I've had this one before, many months ago.  Just started a battle when ALL sound went dead (I'm used to losing ambient sounds, engine noise and other random oddities, but not everything).  The aircraft then appeared at the start point in black, with no other aircraft available on TAB or on the radar.  Every ground target across the map could be seen at the furthest range, but with peculiarities like blue buildings on red-owned bases and vice-versa.  Logged out, ran the .bat file, logged in with the clear-cache option - no change.  Had to leave the battle, doubtless to the relief of the poor folk saddled with me on their team.

As you say, long story, old bug. No workaround, unfortunately. Need to close the game (Alt-F4) and give the game some time to log you out; if you log immediately back in, the bug will persist, and you will not be transferred properly to hangar after the battle (endless black screen).

All true - tried logging-in 3 times, twice running the .bat file and using the clear-cache option on every occasion.  As you say, it took a delay and a log-out from the battle before it would let me into the game again.  Had some messages later from unhappy team-mates, too - sorry, folks

I had the same problem and solved it in a counter-logic way.

 

Run the game, go through hangar, look at several planes, go to depot, to the profile, then exit the game... and start without clearing cache. The software of the game is messed up, for some operations it needs that damn cache - gets stuck when it has to read some of the data all over again.

Interesting - and no more weird than many of the delights WoWP throws our way.  I'll give that a go if I encounter this bug again - thanks

This is the stealth fighter feature right? 

 

Black plane...silence. No radar because you are in stealth mode and so is everybody else...
