This. Had myrm get hit by 3 bombs the other day. Took a little armor damage, so what?
SB's are not good for killing stuff alone. 2 SB is not enough. If they want to kill you they have to stick around. They also have to point you. If they point you, you can point them, then they die. It is very unlikely they would have a faction point fitted. Even so you can force them to warp before your ship goes down and you are safe in any case.
I am not seeing much of a problem here. A myrm or domi would eat them in no time or they would not decloak. Your problem is solved ether way.
I, and everyone I know, loves Stealth Bombers. They are a great way to rack up easy kills to pad the killboard, as in SB's are easy to kill.

Which is why you kill one every three months or so, right? http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=117904&scl_id=16
You'll notice a pattern in this thread -- noobs in low sec think sbs are easy to kill. This reflects the poor quality of competition you see in low sec/fw, where SB is a common ship for noobs because they can cloak and hide. People who live in 0.0 realize that a SB is practically invincible and with enough of them dropping bombs in proper waves can sometimes wipe out a lot of stuff. We've all seen the lolmails where Sbs wipe out 50 RR bs and such.
Sbs are near zero risk, low reward ships. But to most eve pvpers, its better to have 5 Sbs sitting outside of a drag bubble killing one vexor an hour for no risk than using a fleet that might kill more and die more.

I agree.
Now, why are you crying again?

Seriously, you want to go there?
- I have 3 PvP capable accounts. Sure one only PvP's in high sec in a Hulk but even she has a SB kill.
- Was sick all of August and did not log into Eve. Kinda tough to PvP when your not playing.
- You posted a KB link, do I post there? Well, yes as of a week ago. Still, I have not bothered to update it with all of my KM's, too much of a PTIA.
- Can't kill what people don't fly. I don't see SB's that often, because they are not that great of a ship. very small niche.
- My comment about being hit with 3 bombs is correct. My myrm (myrms suck!)was a heavy tackle support fit not something that locks fast enough to catch a SB and the fast tackle were too new to be able to know what to do. /me shrugs
SB's are not a good ship unless they are in a well organized gang that can provide E-war and the ability to drop multiple bombs at the same time. Personally I have yet to see anyone do that.
The OP was asking about 2 SB's, not a gang. What I said holds true in that situation.

SB fits on that kb link are extremely fail. Couldn't find a single one that's fit properly. It's safe to assume the pilots don't know how to fly a sb either, in addition to not being able to fit one. Obviously, anything can kill a noob, flying sb or otherwise.

Any fast frigate hull should do, they have paper thin tanks and shoot Torps and bombs, stay out of range of the bombs and keep moving fairly fast and the torps won't hurt much. Of course they would be fools to uncloak with a fast frigate around. The ideal ship all the same is probably an interceptor.

any kind of sniper hac that can lock and hit at a decent range is fairly good.
eagle is good, can instapop a bomber at about 200km same with sniper zealot.
you wont even need to get a point on them, your first volley will often be enough to splat them if your at your optimal range and they dont have much transversal on you.
but its a nub bomber pilot that uncloaks on grid with an eagle or zealot kicking around.
for 0.0 stick a battleship with smartbombs at the edge of a drag bubble and laigh as your bomber pilot lands and wakes up in station.

IF SB pilot is not complete nob, and his SB is fit properly... you wont even lock it until you get *really* close, by which time he already warped off. BUT that being said, there are so many nobs flying and failfitting their SBs, even judging by this thread, so just use anything fast to burn to them and point+pop, chances are good

Originally by: Schalac If you kill a SB it's because they ****ed up or are not very smart pilots. SB and Cov-Ops are pretty much invincible. They literally need to warp into your SB(Smart Bomb) camp to be killed. That doesn't really happen all that much with people that fly those ships.
If you kill an SB, it means they screwed up by picking their target poorly, but that's not the same thing as being invincible, small ships especially can jump them fast and knock 'em dead in a few volleys.
For instance, go into the camp with a heavily tanked BS with resist stacked against the bomb/torp bonus damage type. Wait for the dude to decloak, kite to other side of gate, have a pal in a rifter come through the gate, and *pop* dead stealth bomber.
And if they actually try to jump you when you're in a frigate, free kill for you. SBs have basically no defenses against a frig-sized ship and can do very little damage to one.
