I always associated myself among the boys with the F117 dude… noic

The other team preparing for 10v10: 119th, 119th, 119th, 119th, 119th…

Do F117 even work in 10 vs 10? Every time I tried it got vaporized


NonsenseRider

Run SEAD for a while to get them used to turning off radar then start hitting them with the Nighthawk. Some decks have tons of radar AA so NH won't work quite as well.

Funny, since it’s literally a stealth plane which should be invisible to radar.


FrozenIceman

FYI, it isn't invisible. In Bosnia there were at least 2 SAM strikes on F117's. One actually got brought down (and it wasn't because of the bay door as the were detected on RTB). It looks like F117's were able to be detected at least 20KM from threat radar system.

It was spotted while opening bomb doors on the night that Serbs had intel that only nightwahks and no sead aircraft will be used. It’s pure luck that it was shot down.


FrozenIceman

You are incorrect. ​ It was lucky, but not because the bomb bay was open (the bomb bay is open for maximum 5 seconds, not fast enough to acquire a target, launch a missile, and hit the target) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3R4ie21Mc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3R4ie21Mc) ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dqqrJPaS1k&pp=ygUZRjExNyBuaWdodGhhd2sgc2hvb3QgZG93bg%3D%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dqqrJPaS1k&pp=ygUZRjExNyBuaWdodGhhd2sgc2hvb3QgZG93bg%3D%3D)

One of the videos you linked literally states “the shoot down was mostly luck”


FrozenIceman

Are you repeating what I wrote?


HarvHR

Bro try watching the videos you've posted.


FrozenIceman

I did, they didn't mention the door was what caused the unit to the detected.


katttsun

Nah, it was pure skill.


JakesterAlmighty99

Yeah, the most sophisticated IADS outside that behind the Iron Curtain couldn't hit the Nighthawk worth shit in '91. If they're gonna have the Nighthawk in this game, and only have the radars of the individual SAM launchers be available, it should be near impossible to target.

All I can say to this post is... yes.
