technically it is a fighter hence *F* 117 even though its used like a bomber. this was for several reasons such as keeping the project hidden from other countries and because its classified as a fighter it wouldn't be counted as a bomber since the treaty between US and Russia during the cold war forbade the US from having a certain amount of bombers. the only way to legally classify an aircraft as a fighter is for it to get an air to air kill. the US was somehow able to bomb a helicopter with a F-117 as it had just got off the ground.
use it as CAS at the start. Sure most folks with the cashola won't be doing that and will just burn it straight into air RB but with the smart bombs, it is meant to CAS for Ground RB. Then you get the mods to go and do some damage in Air RB. The ability to just sit at altitude, laser a tank and just guide 500lbs right into the cupola, all while being invisible to radar is incredible
Bro this new update busted af I constantly stutter like mad crazy until I hit windows key go to desktop then select warthunder tab like wtf is going on anyway great vid trep ily
It's Military Motivation by Haxhigeaszy It's definitely not from your childhood tho cause it's from 2024 Might just sound similar to something you remember
Hey trep congrats on the new set up definitely deserve it and love the mic plz don’t change and true “image clicking on the video without liking and subscribing couldn’t be me love you
The f117 is in such a weird place. It’s too high for its payload to actually do anything and too low for the stealth to actually affect the game due to everything having weak radar anyway at its br
For good results (usually) I fly my F-117 at 17,000ft, 18,000ft is when con trails start. Lock a target that ISN'T ALREADY SURRONDED BY FRIENDLYS, Keep bomb bay CLOSED until seconds before your drop. OPEN, DROP, CLOSE, GTFO!
There was technically a way to mount an aim 9 on the f117 in real life. Never technically used but it was possible. I feel like giving it once missle and a bomb would have made it somewhat... Playable...?
Nah, but genuine question, why is the F117s armament so bad? Like you irl, it's fuckng crazy mate and here does barely anything😂 I am so happy though that it's here and that when you test aircrafts you can get shot down now that honestly fun
Irl it was nothing crazy, sure it had stealth but it's first generation stealth, also f117 had to be escorted by actual air superiority jets in order to survive in strike missions over iraq
@@aviation_enjoyer381it was crazy effective to deliver payloads in deep and heavily AA guarded areas. There only ever was one shot down, and only because they knew it was coming. It could not carry much because they had to be carried internally, and the plane had to remain small. But they were used to strike critical targets deep into enemy territory and/or areas too dangerous for other normal bombers or fighter-bombers.
I wouldnt even CONSIDER spending 8k gold on that thing. Its only got the one gimmick, and that gimmick doesnt even work that well. I still dont even understand how Skunk didnt even put a single gun in it. Wouldnt have been hard and wouldnt have ruined its stealth "design".
Only having two 500lb bombs to start the grind with is criminal.
And no air spawn for what is a bomber

@@Immortal_BP it’s still used as a bomber. It still needs an air spawn because it’s “strike fighter” when it’s really just a bomber.
@@Immortal_BP This arguably one of the most hilarious and most American thing I've ever heard. I love how petty this is

everyone except for the f104: WERE COOKING
the f104: AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE??
Probably best to do this in ground matches but I appreciate your masochism
Even there it's bad
3:33 "Missile Evasion" is crazy
it was his own bomb XD
@@material-sticker yeah ik
what does it mean when i get ''missile evasion''?
@@Toaster6008I think it’s when you flare a missile or when you evade one
When the F-117 came out, it became another one of those golden rules where you do not shoot the F-117. It is like the nuke plane
NO we dont care about f117
As an F-117 user its always hilarious to die because there's no RWR or anything so I can't even tell a missile is locked onto me and EVA
3:25 me262 with f117 is crazy😭
а моус с бэхой не крэйзи?
I love watching people trying to fly the F117 like a fighter only to spin
No views? Let me change that
No
Nay, let us change that.
TOGETHER FOR GLORY!
Try new f-15, it can carry 2000 lbs x8 bombs (insane)
It is way beter than nighthawk
@@Notch.youtubeyeah cuz the nighthawk is at 8.7 and stealth
@@orionsalt8288 the stealth is barely worth anything and its 10.0 in ground battles
still a cool gimmick CAS for ground
@@GrinXpediathe stealth works if you fly 8,000+ meters high
9:26 he didn’t broke his wings he made improvised Flares
F117 could be fun in top tier when the stealth works
Devs dont know how stealth wirks, much like the actual russian military.
1:57 ABSOLUTELY WILD that I know someone who sold feet pics to afford this plane.
Easy side hustle
thts crazy
HMU when the B2 comes out bro. 👣
So your pc with raytracing now sounds like the jets in game? How realistic!
its just more immersion
I see an update on warthunder
i immediately go on youtube to see if trep made a vid
Same, the best things in wt updates is the new trep videos about it
I would eat the F117
Relatable
Bro this new update busted af I constantly stutter like mad crazy until I hit windows key go to desktop then select warthunder tab like wtf is going on anyway great vid trep ily
2:39 bro turned into mickey mouse and died
Please, what's that song playing at the background? At 6:15?? Keep hearing it in my head since my childhood😭
It's Military Motivation by Haxhigeaszy
It's definitely not from your childhood tho cause it's from 2024
Might just sound similar to something you remember
I recall playing a game with you and we did a 4 f117 formation lol iconic american flag on the bottom. Attack the D point!
4:05 are those guns or measuring tools
Measuring tools
Pitot tubes to measure airspeed and such
measures airspeed and data minutely
do Su-34 next pls
2:45 bro learned the hard way why it's called the wobblin' goblin
Hey trep congrats on the new set up definitely deserve it and love the mic plz don’t change and true “image clicking on the video without liking and subscribing couldn’t be me love you
Never thought trep was going to like my comment love you
Your glaze is more top tier then a f15 in warthunder
At least you already have the f-117And I'm researching the Su-34 but I still have a long way to go.
"Sorry we didnt know it was invisible"
Ah yes. 1944 German WunderWaffe vs 1991 American Skunk Works
Never a dull day when he uploads
Love the trepcas vids
Finally, an F-117 video
Hi Trep love the videos but can you play thr A4E ealy pls❤
2:42 yeah she pretty touchy. Don't get below 250 mph is a safe ish area
A kill with every helicopter atgm but everytime you get a kill, the next atgm has to be slower *laughs maniacally*
W video man keep up the good work
dude new mic sounds sick
Definitely need more Sleath aircraft a being massive reward for Sleath would be so good
I got no clue, would it be better to stock grind in sim, so you have ground targets to go for and less fighters?
Whats the most painfull thing you have done? I have bought a modification for 700 GE 💀💀💀💀
Cool video!
0:20 go ultra because if my laptop can handle it no problem than so can your pc!
THAT WAS REALLY QUICK AFTER THE UPDATE RELEASE!!!
He bought it dude
Not like he buys it in the first minute of the video, of course he did
I was so close to finally spending money on this game for the F-117 but I was able to resist it
The f117 is in such a weird place. It’s too high for its payload to actually do anything and too low for the stealth to actually affect the game due to everything having weak radar anyway at its br
Trep how do you transfer everything to pc?What are you lc specs
It’s actually an amazing airplane in ground sim I haven’t been shot yet by AA as long as you play it right
Yoooo this is crazy
wish ur pc good luck
>only 2 bombs
>no main armaments or any way to defend self
>"strike aircraft"
I wish it was a bomber, that way at least you'd get an air spawn
🗣🔥
Since it's a squadron vehicle, maybe stock grinding a4e wouldn't be bad, please trep.
Trep your voice sounds different, did you get a new mic or are you sick?
Simulator is the best for that plane
Hopefully they add more stealth bombers (Like the B-2 Spirit or B-1 Lancer)
B1 isnt stealth and both the B1 and B2 will be useless
What anti aliasing settings do you use?
try doing a cobra with full realistic at top speed it totally doesn't rip the plane apart
For good results (usually) I fly my F-117 at 17,000ft, 18,000ft is when con trails start. Lock a target that ISN'T ALREADY SURRONDED BY FRIENDLYS, Keep bomb bay CLOSED until seconds before your drop. OPEN, DROP, CLOSE, GTFO!
Broski's 4080 will NOT be struggling with Ultra RTX in a DCS-with-biases 😭😭
What is a regiment and how does that unlock stuff?
Thx now I know what br to go to do some ez kills
Hello trepkas
Mic sounds infinitely better!
Swift f7 with its rockets says hi
The only radar missile that doesnt care about stealth
Damn, missing the easy massacre at 8.7…. Work schedule is a bitch 😂
Trep, WE NEEED MERCH NOWWWWWWW
Sounds like the delta fans I have in mine
We need to special gamemode for grnid this thing
WTF IS A KILOMETER type cinematics👾👾
That’s like a roof with bombs
There was technically a way to mount an aim 9 on the f117 in real life. Never technically used but it was possible. I feel like giving it once missle and a bomb would have made it somewhat... Playable...?
Wdym part two?? I need partFull (((
Why does the engine upgrade cost an arm and a leg?
So playing 9.7 Russia has been fun
The F-117 nighthawk is horrible in air battles, but is great at ground battles
Aye why that pc sound like Me 262
8:04 So the plane can destroy bases on its own when you have the last bomb?
It might be garbadge, but who cares when it looks like that 😂

Let me give you a tip for your sanity, stay at 6k alt. 🌞
stock grind would probably be easier in ground rb
2k likes everyone
We did it
You need to be high in the air thats what this thing was made for
0:45 fr fr fr
What are your pc specs
It's supposed to be played in Ground RB... I would buy it, if it was worth of it
GUYS WHEN FLYING F117 ALWAYS FEED THE
SNAIL BEFORE
Its stealth because you cant see its guns, radar, rwr, or missiles!
when are you doing the su-34?
Bros PC started to die but anyway now the graphic settings has a view of what it looks like if you change the settings, which is really nice
Bro please do su34❤
American flag at the bottom is a lil the ooposite of stealth
It's not ahistorical
1 min Is crazy
Grind su 34 plz
Always forgetting to give a like (thxnfor reminder)
Don't do it like him
Just go in grb)
It will still be painful but much less)
1:21 if i didnt want to see what was about to happen i would of stopped watching all together
isn't this thing, like untouchable, unobservable, undefeatable (Except in Serbia). Gaijin really fumbled
WT enable RT and then release a low poly plane
Hey trep
nice pc
Hello
