Ok I have been playing with the test server and I can't do the one drop pop like you did there. Did you Damage them once before then recorded this? Or were those frigates and destroyers?
@clawoftiamat tbh, i cant honestly remember what the shiptypes were, i can say that there was no previous damage to them though, it might be worth mentioning that i have covops skill @ lvl 5, and all my painter [and painter support skills] are between lvl 4 and 5
The vid was not so much about dropping the pack of ships successfully, it was more about the method of deliverance, good luck !
Been trying to find an answer to this so maybe you can help, if a stargate was in range of the blast when it goes off would I incur the wraith of concord or does it not actually hit the stargate?
@damnicantfindaname yeah I didn't explain myself, i was wondering while looking at the bomb's info, it said that the concussion bomb for instance travels at 3000 m/s for 10 seconds which is 10 kilometers but if you are traveling at let's say 100 m/s, is this speed added to the launch speed of the bomb which would be 3100 m/s?? that give us 31 km bomb range, or does the bomb always travel at the same speed?
@damnicantfindaname he meant, if the ship is not moving and the bomb flies at a certain speed, does the speed of the bomb change if the ship is moving?
@gonger03 the bomb travels at 3000m/s it detonates in 10 seconds, this means it will travel 30km before detonating, the speed of your ship does not affect the speed of the bomb in any way, but the direction which your ship is flying most certainly does
@Paintball279 if you are targeted [or being targeted] you CANNOT activate your cloak module, your only hope of keeping your ship is to warp out, this is where being aligned to your intended warpout helps greatly, as you are already halfway to getting the hell outta there,
To actually enter warp, your ship needs to be at a minimum of 80% of its maximum speed
@damnicantfindaname alright i figured there was some kind of way to prevent that instant cloaking in and out of combat besides the delay. I havnt quite made it to stealth bombers but im about to get into a Assult Frigate. Got tired of my Drake and Raven! Thought id try something new.
@Paintball279 flying SB's can be costly, but great fun, get a couple of good friends together and fly in a wolfpack, they are an excellent tool for splitting those pesky gatecamps
@SmartBomb7 get over yourself mate, it is a tut to explain a few things for beginners, click your mouse in the search bar and look for 'stealth bombers' and 'pvp' if you couldnt get your thrills here, plenty of vids of that all over youtube
@SmartBomb7 Stealth Bombers are actually kinda "meh" for PVP....they are really best at popping non-combat targets like mining barges, haulers and other scout ships- most PVP ships will not fall to a solo bomber even if you get the drop on them. (unless flown by a terrible pilot or something)
@damnicantfindaname ...definately not me, lol. This video you made got me in to stealth bombers,and taught me well enough to rake up a nice 28-2 record with 'em. You did an excellent tutorial, anybody who in my corp who asks me about bombers gets shown this vid.
to do a good bomb run you fly in with a object behind the target relitive to you with in 30 degrees then drop the bomb and warp the bomb should go off right as you pass thru in warp without gettin hit
one thing i will add, for a "perfect" (in a respect) bombing run, you should position yourself in such a way that if you allign to a planet, the target(s) is in between you and the celestial object.
thus, you can uncloak, launch the bomb, and be in warp all in the space of literally, about 1 second as you dont have to spend time aligning.
although this can take considerable time, it will ensure you dont get caught and killed
Im curious. I get within 30km of a target and fire torpedoes at it but they dissipate before they reach the target and explode. I am sitting still when they are fired. What am i doing wrong?
Could be that you haven't got all the support skills. I.e missile bombardment and missile projection. These will make the torps fly faster and further, increasing their range.
@gtgoskate look at the info for your loaded missiles, multiply your flight time by missile speed, that will give you your max distance that your missiles will travel, take a few km off this number and you should have a fair idea of your minimum distance you need to be at before your missiles run out of fuel
@damnicantfindaname also make sure you view the missile info from ur fitting panel, only by then you will know how your skills are affecting your missile's velocity speed and flight time.
Not much you can cram into 4 and a half minutes, but i think it will give enough of an understanding to get on sisi and have a play, which is what EVERY budding bomber pilot should do in his early days
wanna thnx you for this interresting video.
thnx m8

@DevilDragon911 bombs can only be launched in nullsec... its cowboy country out there =]
So in short, no, hit the stargate as many times as you like, concorde will not show their frilly skirts out there !

Good vid, but if you did that in PVP, you would most likely be warping away from your wreck in your pod. But a good vid for the basic's!!!!

at that i do it different
1. decloak
2. launch bomb
3. get away
but its only good for a gang of SB's(i never fly alone)
but its a good tut for basic SB stuff
