroy it in 80% of cases?

Maybe 10.7 for air battles and 9.7 for ground?

Try, 8.3 for air and 9.7+ for ground

Yeah… the SU-25 is better in every way… 9.7 ground I agree with though, because there’s no markers. Just compare the F-117 to the Buccaneer S.1 and then see how similar they are and the Buccaneer is at 8.7

Then fact that virtually none of the SPAAs can even engage you is absolutely broken.

Free kills and reloading is broke.

With Gaijins record with bombs I’ll say 2 possible kills.

He literally said A2G ordnance comparison not airframe performance. What LGB or TGP does the A-4E have?

A-4E has guns, turns better, is faster, can carry bombs and rockets, has missiles.

in terms of quantity yes but quality wise they were fighting equal aircrafts in late 20th century too. like in the Vietnam war the F-4 had to fight the MiG-21 which on paper was a counter to F-4

also flares and rwr

IMPO I tdont think F-117 is good idea to put in game since it will be either too OP or just useless…And Im afraid its gonna be useless
