Tip of the day (8/30): Stealth

Guide

Today's a big one, I will try explain how stealth work and how to counter them.
First, Stealth is basically the unit cannot be spotted on the map, unless you have a revealed stealth unit in sight range; radar will not work on it, or they are in combat. You cannot spot it with anything else.

Here is the list of every unit that have stealth and units that can reveal stealth. Note that if you are from the future(hello), this list is probably outdated. Also if some units gain stealth from level up, I might be wrong due to doctrine buff, but I don't believe doctrine changes anything for gaining stealth.

Stealth:

  • Special Force(level 1)
  • Special Force Vet/Airborne Vet(level 1)
  • Stealth ASF(level 1)
  • Stealth Strike Fighter(level 1)
  • UAV(level 6)
  • Fixed Wing Vet(level 7)
  • Stealth Bomber(level 1)
  • Navy Vet(level 4)
  • All submarine unit have stealth at level 1
  • You really think a big missile has stealth?
  • John 'Chupacabra' Reyes(level 7)
  • Tom 'Skull' Hanniker(level 7)
  • Edward 'Reaper' Harris(level 6)
  • Elite Attack Helicopter(level 3)
  • Elite Special Force(level 1)
  • Elite Satelite(level 1)
  • Sea Mine(Deploy by Destroyer and Corvette)(level 1) I know this is technically a submarine unit but I feel like almost nobody talk about it

Reveal Stealth is the main way to counter stealth units. If you have a reveal stealth unit in sight range, it will render the stealth unit useless. Do note that sight range is the "fog of war" same as scout, so no radar is not sight range. I do believe all stealth unit also have reveal steath, but if there are exceptions, I will list them here.

Reveal Ground Stealth:

  • Special Force(level 1)
  • Special Force Vet/Airborne Vet(level 5) This seem to be the only exception, weird how the veteran don't start with reveal stealth
  • Combat Recon Vehicle(level 2)
  • Amphibous Combat Vehicle(level 5)
  • Mobile Radar(level 5)
  • Radar Station(Mobile Radar)(level 6)
  • Helicopter Gunship(level 6)
  • UAV(level 1)
  • John 'Chupacabra' Reyes(level 4)
  • Elite UGV(level 2)
  • Elite Loitering Munition(level 1)
  • Elite Special Force(level 1)
  • Recon Drone(Elite Drone Operater)(level 3)
  • Naval Recon Drone(Elite Drone Mothership)(level 3)

Reveal Air Stealth:

  • Air Defense Platform(Mobile Anti-Air)(level 6)
  • Mobile SAM Launcher(level 6)
  • Theater Defense System(level 5)
  • Mobile Radar(level 5)
  • Radar Station(Mobile Radar)(level 6)
  • Stealth ASF(level 1)
  • AWACS(level 6)
  • Frigate(level 6)
  • Hana 'Skyguard' Fujimoto(level 7)
  • Elite Frigate(level 3)
  • Elite Special Force(level 3)

Reveal Submarine: I feel like Sonar is basically also Reveal Stealth Submarine, but since most units have both Sonar and Reveal Stealth, I will not include it, unless that unit only has Sonar

  • ASW Helicopter(level 1)
  • Naval Patrol Aircraft(level 1)
  • Corvette(level 1 only Sonar, level 4 Reveal Submarine Stealth)
  • Destroyer(level 1)
  • Navy Vet(Sonar at level 1, no Reveal Submarine Stealth)
  • All Submarine has both Sonar and Reveal Submarine Stealth at level 1(except Ballistic Missile Submarine only get Sonar at level 1 and Elite ATP Submarine don't have Sonar)
  • Rafael 'Jaguar' Teixeira(Sonar at level 4)
  • Elite Frigate(Sonar at level 1, Reveal Submarine Stealth at level 2)

If I miss any units for you have anything to add feel free to add in the comment!
