Does the thing even have a proven combat history?
Bet you it either doesn't or is extremely limited.

Air to Air? No, but it dominates any fighter we have or have used (acquired) from other military's in our exercises, which are as realistic as possible.

Nighthawk F117 is not the prettiest but it is one of the most iconic and badass looking planes ever produced. When I was a kid I used to call it “the batman plane”. Was sad to learn it got put out of action. It did a hell of a job in the Balkans campaign.

... And zero airborne threats that we needed this thing for. Drones are the future, not 70's style manned jets. America is a tradie who lives in a run down trailer but has a shiny $75k bro dozer parked out front on a 96 month loan.
The entire purpose of the program was to transfer taxpayer $$$ to politicians and a few rich guys at Lockheed.

You're no different from game developers like Wargaming (makers of World of Tanks) who make OP vehicles in game that either never existed or were never used in combat in real life and giving them big advantages over actual vehicles that were mass produced and combat proven.

Russian S-400 missile system. Imagine what the S-500 would look like and how easily it would disable America's advantage in the skies.
Would knock that American junk machinery out of the skies.

the first SR-71 crew was out flying and a Cessna asked for a speed check from ATC, then a twin prop plane asked a speed check. Then a Navy pilot in an F-18 asked for a speed check being a smart ass to the slower prop planes. He was going 600 knots.
Then the SR-71 guys who were flying so high and fast no one knew they were there came on the fequency and asked for a speed check to flame the F-18 guy. They were going 1,800 knots.
