None but it will reduce detection ranges to where visual engagments will occur.
The question is whether or not these costly A/C will be committed during the
day. If the bad guys choose to fight during daylight, then the F-22s and F-35s
will also.

The Air Force is currently testing a grey F-117 for daylight use so it
looks like the old thinking of stealth only at night is going by the
wayside.
