Fighters have to be agile. Flying wings arent agile

they don't turn so good.

ofc, if you never need to bank at more than a 60 degree angle, flying wings beat all.

Pretty much this. While the wing design is very efficient at being low drag, it completely sucks when it comes to maneuverability

The F117, despite the 'F' designation, was an attack aircraft/light bomber.

It bothers me that these weren't depicted as flying wings.
