Am I missing something? Dont the stealth bombers get the CPU bonus that allows them to use the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II? Or is this only their astrometic counterparts? I see special bonuses only for cloaked velocity in the item database...

And that's a terrible injustice!

Warped cloaked, arrive, decloak, fire salvo immediately due to no scan res or lock delay, recloak and run away?
I'm sorry you can't have the FIRST ONE OF THIS LIST.

it'd be more like warp cloaked, arrive, decloak, lock target and while you're locking them they are locking you, fire missiles fail to cloak because you're being locked and laugh as your target was insta popped
how's that much different than stealth bombers are now?

20 seconds of seeing the stealthbomber appraoch on scan isn't conducive to surprise attacks. i.e anything fragile will get up to speed or jump out if they've half a brain.

I'm curious, why even have a cloak then? Is it just for hiding at safe spots, or waiting in ambush? I am interested in the techniques as I was thinking about getting one.
I get using a cloak for hiding, or waiting in ambush, but I dont understand its advantage when having to warp in to an enemy, or if you are warping around looking for a target. Is the idea just that you can recloak before they actually target you? Then what? You're just gonna uncloak to warp out anyway...
A setup I was looking at (based on my skills and ideas from the forums) is:
Cloak II, 3x Malkuth Cruise
2xSensor Damp, 1x Sensor Booster (1 slot extra- passive targeter?, third sensor damp??)
1xBCU, (1 slot- CPR for cap? signal amp for locktime?)

"IT'S A TRAP"-Admiral Ackbar
This comes to my nerdy mind when I use my stealth bomber.
They are good at traps.
Have some sort of tough as nails but looks innocent ship with your stealth bombers 90 km off.
Pirate A warps in. Starts shooting bait. Bait tackles and webs him. You uncloak. BYE BYE whatever you are shooting at. (Did 15000 damage to a drake using this btw)
Stealth bomber is nasty when used right as most bigger ships can't do crap to a frigate orbiting at 90+km.

Took a -lot of losses before I figured that out.
My 10 cents of Stealth bombers...
Stealth bombers are like submarines. Submariners are known as 'The Silent Service' Rules of stealth bombers..
1: Prepare prepare prepare. This means creating bookmarks ahead of time. Dont want to be visible when you warp in ? Make some off grid bookmarks so you can slowboat onto the grid. Patience is important to being stealty.
2: If you cant get them in 1 or 2 salvo's you will likely die.
3: Intys can be killed if you can web them (alot of 'invincible' inty pilots learn to stay out of web range the hard way..)
4: Use a bubble as a tackler. Making them slowboat to the gate gives you a chance to pop them.
5: Align before you uncloak .
6: If you jump into a gate camp, breath, hold your cloak, look for the hole/quick way out, and Crazy Ivan after you recloak. Misdirection is very useful.
7: System Scanner is your friend.
8: 2 gate systems are your friend
9: You are only as safe as your safespots.
10: U want to run from people? Dont warp to '0' when you warp off to that planet. U will be owned.
