Should be pretty powerful when flown in a group by people who know what they are doing
That's a moot argument since pretty much any other ship flown in a group will do better against a battleship.

Really? With the projected bonuses, it seems to me that these things will be capable of doing a hell of a lot more dps to a battleship than any other frigate. And there are lots of benefits of flying frigates, especially ones with covops cloaks (the critical point here!).
Sure, the same amount of bigger ships will kill a battleship faster. But you can't always get those bigger ships into the right position at the right time.
To Battleships? Maybe not. But anything smaller assault frigs would fair better. Also, how often will people willingly get together in a stealth bomber group and go out in an attempt to find solo battleships?
Not only can a gang of ships even a class higher do a better job, but they aren't limited to such a niche role and can thus take on a myriad of targets at the same time, or when opportunities arise. Stealth be damned, they can already see you in local so they know you're there and thus will either gtfo or find someone to watch their back. God knows that if I were in a battleship and 5-10 WT jumped in I'd make sure not to be anywhere available to them!
The proposed changed create a very small niche for stealth bombers coupled with the fact that you then have to get a gang of them to really even worry a battleship pilot.

Learn properly the new game mechanics and discover that QR was a huge BOOST to missiles. Just get a ceptor put 10 people with 2 TP each on the ceptor and throw 1 rage torp on it.... rejoice.....[/quote
wow, only 20 target painters and a t2 torp! Come back when you've got a situation that has the possibility of occurring in this game.
That is to say, if you've already got 10 ships firing at an interceptor with two mods of their choice, that interceptor is going to die. Hell, just have everyonee carry light drones and there won't even be a need to lose slots from the ships!

I wouldn't be adverse to a heavy bomber frig as long as it's a new ship or melded into the current bomber without the loss of it's current bonuses and role against medium sized targets. I'm not looking to solo pwn small and mediuum ships, it's more that I don't want a ship I've trained for and really only prefer to fly in pvp is getting crammed into a role I've never seen an opportunity for!
More cloaked velocity and explosion velocity bonus is all I wanted to make the bomber perfect for me :(
