Stealth Strike Fighter

The stealth evolution of the tactical Strike Fighter branch. These aircraft are built for deep air-to-ground penetration while remaining invisible to most radar when outside combat. In the supplied unit cards, Eastern, Western and European doctrine all show the same Level 1 combat profile. The strategic value therefore comes from stealth access, deep-strike reach and the research path — not from a doctrine-specific raw-stat advantage.

Combat Winner
No verified doctrine winner. All three supplied cards show the same visible attack values, HP, attack range, speed, costs and upkeep.
What You Actually Buy
Stealth access. The unit is invisible to most radar while not in combat and is designed to penetrate hostile airspace for tactical ground strikes.
Research Decision
The supplied research tree places the Stealth Strike Fighter at Day 16. It sits on the Strike Fighter branch, so the regular Strike Fighter path matters before this unit becomes available.

Attack Range, Radar Range & Speed

Attack Range: 800 on all three supplied cards.
Speed: 12 on all three supplied cards.
Radar Range: the supplied Stealth Strike Fighter cards show the Radar Range row, but no numeric value is visible. It is therefore intentionally marked Not shown rather than copied from another aircraft class or guessed.

Stealth Mechanics // Why This Unit Exists

Deep Strike Without Normal Radar Exposure

The in-game description explicitly identifies this as a stealth combat aircraft focused on air-to-ground attacks. It is invisible to most units with radar when not in combat, making it fundamentally different from the regular Strike Fighter even when the target-damage role overlaps.

The supplied property icons also show stealth-related functionality and missile capability. Because no popup was opened for those icons in these three screenshots, this page does not assign an unverified detection radius, missile capacity or reload time.

Research Dependency // Strike Fighter Branch

Day 16 — But Not a Standalone Shortcut

The previously supplied research-tree screenshots place the Stealth Strike Fighter at Day 16. The line branches from the regular Strike Fighter research path. That means Day 16 is the technology-tree availability point, not automatic ownership.

Correct progression:
Strike Fighter research milestone → Stealth Strike Fighter research becomes available → Stealth Strike Fighter research completed → Stealth Strike Fighter produced separately.

Echelon Note // Calculator Preparation

Position Is a Separate Combat Variable

For the calculator, unit positioning will later be stored separately as Front Echelon, Middle Echelon or Rear Echelon. No echelon position is assigned to the Stealth Strike Fighter on this page yet; that will be added only when the full stack-position dataset is provided.

// Final Player Verdict //
● STEALTH IS THE ADVANTAGE
Raw Stats
Eastern, Western and European are effectively tied in the supplied Level 1 card data. Choosing a doctrine here does not buy a verified damage, HP, range or speed advantage.
Operational Value
The value is the combination of 800 attack range, strong ground-attack values and stealth outside combat. This is a penetration platform, not merely another Strike Fighter skin.
Best Use
Use it when reaching valuable ground targets through contested airspace matters more than raw cost efficiency. The doctrine choice should be driven by the rest of your force and research timing rather than these tied Level 1 stats.
