Well,

 

It'd be interesting from a mechanical point of view. But the only thing an F-117 is pretty much good for is strikes behind enemy lines at HVT's.

 

It has a very very limited payload capacity. No A-A capability, no gun, and only 2 hardpoints for A-G ordnance iirc.

 

So, in terms of useability and fun in the game, I dunno.

Bit like a trainer jet then? :P

 

Seriously though, I was looking through a book on it. Interesting piece of kit, but very niche.

I was thinking about the same thing. I guess we'll never know until a newsletter or announcement hits us in the face :D

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

What is this has to do with RAZBAM? And F117 is already in game.

Nice plane, but I would vote against it.

You won't get even a handful of documents which are not classified so most of the FM, avionics and system modeling would be some kind of reading coffee grounds. Maybe an idea for Ubisoft but not for DCS...

Not exactly true. Flies like an A-7, used off-the-shelf parts from various aircraft in inventory to "hide" its development.

Seems that you have some flight experience with this one...

 

reliable printed sources for FM behaviour?

 

printed construction plans with labeling of "These parts from other ac"?

 

reliable printed sources for Nighthawk avionics?

 

Not found, sure, they simply not exist in unclassified versions.

 

1. classified documents are a nogo for the developers.

2. unclassified material (especially of this jet) is very rare. As with most DCS models, Youtube documentations and chit chat are not reliable sources.

Yes, they exist.

All avionics in the F-117a were borrowed from other AC.

Not True. The classified aspects of the F-117a encompass the radar absorbent material of the AC and the RCS reducing measures taken - though most are known to this day.

There you go making assumptions again....

YES!

 

It would be a novelty and I would buy it for that alone, an iconic plane I would want just to fly plus it's simple so it wouldn't hold up other projects that much.

I'll vote yes, though the reason is why some would vote "no".

 

The F-117 is known to be challenging in the terminal phases of flight (takeoff/landing), but is mostly controlled by autopilot while enroute, with pilot interaction with weapons systems over the target.

 

With as many CAS and fighter aircraft as we have in DCS, we don't have any deep strike birds. I think it would be fun to be a deep strike "systems guru" as well. Let the challenge be in avoiding/evading air defenses, executing the strike as planned, and flying "seat of the pants" if battle damaged (which would also compromise the RCS). You could design some incredible missions.

I'd vote yes for these reasons as well. No, it's not the most seat-of-the-pants aircraft, but it would be interesting to fly.

As cool as it may look, from what I have read, if everything goes according to plan, it is rather boring to fly.

There was a thread about this not long ago. It would be terrible. If it's modeled like the A-10C, you would take off, turn autopilot, press the pickle button and when home base is reach, land. No way to defend your self, completely dependent on no one seeing you. Terrible.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

I say yes it'd be cool. The A-10 can't defend itself anyway, it basically picks on ground formations that can't effectively fight back, so this would just be the stealth version of that. Slipping in at night, bombing targets would actually be rather fun for a not insignificant part of the community.

Targeting system similar to F-111F, AN/AVQ-26 Pave tack

Navigation and MCFD just like the A-10C

 

Engine panel just like F/A-18A, same engines also.

 

Definitely doable, but I hope to God it never happens.
