Who else would get it? Name one singular stealth-oriented attack helicopter from any other nation.

Stealth helicopters are absolutely real, the Bin Laden raid was done with Silent Hawks (stealth Blackhawks), which were built with lessons learned from the RAH-66 program almost 30 years earlier. The efficacy of the Comanche’s stealth mechanics are only questionable due to the F-117’s implementation in-game, which as we all know is 85% useless. Was the Comanche in reality on par with the Nighthawk in terms of stealth? Not at all. But again what it comes down to is what Gaijin dictates and the fact that War Thunder, despite its claim to fame being, “realism” is highly unrealistic.

Maybe i mix smt up here but the Binladen Raid was, as u saied, done by Silent Hawks, modified Blackhawks with the main purpose of making as little noise as possible.
“stealth” helis may be a thing, but as far as i know its basically just “less noise” and not really stealth in terms of Radar/IR signature, as u cant really to enough here to make a meaningfull impact. But ofc u try to minimize Radar signature, but its just dosnt do very much.

spoken like a true war thunder “expert”
serbians shot down 1 f117 and it was because the us was being incredibly stupid, the bomb bay is a small part of why it got shot down.

No one, I meant general stealth anyway, like the MiG 1.44 and Su-57, or Finnish/Swedish F-35’s, and things alike that.
Ah yes.

I was really looking forward to this helicopter, but boy… that’s hopefully not final, 'cause that’s some hot garbage right there.
Also kinda hilarious that in the Russian live stream the radar is useless just like the radars on helis on the live server (by the looks of it. I don’t speak Russian but they clearly say “radar” and he has trouble locking that plane, so…).
As for now, that’s a clear AVOID vehicle.
At least stingers were mentioned on Russian stream. For IR/RF Countermeasures you’ll have to wait
Report for the missing Stingers and Hydras

MiG 1.44 isn’t a stealth aircraft, nor a helicopter.
You must’ve missed:

No, I read it. Simply chose to ignore it.
