Also get 30 more CMs
That would be the only meaningful thing for current WT… But at 14.3 it won’t be very good anyway due to the very limited loadout
Lower RCS makes your countermeasures relatively more effective, and also ECM
This is a very meaningful suggestion since Gaijjn will implement ECM mechanism and make RCS more detailed so that they can introduce 5gen jets.

I guess, but not as the game currently is, I think that will take some time
Aircraft like this and the block 3 super hornet with its reduced rcs design would be good test platforms before adding true stealth jets to experiment. I could imagine there’s euro jets with it to add and redfor platforms. Most 4++ platforms incorporate it
This is exactly why I suggested it. Also suggested F-15E1, the tech demonstrator for the F-15SE that flew with AESA, RAM coating, and Conformal Weapons Bays.
Adding in these “stealth” 4.5 gens before we see 5th gens will give us a better test of low RCS on an actual fighter platform.
For the US there’s HG V F-16’s, F-15E1, F/A-18E/F Block III, and potentially the F/A-18XT. Other nations don’t really have anything similar apart from France through Denmark who use HG on their F-16’s but the rest’s aircraft already have RCS reductions IRL so Gaijin could model it for those.
I think gaijin will add “everything” at the same time, it’s how historically it’s been. Tests are done in the dev servers (although often very rushed).
F-16CM pobit at 14.3 is subpar, the have glass version would be a bit better, but I wager it will still be DOA and still not worth it using over the F-15C GE, which has a much better loadout and more countermeasures, radar with better fov, with just a slightly worse FM
