Squadron Vehicles: F-117A Nighthawk and Stealth Technology!

It is though… because one option is none and the other is a mix, i’m not asking about making all of it theoretical.
If you have even one theoretical then you have them, if you don’t you don’t.
It’s literally impossible to make it a gray area in this case as the gray area automatically becomes “having theoretical matchups”.

So then it is as i said, its not about a blanket issue, its about specific cases you want fixed or changed.

put it higher than that and no one will be able to play it in air modes. It’s a game, it’s supposed to be about fun, not about accurate matchups.

That is a sad outlook to have on the game.

you’re thinking to big, CAS and bombers in air modes work as it is currently, it might not be as diverse as it could be, but that doesn’t mean that those two aren’t accommodated for, why do you think ground AI and bases exist?

You have to think smaller in that case, and if you accommodate one type of bomber it might not accommodate another. all bombers/CAS don’t work the same.

See above, my statement puts shades of gray into one of the options. if you have gray, then the gray can be moved, then it isn’t a blanket issue, its an issue on specific matchups that aren’t to your specific liking. If the gray area is already there, then that is the blanket function you just want specific thing about it to change, not to change the entire blanket.

it quite literally semantically does.

That makes perfect sense, but is not what you first said, it might have been what you ment, but not what you said. This is why semantics are important.

Next you’re gonna compare B-29 and BF109 E3.

Your complaint was the MIG-17 and F-117 being at the same BR. Clearly the MIG will be no match for the 117.

I don’t find meeting F-117s in a MiG-15 fun.

Is not wanting attack helicopters in an F1 racing game a sad lookout on the game?

This “accommodation” you’re talking about is just sad. CAS and bombers trying to do their thing is like a stray dog eating leftovers on the street.

Merciful fighter players allow them to have targets to drop bombs at, that in practice don’t change the outcome of the battle at all. All while there is an extremely high chance of getting killed by a fighter in the process, practically a suicide mission every time, especially at higher BRs.

It may be. I have a strict/scientific mind (as opposed to a humanist, I don’t know if that’s a thing in English) and often have communication issues. People often say to me that I need to be more specific, because they don’t know what’s in my mind.

And you are free to feel that way. but F-117 players won’t think its fun to play at higher BR, so…

not even close to comparable.

which i acknowledged in my post. but you for some reason left it out of the quote.

Been there, thought myself to be better at formulating my own thoughts into something others can understand. It has saved me A LOT of trouble in life.

What do you find fun? Maybe you should give us all the rules that you think should be imposed so we can discern what your vision of the game is…

If Gaijin:

-was willing to change how Air RB works in a fundamental way, placing more emphasis on the ground attack mission as opposed to only encouraging team deathmatch

-modeled the stealth more correctly so it’s stealthy in every direction and not just a few degrees in the front

-modeled the IR reduction more correctly so you’re not blasted to smithereens by Fox-2 from 5km out

-changed spotting mechanics so you wouldn’t have a giant red text above you 25 km out

Then I’d indeed find having the F-117 in a higher BR more fun, engaging, and rewarding

Sadly this is not the case right now.

Also: the ground attack and base bombing aspect of WT hasn’t changed since the game came out, it’s still stuck in WW2 with pure tonnage of bombs dropped being the only quality you measure attackers by. What about accuracy? The F-117 could have a valuable niche being able to bust bunkers with pinpoint accurate LGBs but sadly this is not valued at all in the current terms of the game

There is also no opposition except for enemy player aircraft, no enemy SPAA threat at all to circumvent/penetrate. A WW2 bomber could just as easily destroy strategic objectives as the F-117, and this is… flawed

That design was for efficency

Still not a stealthy aircraft :P

Dont forget actual air to air weapons

Yeah as mentioned in my other reply

That design was for efficency not stealth

Any stealth was pure accident

You’re right maybe I’ll fix it and use another Strike Aircraft from 8.7.

I could say a lot, show some pictures, but I think saying this will be much quicker and convey the idea pretty well.

I wish to play something like GHPC, but with multiplayer. I would also like to have the tactical depth and competition WOT has and maybe 1 life only too, but I’m not sure about it. Also a bit more accessible, a bit more interface, to make it feel more like a game.

Basically I want an experience very close to sim, but made as a game with minimalistic, but present, clear and themed interface. I find something as simple as the loading screen in War Thunder before the battle, the green one with aircraft pictures/schemes, to be a nice touch.

I find interface in “KARDS - The WW2 card game” to be very well done. It has beautiful images/art too.

In War Thunder it could merge really well with planes too.

I also find it very cool in War Thunder that you can see different weapons systems in the same game and even in the same battle. You get a very nice uniform feel, if you know what I mean.

I’m confident that both the power of a 500kg bomb and a 37mm, 75mm or 120mm gun are realistic and comparable. I’m confident that a 50 cal on the Mustang is exactly the same as a 50 cal on top of a Sherman.

Recently I wanted to buy Squad, but after playing during a free weekend I found it very CPU heavy and unoptimized. It’s also an infantry-centric game, tank’s damage models aren’t very realistic.

I think a lot of people forget how well warthunder is optimized

I was able to run in a playable state on a mid range 2010 laptop with the cpu integrated graphics that was also water dameged (around 2021-2022 at the latest, i have upgraded around that time)

Not many games could boast something like that
