A-6E.
Countermeasures doesn’t matter in ground RB except against other aircraft.
2S6 is inferior to both of those, and no it doesn’t.
Genuinely makes no sense why they even added this thing.
DoA.

8.3 AIR BRUH NO WAY
im gonna cry dude if they put it at 8.3 imagine trying to both find and shoot down an f-117 in an f3d or an f-86k or a javelin dude
Countermeasures were never proven nor disproven (classified) so I wouldn’t be surprised if they give it CMs just because
Generic sidenote I know people want stealth fighters but oh my god that would be MISERABLE to play against
Would’ve taken a TT A6 Intruder over this

In an air battle the plane will be at least useless, you will have two 2000lb bombs at most so not even enough to destroy a base, you are subsonic, you cannot defend yourself, you turn like a brick and your acceleration is non-existent (the plane has between 0.3 and 0.4 weight/power ratio)
indeed he will find himself at a surprising BR for such a modern plane but he will still not be able to do anything

I’m aware it sucks for A2A, I’m pointing out the absurdity of it being at 8.3

Finding F-117 is easy in air RB, you just go to a friendly base.

I think they’ll implement the stealth kinda like how it’s really hard to lock a heli using IR missiles, or they make it like how Radar goes janky when a locked plane goes behind an obstruction, but just always that kind of janky.
still lockable, just hard or janky.

it’s basically an A-4E Early without any guns or missiles

unfortunately it will be the only Br where it will perhaps be playable, I can’t see it higher and lower it would make even less sense
wouldn’t be hard to spot high flying planes honestly. You can spot the vapor trail of high flying aircrafts from around 15 kilometers away

reinforces my belief that this should have never been added in the first place. it’s either going to be horribly overtiered or horribly undertiered. there is no in between.
although, (praying rn) they could just put it at a br where it won’t be good specifically so it doesn’t destroy things below it with paveways
like put it where it makes sense and not necessarily where it would be “optimally performing” but that goes against their whole philosophy so i’m going to lose it either way

There’s no such thing as undertiering the F-117 in this case.
Your post is blatantly incorrect.

Will be at the same BR as the Buc S1, probably with air spawn though

Good luck handling the A-10 and Su-25 players crying they need an air spawn because they’re slower than F-117
i’m gonna lose my mind if that’s true man
They also have Flares, guns and AAMs. Not even the Buc S1 gets airspawn though
F-117 will likely be rank 6, thus no air spawn.

there is such a thing as undertiering and its “putting a stealth aircraft at a BR where nothing can effectively counter it because missiles don’t exist yet”
don’t forget, the f-117 was SPECIFICALLY designed to also minimize it’s IR signature as well as it’s radar signature

I cant think of any other aircraft that has no CMs, No Guns and no AAMs. WIth a limited A2G loadout.
Buc S1 at 8.7/9.9 (ARB/ASB) is the closest I can think of. Im guessing the F-117 though would perhaps get some kind of damage multiplier vs bases?
