maybe, just maybe the aesa radars will have no issue, however.

Currently the eft can detect the front aspect f117 at like 20 km but can not lock until under 10 and supposedly stuff like the f22 and j20 should be stealthier so it will depend if they base it off case claims or by their own RCS calculations how it is right now.

however I do have a question regarding the f35 vs eft thing cause I’ve heard this a few times do we have literally any knowledge of the circumstances, like i.e. rear or side aspect, lock/tracked or just scanned I’m really interested in this case.

I think we should all get more accustomed to the idea that there is a by now unginishable Priority list for Bug reports, suggestions and additions in WT development and unless it’s absolutely necessary changes like these will not happen at all, nobody will look at them and nobody will work on them simply because other things have priority (new Pantsir and Girthy engine model for J15 are obviously more important)

4941

F-117 has a Smaller RCS than F-22 F-35 and Su-57

^ if you don’t belive this please prove me wrong ^

idk about J-20 but I suspect it’ll be larger too

this is because the trade-off of Requiring a Subsonic aircraft with questionable Aerodynmics isn’t worth the Extra stealth in a Fighter

Also; changing coaxial MG ammo count from 1,900 to 1,700, or a top speed from 54.38 km/h to 54.70 km/h… much more important than a whole family of top tier tanks being unable to drive properly or another family missing integral parts of their protection xD

4943

those changes require literally 30s of work

modelling a Spall liner involves at least 3 people for several hours or days to get done

4944

goddamn even a single google search would have told me the f117 would have a smaller rcs without RAM lol, I do wonder how much ram coating would affect it though.

to be fair we will not know the ram rcs for like another 100 years

4945

Sorry, but what is the reasoning for that rule? And are there nuances to the rule, renaming for example?

4946

we won’t that’s true, but it’s probably not even remotely as much of a Reduction as you’d think

4947

Decent spall liners coverage is a marketing lie clearly. If equivalent era soviet vehicles don’t have them, then surely western tanks wouldn’t either

4948

Effort is needed to achieve greater changes? What a twist! xD

4949

soviet union would have Zero Battleships without this rule

and effort is obviously more work and thus easier to put on the Pile than a 30s value change like adjusting ammunition or top speed

4951

Huh, why? Wouldnt both the RS and Ark be in the game without that rule?

4952

*no competitieve battleships

4953

i know lol, but it is funny to imagine in your head that this ram coating might,(might it isnt but you never know lol) just make it 1 million time less detectable. I just want to see a b52 covered in just ram and being like all of a sudden have a 1m^2 RCS

to be fair if ram was this super amazing massively radar absorbing coating we would see them on literally every jet.

4954

I assume the rule is just a restriction to “force” a bit more diversity in added ships/shipmodels

It does lead to some unfortunate realities though. With this rule in effect we’ll never see BBV Ise.

4955

if it worked this good I can assure you all USAF and USN Aircraft after 2000 would be covered in this paint only

4956

Are you referring to the requirements needed to add a ship to the game, perhaps?

4957

to be fair I wish they would still the f35 and f22 black/gray is hella cool

4958

sorry misunderstood the thing
