the comanche wont be stealthy. rotors light up a PD radar as if it was electronic warfare.
there’s a reason why the heli was dropped from US plans
Serbia
Russia gets a paper rocket now in the marathon also paper object 640, and most importantly this is already the second exclusive copy-paste since the beginning of the new marathon other countries have not received anything yet, only the usual copy-paste. The US built and tested all this a long time ago, and the rest refused this, considering that a plane with a thrust vector is better and therefore continued to build the old way and changed their minds only recently, therefore they are too modern for the game. P.s. If we talk about unfair, then the red team is ahead of everyone in getting the best (how many years has the Pantsir been there already) while others are waiting for 5 years.

Yugoslavs did that
The black eagle is a real tank though…
Su-57 is too far, something more along the lines of the MiG 1.44 or early prototypes that have very little stealth ability with the advent of better weapons, same with other nations.
Oh, if it’s premium it makes perfect sense then, if not, idk what to think at that point.
Well they made the first stealth aircrafts with the F117, other countries still struggling with this area even nowaday.

Shall I list all the decisions gaijin has made over the years to keep the soviets competitive? I don’t think I can, but I will start:
-
KA-50/52 dominance in GRB for years which has only recently come to an end because of #3
-
Only nation with decent spaa for like three years
-
Best CAS nation in game b/c of the KH-38MT and S-130Fs
-
UFO soviet armor
-
Unwillingness to give NATO CAS FnF capabilities or NATO ground modern rounds for MBTs b/c soviets have no analogues and would obliterate balance between ground vehicles
-
Questionable additions to the game such as the Kronshtadt and the Sevastopol
-
Made center-mass hit to NATO mbts always disable turret traverse based on little to no evidence
-
Nerfs to stingers because “muh igla”
-
PT-76-57, BMP-2s, and 2S38 are criminally under-BR’d while the Bradley is useless at the same BR. Speaking of, 50 cals got an overheating mechanic because “too op,” but no overheating for these?
-
Thermals for T-80B and U based on single prototype, but still waiting on those prototype Abrams hulls…

Stealth is pretty much irrelevant in the game because of the map sizes and distances involved. It still has the same Hellfires and ATAS as the AH-64D. It’s just going to be a gimmick and probably sell a lot because it looks cool, but that’s about it.
The only thing that annoys me it’s that it’s a premium and not an event reward or tech tree. I’d love to get my hands on it, but I’m not paying 70-80 bucks for a vehicle on a tech tree I already grinded.

Add on three vehicles with working APS in the same tree for the Russians.
Well, A-12 did have an early RAM coating wayyy back in 60’s
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.
