You are assuming that people on the ground would be able to spot the aircraft visually, which isn’t always that easy.

IMO it shouldn’t be 100% invisible all the time, I’d prefer there to be a certain visual detection range that requires clear LOS, triggering detection if you stay inside this area too long. Could be RNG or a fixed time

I’d agree with you for low light conditions and night.

But during the day? Thta black wedge stands out like a sore thumb…

thought the more modern carrier had radar guided stuff

It is an aircraft for narrow profile combat operations.

  1. according to available information, he only attacked at night, so black color…
  2. it is essentially an anti-ground attack aircraft-attacker
  3. is the navigation still secret, or any radar…
  • had to fly over the target and hit accurately… FLIR-DLIR-GPS systems I assume
  1. it is unstable at low speeds, hence its name “wobbly Goblin” and can only handle basic air maneuvers, it is strictly an attack aircraft…

So take off, get over the target, either fly straight to the target to drop bombs and disappear, or go around and drop bombs on the return course…
No delay over the target…
He always flew in front of the main attack group:

  • quickly over the target - accurate hard hit of the target - quickly from the target to the base…
    Targets, all at night - bunkers, air defense systems, important command and communication centers-buildings…
    They are not expected to perform tasks related to the direct support of ground troops …

It is not known that he could carry a Sidewinder, that he would train with it and anything like that … although such considerations, especially in the design phase were…
Probably, with the option of a guided missile, its target would be AWACS aircraft, or other large aircraft, reconnaissance and aircraft for the transfer and security of communications of enemy units…

[F-117A Nighthawk and Stealth Technology!]
Throw it away because it’s too slow and carries too few weapons.

I firmly believe this plane would be better as dreams come true reward, than squadron vehicle.
Both literally and gameplay wise.

Reminds me a bit of this Family Guy Scene

Hard disagree. 60 days gameplay of whatever mode you want in modest increments and the F117 is free, for everyone, with no time limits to attain it. What’s wrong with that?

331

Because F-117 is an actual dream come true.
Because if it was one time event it would ruin american teams once.
Because if it is squad vehicle it ruins american teams now, it will ruin them again in three months from now, and will carry on till War Thunder draws its last breath.

332

I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting it was too difficult to unlock. I didn’t realized you meant that this flying pinata was somehow going to decimate War Thunder for all eternity. That’s…

Spoiler

an interesting take 0.o
