Prior to flying one of these ships, In my case the Arazu, i believed that given the ships rather aggressive bonuses they would be able to de-cloak and begin locking similar to a Stealth Bomber.
However I have noticed that after the Arazu de-cloaks (using a Covert Ops Cloak) it takes several seconds before I can begin locking a target. Is this the same on all Force Recon ships.
Is this a Bug or am I being Greedy?

I thought that the Covert Ops cloak didn't have a recalibration delay

That is deffinately what I tought also but on the Item description it self it says there is a delay and I am experiencing a delay. Dont know if it is the same on all Force Recons or just on the Arazu.

I think the stealth bomber is more of a ambush kind of ships. They can't warp cloaked and needs to sit still waiting for the target to come. The recon ship uses cov op cloaking device and can move around cloaked and can move with a gang. It is more of a support ship and don't need to be able to lock at once to be of any use.

I would really like to see the Stealth Bomber ability to target immediately after de-cloaking extended to the Force Recon Ships.

Well, who wouldn't?
But would you trade the ability to warp while cloaked for it?
Seriously though, the stealth bomber is the only ship that can target immediatley after de-cloaking. It's balancing factor is that it cannot warp cloaked. Stealth bombers would in many ways become less useful if Recon ships could both warp while cloaked and target immediatley after de-cloaking.
Honestly, the Falcon would be the WTFPWNmobile of eve if this were so. 7 midslots for tackling and Jamming, a nos, and being able to do that instanly from de-cloaking? It'd take a while to kill anything solo, but if you had even one gang mate.....
Hell, I'd never fly anything else if they had no lock delay.
6 seconds really isn't that bad as support in a gang.

These recon ships are hell with a probe launcher. Just probe em, warp in on them, and lock. If they are a frigate they will not get away. Cloaking is a different usage for me, and the two don't mix much. Though you can fit both, but in that case you are spotting for your buddies and not takin the kill yourself.
I don't see any reason to warp cloaked in this ship. We already have a covert ops frigate and this does not improve on that. We already have a bomber and this does not improve on that. The cloak ability is not very useful AFAICT.

It's very useful, just not as useful for ganks. Use your head.
