Yeah I sort of forgot to add that option and didn’t realise it until it was too late. If I add it now it resets the all the votes from that poll.

It might work at 10.3 max.

+1, this would be a nice top tier equivalent to the F-117
The USAF Fact Sheet was updated back in May with an increased payload capacity.
It’s official payload capacity has been increased from 40,000lbs to 60,000lbs.
It’s not a surprise since we already knew that it could carry 2 x GBU-57’s which each weigh 30,000lbs but the official capacity was still 40,000lbs but now we have an updated number.

Such a beautiful and capable bird.
Hopefully it’s coming in a future 2027 update.

Funny enough the B2 might have been tested with Air-To-Air missiles as a missile truck. The B-21 is rumored to have a more professional set up for these that don’t interfere with the other roles.
I could see value in the B-2 in the future of top tier naval if mines are reworked to last the whole match or to hunt and finish off ships. USA seems bent on making the B2 and B-21 have more anti-ship missiles but otherwise this plane would be a nice battle truck.
Hopefully the Chinese H-20 rumors are true and not AI as it would give the B2 and B-21 in game something of a equal.
Keep an eye on B2 as though she is getting up there USA is not giving up on them also there is a chance Australia might buy some B-21s though unlikely.
Also if added I think it would be the first fly by fiber optic system or part system in game unless some of our trainers in game use it. Much lighter and less cable is needed while being immune to electrical issues and allowing more inputs per cable a nice addition that would have zero barring on the game but cool no less.

The one weakness of the B2 is its not really supposed to work in heavily contested environments. If there opponent has aircraft up and doing patrols there is always the risk of them bumbling into the B2 (future drone fighters and loitering SAMs could be a issue). WarThunders environment is to full of aircraft so your stealth wont be as useful because someone will wander into range where there radar will pick up the B2 or be seen on optical sensors. Let alone the mark 01 eye ball of a f-86 sabre pilot who is trolling!
Basically B2 would not be as useful in lets say the south China sea now without heavy damage to enemy systems first which might not be possible so you keep them safe. With WarThunder everyone is running at 100% so the tactical utility of B2 wont be as high but still should be added as it can be a great bomb truck.
the main issue with stealth aircraft ingame is balancing while it could be nerfed to have a bigger rcs no other country has a dedicated stealth bombing platform so essentially ground rb would be ruined because of the amount of ordinance it can carry combined with the fact that spaa would be basically useless against it. unfortunately a plane like the b2 has no place in the game as of right now and for the forseeable future
