in the past they’ve always done that with april fools Events

and I doubt stealth will be any different

Regardless, we must throw a nuclear bomb at Gaijin☠

A bit more fair, but I think that’s only ever going to be an issue initially when everyone is rushing to try it out. People, generally speaking, don’t play bad vehicles so I doubt the F-117 would see enough usage after the initial novelty dies out.

If only it was night time or poor visibility more often, then the F-117 could actually use it’s stealth.

In clear sky you’re just a big black dot like all others, not to mention name tag in realistic and arcade

Why is everybody so damn excited about the F117? Yes it is a very unique and cool looking plane but it will be outperformed by anything and everything in basically every situation

it doesn’t matter

if it’s below 10.0 it’ll be at a BR where the best Missile is some AiM-9B or E and the regular way ro fight people is to throw High explosive bullets at each other

if it’s above 10.0 then ohno the radar detection range of this thing went from 30km to 10km, you’re still eating a Dogfight and an R-23 before reaching your base

I could generate a longer of a list of “hypersonic” that are just ballistic missiles. There are some good free online courses you can get related to A&P/GROL training that touch on it more. I point my people towards Udemy for a baseline or MIT Lincoln but I think that might be a payed course.

But this is getting pretty off topic so I’ll leave it at that and we can agree we disagree.

Let’s pick up some goods!

literally everyone is talking about how it’s in every sense of the word a bad add, it’s only benefits will be

  • Ground Battles due to harder radar detection + no name tag
  • Sim Battles
  • Testing Stealth

and it’s not really even gonna be GOOD in those first 2, just not unusable like it will be in air

Sure man, you are smarter than every radar system developer who writes that their AESA is X-band

Because the F-117 has a lot of star power owing to being the first operational stealth “fighter”, and people thought it would never be added. Honestly, kinda weird it isn’t the vehicle for Dreams Come True. Would be a perfect fit for the event.

now if it was the naval one that they proposed… THEN THIS DISCUSSION WOULD BE DIFFERENT. But it’s not.

remember that there are already AESA and PESA based SAMs above 10.3 that will negate some of the stealth to the point where it doesn’t matter anymore

Pantsir ASRAD and ITO will have an easy time with it, and that means it has no advantages for ground

I doubt they would add the 18C and 15E to the US in the same update.

The 18s are probably saved for the december update.
