Edited by: ApollonicShadow on 27/10/2009 09:34:36 I will be jumping into my first stealth bomber later on today. I was wondering whether I could buy some shuttles, eject from them and use them as bomb practice in hi-sec, say in a safespot, so well away from innocent bystanders.
Is this possible? will i get CONCORD on my back?

OK cool, thanks for the reply.
Does anyone know where I could find a good guide regarding the tactics involved in using SB.

i'll give you some simple tips. i'll leave it to yourself to work out nice ranges and proper speeds, i don't like doing everything for people.
bombing a fleet:
Best place to bomb a fleet is when they are landing on the 'outgate' of a system. when the first ship lands, or appears on grid, launch bomb, by the time it explodes, most of the gang will be there on gate, and have no chance to warp or jump.
when a gang jumps into system, you can bomb them while they are cloaked. ewhile the gang is jumping in, launch the bomb, you MUST get the range just right, to do maximum damage as ships appear in system 12km from the gate, and your radius is only 15km.
wait until the gang has aggro and are on 0km to the gang, and in a bubble ( hic or dictor ) launch bomb.
RR BS fleets are easy targets, they have to stay close.
Using Stealth Bombers is all about teamwork. there is very little you will kill with only 1 bomb. Practice makes perfect, Use voice comms ( your fail if you don't anyway :P ), use the same damage type for bombs.
always make sure to warp out when launching bombs, if your ship goes pop, your bomb doesn't. Also, don't be too close to your own bombs.

Cool, cheers for the tips.
I was looking to try solo and small SB gangs say 8-10 pilots in low and null.
Also how the frack do I launch a bomb as i cannot launch it directly at someone when they are locked.

Stop thinking that you are trying to "hit" someone with your bomb. You aren't. You are trying to get your bomb to explode within range of the person. Don't worry about targeting someone it does nothing for you and just makes yourself a target. Get your ship level with the person you want to go pop at around 40KM away. Approach while cloaked, uncloak at 31k and then start spam hitting launch, turn then recloak. Quando ami flunkus morti. |

That's the worst tactic imagineable. Or maybe not exactly that, but pretty bad tactics.
The easy, simple and pretty safe way is approach someone while cloaked, in line with a warpable object, decloak at 30 and warp to your aligned object. Much safer.

Are Void or Lockbreaker bombs worth using?

The best way to use a bomber:
1) Wait until your fleet is holding on a gate, preferably all within jump range so they're in a nice neat ball.
2) Approach from over 30km away.
3) Decloak.
4) Launch bomb.
5) Bring in hauler alt to scoop the loot.
For better-tanked targets, you may need to bring a couple friends in bombers to ensure a 100% kill rate. -----------

What exactly do you plan on killing with one bomb, aside from MWDing frigates?

Fixed that for you.

Guess what that fleet does when it is on a gate in jumprange and not aggressed and sees bombs on its overview.

Wrong. Velocity is not a factor in bomb damage.
