[@benfoster5426]

Interesting mission set-up. I know. You're going after the entertainment factor. The B-2 has a Radar Cross Section (RCS) of about 1.1 sq ft. The B-21's RCS is reported to be the size of a BB. Try this mission again at night, which would be the actual condition of a B-2 and B-21 strike mission. In addition to that, the mission profile would be a stand-off weapons delivery, not a direct, overhead, bomb drop. This could be limited by the simulator. but, I understand why you would want a day-time mission set-up. I enjoy your channel and am a subscriber. Good work and a good imagination.

[@sulyokpeter3941]

Yeah. The B-21 main weapon will be(I think) cruise missiles, STEALTH cruise missiles, not conventional bombs for sure.

[@vicroc4]

Funny thing about stealth: its effectiveness is highly dependent on the frequency of the radar that's illuminating it. The RCS may be tiny at 3 GHz but it's not necessarily going to be at 3 MHz. Of course, lower frequency means longer wavelength means less resolution, so it's useless as anything other than an early warning, but they'll definitely know something's there. Also, distance is a factor. At some point your plane is going to be getting hit by enough energy that it doesn't matter how small your cross section is. Hence why GS talks about "burn-through" on the stealth. The goal is to get your missile into that range, and then it can do the rest.

Hey GS. You might want to tell those B2 Spirit pilots to drop bombs either on the runway or on the buildings. I think all they hit were trees, a little bit of pavement and where they were putting together the S300's. No critical damage happened to the runway. lol I think a second strike is needed to permanently erase that airfield off the map. ;) I'm also surprised the S300's weren't scanning for targets. Were they plugged in? You should have been pinged at least once as you crossed their scans searching for targets. Your attack vector should have been provided by the SU-33's and SU-57 that there were "potential threats" in a particular direction.

Tactics question (from someone who knows nothing about tactics) - would it make sense to lead the bombers further out to intercept enemy fighters prior to them launching (rather than hanging with them until contact is found on radar then vectoring into them)? If you know the route of the bombers then you can project forward and screen them that way? Not criticizing what you did, just curious.

[@nitonono4143]

then where's the added drama if he does that, if he eliminates all the threats immediately before they could get near the B2 it would be a walk on the park and be no fun for GS, you know him he likes the challenge even it's not necessary.

[@halnineooo136]

Russia cannot know what's inside the cargo bay of the B2, they will assume the worst case which is nukes. They then would nuke the B2 out of the sky and retaliate with a tactical nuke in European NATO.
