title says it all really, which do you think would win? a intercepter or a stealth bomber? you reasons why and maybe setups of how you'd go about winning a fight with either of which ever type of ship you'd think would win.
probably best to take into account that the module activation is being taken away from stealth bombers, just incase that changes peoples thoughts.

If the ceptor remembers the turn of his MWD he would win, but if he doesn't, he could die a really nasty death ;)

ok ->
If your jammed or webbed down with a
range setup your gonnna loose in an inti
If your not jammed and your either close range high damage
or long range with a 20k scrambler your gonna win in an inti
Does that make sense?

Only a fool takes a SB close range against a Ceptor.....

The inty, assuming both pilots know what they are doing.
Inty signature radius is so small that cruise missiles would do **** all damage, and the inty's weapons would do full damage to the stealth. That's at short to medium range.
At long range, the inty warps out before the missiles hit (draw) or takes the first volley and closes, and then see above.
And incidentally, I think an inty with mwd would do worse in this situation; much larger sig radius, therefore possibly more damage from missiles.

Against a stealthbomber I think the interceptor should keep his MWD running. The stealth bomber has a special stat that with skills give crusier missiles an explosion radius of around 40m.
So for an average interceptor turning on the mwd with only increase damage due to size by 30-40% BUT if he is going say 3500m/s the damage will be reduced by 95% due to speed.

Standard missiles do ****-all damage to fast interceptors. So, even if cruise missiles had the tracking attributes of standard missiles, they would still do ****-all damage. The inty is favored to win.

Hoshi is right,ive fired at an inty, coming head on with mwd and hit for around 6 dmg.
Due to the fact they basically outrun ur missiles blast radius. So yes it has a larger sig rad,and if it was sat still with mwd it would get hurt,but aslong as its doing over 600ms (i think) it outruns the cruise dmg. Though the 600 might be skilled based.
Once the inty gets in range,he should easily dispatch the bomber.As it has no real defense,i guess IF he could web the inty he would stand a better chance,but inty should deal too much dmg too fast tbh.
And if the bomber cloaks,changes are inty will uncloak u before u can escape.

but will your guns be able to hit him aswell while you orbit at a very high speed?!

It would probably come down to if the inty survives the first volley or not. Plated intys would always win.

As a manticore pilot, I've been in several engagements agaianst interceptors. Unless the interceptor has been webbed or is afk sitting at a gate, then the interceptor almost always wins the fight.
The problem is that even though the bombers get an undocumented missile sig radius bonus, the pure velocities that interceptors pull with a MWD completely negates any damage from a cruise missile. Combine with the paper thin shield/armor, the bomber becomes a flying coffin futilely pecking away at an interceptor that is easily tanking the pathtic damage.
The cloaking device doesn't help b/c the interceptor can lock a bomber faster than a bomber can lock, fire, hit, and cloak.
Rule of thumb here: DO NOT engage an interceptor with a lone bomber. You have better chances of survival agianst AFs, cruisers, BC, and BS. The only ship classes you should consider taking on in 1v1 are frigates and destroyers.

a ceptor with good ceptor skill.......(reducing sig radius)....will get hit for 1-2 dmg from the cruise missle with MWD on
with just 1 sensor dampner the ceptors targeting range is below web range,
webbed inty is a dead inty
killed quite a few on the test server, though the 2 blasters suplimenting the 2 cruise were Essential

close range ceptor loses, plated or not. 
long range ceptor, toss up, prolly win. 
if SB is setup to kill long range 'ceptor it would prolly lose to both.

If the inty can stay out of web range, he's golden.
If not, it's a bit more of a fair fight.

hush up!
weirda don't want inty to stop engaging hound...
after much thought... the inty wins every time, especially close range ones...

time to start having sensor boosters on inty's when going for long rang
