In short stealth is nice but lots of other factors come into play, eg
Aircraft A is 100% invisible, but aircraft B has a 100% effective
defensive decoy system.

Who wins??

The stealth plane, because he's got a cannon and you can't
decoy ballastic rounds. ;-)

Don't decoy the round, screw with the sight: that cannon is aimed by a
predictor system that needs target range and velocity data. Not hard at
all to have the gunsight generate the wrong pointing data. (And the
chance of a hit without a working sight is pretty minimal: not something
to bet an airframe and a mission on)

This also presupposes that you're able to get into parameters for a guns
shot... far from a given.
