I've tested the stealth bombers on SiSi and the changes CCP Hammer mentioned make them quite useful. Its not as easy as it sounds to use them but I guess thats the balance with them.. if u do it right you will come out without a scratch, if u mess it up ur dead (a good example of risk vs reward I'd say).
On the other hand though the amarr, gallente and minmatar ones still have the redundant turret bonus', you wont even have enough PG to fit turrets, not to mention you will never get a chance to use them. This still makes the caldari one the most dmging SB out there, and since the bombers are all about volley dmg this is quite unbalanced. I would be even happy if the minmatar one got a speed bonus, the gallente one a small reduction to signature radius and the amarr one a dmg bonus to EM missiles (we all know its the crappies dmg) per lvl, instead of these turret bonus'. That would make each bomber quite unique and still leave the caldari one with the most launchers.
- What does the community and devs think about this suggestion?

allow stealths to aquire a passive lock while cloaked, and then only have to decloak to fire and then let them recloak instantly. i mean an F117 is only risking high radar visibility when the bomb doors open. soon as the close poof its gone.
sadly this idea would rock in fleet operations where cloak and dagger is part of the covert ops skill, but would end up as a Gank-o-matic in true gameplay.
The stealth bomber concept is working fine as it is on SiSi atm. The only thing thats left is the imbalance between the different races' bombers, mainly the problem is the caldari one being more powerful than the others or better said the non-caldari ones having useless bonus'.

Also - Does being targetted still prevent cloaking?
Yes, and the real defence against these are either fast locking ships or FoF missiles. If you attack lets say 2 ravens and they dont have FoFs in cargo, they will die. Remeber missiles uncloak u when they are within 2km of your cloaked ship.

@ Andrymeda; I have no idea what you're trying to say, but I'll ask you 2 questions:
1) Have u actually tried the stealth bombers with the new changes on SiSi?
2) Have u at least read the last 3 pages of this thread?
SBs are fine as they are on SiSi atm, the only matter that needs attention is the balance issue between the different race's bombers.
