I think thats perfect

From testing videos it seems like the limited bomb capacity balances the stealth aspect - however while I acknowledge that they are playtesting stealth at the moment, the stealth aspect has been heavily buffed.
Some planes won’t lock the Nighthawk until they’re practically about to kiss.
I still think this will be most usless plane in game. Unfortunately

It can still be shit down with guns tho. And with markers in AirRB you can quite easily find it.
Yeah, the plane isn’t going to be breaking any BR.
It gives me hope though that the MiG-25/31PD comes to Russia as an event vehicle given it’s assumed DoA status.

Oh the 117 recived a stealth buff today?
I was referring to that it’s stealth factor seems artificially higher than it should be. Stealth doesn’t mean that you are invisible to radars completely, it just reduces the distance at which you can be detected.
Within 2ks, every stealth aircraft should be picked up by even the earliest radars.
Considering the testing I have tried and the testing I’ve seen from youtube videos. Unless it had its values changed it is far from over preforming.
Also where do you get your information about it’s preformance against certain radars?
Yes stealth reduces not eliminates but early radars were really not that great. So how would you know if the 117 is over preforming everything is a crap shoot.

Maybe as a squadron vehicle like the 117? That makes the more unique vehicles more accessible

This is more my opinion than an official statement of fact. One video I watched (I forgot who by but I can find it again if it matters to you) a MiG-21 failed to lock the F-117 in a head on until under 2k distance.
Considering that’s practically a stone’s throw distance (relatively speaking), imo it shouldn’t of had issues locking.

That’s what I was thinking. the MiG-25/21 doesn’t really have a place in the game but a lot of people would love to see it.

Yeah, exactly. Just like the F-117 (I’m obviously one of the people who really want it XD)
It also opens the door for other “less useful” vehicles later on
Oh bet, that’s fair, I just hope it’s not gonna be a spammed out one sided monster
F-117 in air would be balanced at pretty much any BR since its completely trash and useless.
In ground currently its 10.0 which is fine and is still worse than most other cas planes.
I really dont see this as a “balancing” problem other than the plane being literally impossible to grind because its so bad.
