F-111 was made to intrude adverse airspace in low level flight for not to bee seen by radar. Just like the Tornado. By the way: F-111 isn't in service anymore.
F-117's range isn't very impressiv only about 1500km. Also airforce-technology.com classifies it clear as a ground attack aircraft. B-1, B-2, B-52 are long range high altitude Bombers. Otherwise it hadn't been downed by a SA-3 during Kosovo war.

Even though F-15E's air to ground capabilities are much better than Jaguar's, MiG-27's or Mirage's.
