Finally; I dont even play USA, but I have both the LOSAT and AGS, so this vehicle will be a perfect addition to my "Cool looking US Weapon systems" lineup.
Grinding this thing is going to be an absolute nightmare. You don't even have enough bombs to destroy one base in air RB and you can destroy at most 2 maybe 3 ground units in one pass. Sim might be the only option, but the plane is quite slow, so getting around the battlefield will take a lot of time.
@@Hunter_i86 proberly the only sane thing to use it in, considering the spam amount of this plane there will be in 8.7 air rb after its release, it will be near imposible to win matches with it as well, so halfing your exp income on top of only 2 bombs, is gonna be very painfull.
I cant wait for the SLAM-ER. Its found on the F-16 and Fa-18 in dcs. Its really nice modeled so you have to put the coordinates and final approach etc into the computer of the hornet/viper.
another vehicle that totally fits perfectly in the game and will have absolutely no potential issues with balance Edit since people don't seem to get it: The f117 doesn't belong in warthunder with its current state. Gaijin lately has had an obsession with adding weird and wacky vehicles to increase sales with no care to how it will affect balancing. Have a look at artillery in ground battles. A vehicle like the M109, a modern artillery piece in active service, is at the same BR as the tiger 1 because it isn't meant to be an anti tank vehicle. The F117 was a stealth nuclear bomber with very low conventional payload. Because the F117 has such a low payload, is subsonic, and has no guns, it's going to 10.0 where the sole gimmick of stealth doesn't matter, the most impressive radar at 10.0 is a gunsight one. Gaijin add these vehicles to try and get people to pay GE to skip the grind for a cool looking vehicle, F117 is a squadron vehicle and as such will be purchasable for ~$70AUD, the VIDAR is ~$60AUD, F89D, XP50, etc. TLDR: Gaijin keep adding pointless things with no consideration as to how they'll fit in the current meta or where their place will be in the game
This is one I'm super excited for. I was obsessed with it as a kid. As an adult, it's one of the main reasons I have a membership to the local air Zoo. They have a F-117 they restored named Shaba. Got to meet and talk to her combat pilot from the Yugoslavian war stuff. I asked him how the Hawk handled, since with that wing sweep angle on a subsonic I was curious. He said she had a long takeoff and landing, but once she was up to speed she handled like any other fighter. I've been worried Gaijin will make it a brick shithouse with very nerfed stealth at launch.
Best museum experience imo, you can get so much closer than at Dayton or anywhere else, even in the workshop. I went a few years ago when they were still building parts for Shaba, and this older guy saw my group, talked for a few minutes, then invited us past the ropes to look through their archives and see exactly what was being built. At the time they were also working on a Dauntless recovered from Lake Michigan in preparation to send it off to the Pearl Harbor anniversary. Took it from a complete wreck (I saw the photo albums) to near-airworthiness. The guy said the USAF was looking at several places to see which civilian org would get which retired F-117. They asked all the directors/curators how soon each could have the aircraft on display given the reconstruction that would be needed after parts were stripped. Some said 6+ months, some said a year, the Air Zoo (iirc) said 3 hours and thus got dibs on Shaba. They rolled it into the maintenance shop and sure enough, you could walk right up to it
@@Nighthawk2401 That sounds like it might have been Greg Ward. He's the head of restoration over there. He took me behind the ropes once to show off some of the custom parts they had built for the FM-2 restoration. That one took them ages. Real nice guy. If you've never seen the documentary about those Great Lakes training carriers, I highly recommend it. Called Heroes on Deck. It tells the super cool story of why there's so many old warbirds rotting at the bottom of Lake Michigan. I've lived in Kalamazoo my whole life and I still remember as a kid back when it was just that one building where Shaba is now. I love how much it's grown. Still just a tiny hole in the wall compared to Wright Patterson, but... I don't have to drive way down to another state to see something fun. I was even blessed enough to do a few walkthroughs of Texas Raiders before the tragedy took her. I sadly missed it when they wheeled Shaba in on the trailer, but I heard it was quite the party! Lots of local news footage and social media posts of her traveling down the highway. Glad to hear someone else loves our little Zoo. Thanks for sharing!
@@Hunter-rr5ue Because the F117 is kinda useless, the Comanche would have a decent set of weapons as well as being stealth. Russia has no equivalent so Gajin would be reticent to add it.
@@FreeRojava2025 Bro the Comanche would basically be an Apache with a smaller loadout, and even if it were OP the argument that they won't add it because Russia never made a stealth helicopter is stupid.
If the F117 is indeed added in 8.7, we need to remember that the me 262 c2 b is in 8.0, meaning the first fighter jet in history will regularly meet a fifth generation bomber frequently in the ARB, simply gaijin being the gaijin
But it's not really stealth, there are already videos about it. I would honestly have been surprised if the plane only had the signature of a pigeon, as in reality.
Well stealth doesn’t work at those ranges irl however the rcs of it isn’t what it should be in game for angles other than straight front. Most people that are complaining about it’s rcs don’t understand how stealth aircraft work, they delay detection not get rid of it that’s what jaming is for
@@simplegamerz9485detection is not even the problem. It’s the fact pretty much any radar is able to solid lock with no issue. Its location blipping on the radar without a solid lock being possible would be more realistic.
@@ICECAPPEDSKY yes at longer ranges and the main problem is that it seems like there is no rcs implemented and is instead a range number from the front of the aircraft which is the easy way of doing it but it does hurt the stealth of the f117
This baby in air sim in dark/nighttime will thrive as well as in the same conditions on ground. She might be a one trick pony and only work well in certain aspects, but those aspects is where she will shine bright and why I'm still very excited to have this thing added to WT as well as being hopeful for the B2 and B21 in the future to come to the game still
Yeah it seems to be modeled to be stealth from straight on but then nothing once you are looking straight it’s kinda weird but I understand it’s the dev server but also they need to add an actual rcs into the game it would change how air is played and same with ground but it’s a lot of work to do
Unlike whatever Ive seen on youtube, after extensive testing and thinking, i personally think this plane will be amazing at killing 1 or 2 pantzirs in the right hands. Now I dont think itll be as good as an f16C per say or the new eagle coming, but lets say u come across that 1 competent pantzir user who is actually functional human being and intercepts icoming weapons succesfully while using his multilock tws, which i have seen in game luckily and proudly. I would have this plane being the perfect solution to that, fly real high up whilst having ur target saved, drop gbu or jadam at like 14 15 km then dive, get closer while notrching, do it again, then go cold. I think this aircraft will be an absolute hidden gem in the right hands. Out of everyone ive seen on yt u are probly the only one who will use this properly so cant wait for that!
Why bring this into a higher BR? Should be fine at 10.0. Speed works better against the Pantsir. Use the F16 or F15 and dive in a notch. I dodge Pantsirs fairly easy that way.
Laser guided bombs with high resolution thermal optics makes this plane better than any other CAS plane at 10.0 even if you completely ignore the stealth aspect. It's going to make BR 10.0 absolute hell for players in ground battles, but since it's american players give it a gold star of approval while the russian meme grom missile triggers outrage.
I expect F-117 to be a gimmick plane more than full on CAS meta but still will be fun to play with and against. Great work as always hunter! Keep it up!
hunter i wonder when first helicopter you get before or after make some video game in war thunder? And also that f-117 nighthawk was non-stealth so thar easy do down with SPAA
Japan still waiting for a new jet with A-G capabilities 🫥. This thing at 10.0 in GRB will completely break the game. Imagine that not even in a full doqntier, an ozelot with old stingers will be overkilled by 2 gigantic guided nukes.
Its cool but it wont be effective, im more happy that its introduction now means they have 0 excuse not to add the RAH-66 Comanche as a 10.7 premium US heli, we dont have any good US premium helis, let alone any below 11.7 that arent time gated trash. Its a prototype and fits the classic criteria to make an interesting and good premium that fills a gap USA has too.
So a meme missile only useful for killing bases is a weapon that war thunder is not ready for, but a stealth bomber with high resolution thermal optics and precision laser guided bombs at the crazy low BR of 10.0 is a pleasant surprise?
@@Hunter_i86Lol My buddy and I are already cooking on some ideas with this thing. Fly it only on night battles, hunt SAMs in GRB. That’s it. Meanwhile one of us flies CAP and does our best to fly escort/keep the sky buzzing with activity to minimize the chances of them finding the Nighthawk.
Assuming it is modelled correctly it'll be next to impossible for AA to lock if flown properly. The only time one was shot down IRL they new exactly when it was coming, where it was coming from, what frequency to scan for and then waited for it to open the bomb bays which increased its radar signature enough to get a lock. So basically most of the War Thunder playerbase will fly it wrong, get shot down and complain.
cool factor to make people skip squadron grind and buy it for $70. absolutely no reason to have a nuclear stealth bomber in the game, it's literally just going to be another revenge cas aircraft like the drones.
@@MacMeaties First off, no - the SPAA in War Thunder is so modern that it should realistically have no issue locking it. Second off, the bomb bay thing is a myth with absolutely 0 proof, there are flight plans and charts proving that the plane was shot down long after dropping its bombs, that is all confirmed by the pilot, by the position of the SAM site, by the heading of the plane and by the fact that it crashed 30km away from its bombing target after dropping the bombs. There is absolutely 0 proof that the bomb bay door was open when it was shot down or that it had any effect. In fact the opening of the bomb bay is automatic and it closes way too fast for the SNR-125 to aquire a lock and guide in the SAM which took almost a minute in real. life. Stop spreading misinformation and myths, you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@veliki_dlek Well there you go then. If you have readily available sources I'd like to read them as the bomb bay thing seems commonly parroted, would like to know where that started. Is it one of those propeganda myths like the longwave radar thing being complete shite as well? (Zoltán Dani supposedly admitted that wasn't true in a documentary). It seems to be one of those subjects where you're either hearing what the Americans want you to think or what Serbia wants you to think and I'd bet half of that is bullshit from both sides.
Playing this game is no longer interesting either you have a huge advantage playing for the ussr realizing that you are just beating nato ... or suffer playing against the ussr. I think after the developers gave the ussr and the u.s. bombs again. they are waiting for a flood of players because of the stupidity of ravobodchikov.
Finally; I dont even play USA, but I have both the LOSAT and AGS, so this vehicle will be a perfect addition to my "Cool looking US Weapon systems" lineup.

@@rechtsguy4005 Pantsir detects it easily, just can't maintain a lock unless using IRST.
@@improperamogerPretty sure you can maintain a lock, even cold war era Shilka can maintain a lock.
I heard S1 will detect it at 13km bro, we are dreaming I guess.
Playing this game is no longer interesting either you have a huge advantage playing for the ussr realizing that you are just beating nato ... or suffer playing against the ussr. I think after the developers gave the ussr and the u.s. bombs again. they are waiting for a flood of players because of the stupidity of ravobodchikov.
It's cool but they need to fix the RCS...
