Is stealth worth it for PVP/PVE?

[jerryfanfan]

The stats doesn't make it very apparent, and it's hard to tell from my end, but how good is stealth? What does stealth do? Do the two stealth modules stack if I put both on my plane? Do stealth modules work on a non-stealth plane?

Does stealth just make you not appear on mini map? or does it reduce lock-on range or something? Earlier today I had no trouble locking onto F-22 Su-57 etc in PVP.

A plane with the stealth part can disappear from radar and lose the lock-on if the enemy plane is facing away at enough of an angle.

In furballs, it means whoever is targeting the plane, then targets another plane, or has to cycle through to get his mark back, if he's capable to, which is a huge distraction.

If a player is using EML or those long range missiles, it's also a logical setup.

You can't stack parts of the same kind. There's only one kind which gives your plane stealth, and another that allows you to counter enemies' stealth. They do different things.

There are better parts overall to use instead of something really situational. The best result you can get is someone losing you for a second and then spill some spaghetti around, not gonna carry you through your matches.

Also do stealth parts work on non-stealth planes? Like if I put stealth on F-16 would that work? And what's the improvement of Stealth mk2 over Stealth mk1?

[Running4Revenge]

It does, but I doubt it'd make much of a difference.

[Mattoropael]

Stealth is very good for non-dogfighters in free-for-all, but is far from a must.

Avoid it in TDM or if your plane excels at close-range knife fights. It won't do you much good.

No. Use Bulletproof Tanks.
