How to counter F117 NightHawk?

[LiquidSB - Tassigny]

This plane can kill anything from nowhere.
What should I do?
His range make it very difficult to kill.
And often I don't see it, I just see a missile falling from sky.

Air superiority fighters and radars behind regular AA gun lines. The whole point of the F117 is that you can't see it, hence why only one is history of ever has been shot down.

Yeah you need Radar AA for the air optics, a semi-hidden stat. If your deck does not have it, tough ♥♥♥♥, you will probably lose. LGB's are broken generally, some more than the night hawk, but Eugene does not seem to agree with me, so on they go terrorising the 1v1 ladder

2K22 TUGUNSKA is what I need?
The problem is my enemy's planers love to use SEAD
I think I have to play with Jet Hunters but in my opinions they don't do the job well because enemy AA.

that's a problem who can cost a lot. Because loosing a tank cost a lot on russian side , and all these AA cost a lot too.

TUGUNSKA can close his radar by simply turning off his AA machine gun without losing his air optics.
West Berlin brigade has only one sead plane and not very hard to take out.
OSA, KUB and BUK also has the same air optics as TUNGUNSKA.
Moreover, SEAD plane also have great air optics, like Su24SEAD or Tornado SEAD, and can spot F117 from afar.

Air superiority fighters is actually not effective against F117, even for Su27 and F15,they have only about 300 air optics while SU24sead have 600. But fighters can shot it down instantly if they spotted F117.

Air optics still work with the radar off.

Also SEAD - for no good reason whatsoever - has the highers air optics in the game.

Su-27 and F-15 have 450 to SEAD's 600, so still good.

get MIG31 if you can
thing's got crazy optics.

I remember someone else made a post that the NIghthawk was too easy to shoot down with it being a stealth bomber, now we got someone complaining it's too hard to shoot down.

I swear, this is the most inconstancy community when it comes to feedback I have ever seen in my life. Only game I have played where so many units are both OP, but also needs buffed at the same time. Lmao

To be precise, he didnt say it was too hard, he just asked how to deal with it

If you have the wrong deck (VDV) shooting it down is extremely hard, but if you have BUKs around, it's terribly weak and easy to shoot down

The real boring plane is F15E STRIKE EAGLE but thanks for all your advices..

[LiquidSB - Tassigny]

i'm gonna play 6 YA motostrelki.
let's see mig31 :)

Nighthawk too strong. Needs nerf! Why do I need radar AA to spot this unit that instantly deletes my t-80UD! ERA armor should reduce the damage of nighthawk bombs..

Well it has 0 ECM to compensate it's undetectable trait.It's good to always have one or two SU27 or SU24SEAD to protect you UD not only from F117 but any other planes -- tank alone can't even see most of AT plane coming before they destroy your UD.
