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?

a premium A-10A and Su-25K wallet warrior could never fathom logic my brother
i literally don’t know how they’d add it in a remotely playable fashion that is actually somewhat balanced around what it may face.
i don’t think they should add it at all. it seems like the kind of aircraft that players in fighters should be escorting, not playing as

True. :D

What radar missiles exist at 8.x outside the Vautour? Oh right, none.
Radar missiles are not and have never been the only threat.
Guns and IR missiles are a threat, and stealth doesn’t do anything against those.
The engines spew the IR signature upward which again doesn’t matter with aircraft fired IR missiles.
You are over-estimating F-117’s capability, by far.

A lie told often enough may become the truth. But we’re not there yet.

I was expecting it as an event maybe, just to test stealth but for the most part to be a meme aircraft. One only rarely seen in Sim and occasionally in ARB

and was essentially unceremoniously retired from frontline service shortly afterwards.
Put it this way
the least accurate thing of the trailer was the F-117 saving US top tier ground

People should stop lying about the 2S6. It hasn’t been as good as ADATS since April 2023.
