"Ive got about a dozen in my current game only just used them over the weekend operationally and have to say I am not impressed.
Advantages I can see;
Longer recon/strike capability than jet fighter.
Send it on a precision strike mission. (Precision strike my ass, you dont get a choice of targets even).
Use it to shoot down fighters over a target area (send it to strike/bomb and if intercepted it usually wins).
Disadvantages:
Cant be used for air supremacy.
Is much shorter range than a stealth bomber.
Is fairly useless in the strike role. "
What about precision strike ?
Is it really working? If it do then stealth fighters could be considered in case space victory toggled off or I have no uranium and require a war to get it.
In civilopedia it's said that precision strike destroys buildings, if it can destroy factories with a good chance then some stealth fighters can be built for that specific task, or to destroy all buildings before the bombers arrive to destroy the units.
I didn't actually try them as getting the spaceship up was more important to me, all patrs prebuilt the last part was constructed the same turn as the required tech was researched. But may be jokeslayer plays with space race off?
