Who needs stealth when you have the turn radius of a nickel.
Just in case the plane is not recognized immediatly, it's the PW-MK.I from Project Wingman, cool video game, I recommend it for the planes, the music and the memes.
But you know, stealth isn’t the be-all, end-all, really. The Navy’s been dragging their feet on 35 procurement for a while, more heavily emphasizing Rhinos and Growlers. Growlers have an absolutely silly amount of extremely advanced ECM and EW hardware onboard. The general doctrine for USN in peer conflicts right now is to just jam the absolute shit out out anything that’s making unfriendly electronic noises around it and then kill the things with prejudice. Don’t need stealth when you just straight up blind the enemy. Definitely more of a brute force approach, but it’s absolutely valid.
Problem is that makes the growler a huge target. It can't really hide when it's emitting so much. It can be somewhat further back, but it'll still need to be pretty close to the action to be effective jamming.
Never played H.A.W.X., so I can't offer a comparison. As far as elaborate control setups, I played it on Xbox, and a regular controller was plenty sufficient
