I remember a few months back, when SB's were released, there was a lot of discussion on the forums as to the 25% velocity bonus and whether it actually made you faster when u cloaked or not. I never had the chance to test it out back then, but I've got one now...
I've got one fitted with a Prototype cloak atm, and I have level 4 covert ops, so (from what I gathered) my stealth bomber should be going as fast cloaked, as it does uncloaked... But it isn't...
Is this a bug, or has it always been like this?

All cloaks except the covert ops cloak give a negative velocity bonus so on stealth bombers the only cloaks you'll be using will make you go slower.

Unless you take the cloaked velocity bonus into consideration :)
My bomber goes faster when cloaked (Imp. Cloak) than uncloaked, with Cov Ops trained to level 4.

Yea, that was what all the discussion was about, but from what I remember, everyone eventually agreed that the 25% velocity bonus (per level) made you faster when your at level 5 than if you were uncloaked...
And if you read their description, they say thay have the potential ability to move faster when cloaked. They can't fit a covert ops cloak (atleast it doesn't give a bonus to fitting one) so the only other 2 cloaks you can use reduce the speed, but refer to above... ^
An enigma I tells ya...

You /have/ to use an improved cloak II. If you dont youll go slower when cloaked and wont have nearly as much fun.
Go spend the 15 mil on the improved cloak II and with level 4 cov ops youll go 50+ m/s faster when cloaked than not depending on the bomber.

i dont think a covert ops cloak will fit a stealth bomber. only the covert ops buzzard. i have a level two cloak fitted to my stealth bomber kestral and it gose faster cloaked than it dose uncloaked. the covert ops cloak has a mega i think cpu demand that is negated by the covert ops ships bouns
talk is cheap the cost of action is enormus

I only have covert ops 4, but my ship goes just over 400M/S anyway, plently fast enuff.
I cant be arsed to treck all the way back to empire just for a naffing cloak tho, this crappy one will have to do.

heheheh... just pick one up next time youre around - no need to go all the way back.
Ive sometimes flown over 250k to set up for one kill. Ill take the 50+ m/s over the -250 any day ;)

With Covert Ops V you still go faster while cloaked with a Prototype. 
Now why isn't this in Ships & Mods?

Does this affect your sensor recalibration as well, or is there no penalty with this Cloak fitted to a bomber?

no, really, you want to be able to travel at full speed. this isn't a covops ship, it's an attack ship. speed ftw
