Meant for SuperCook1eMan with the usual "should be in Assault" thing.

It's because, as usual, people are under the impression that "support" should be non-lethal-only, with no potential of killing players, which is a bit of a ridiculous mindset. As I said early on, if you think like that, then for all purposes, the UAV and Care Package should be taken out of Assault and put into Support as neither of them are, alone, meant to be lethal themselves. But then you'd have people complain about that because people would get the EMP through the Care Package and such.

Which post are you replying to? I have no problem with it in support. Or any killstreak in any category at all.

Yes, Stealth Bombers need a tweak. They need to be removed from Support and put into Assault. Maybe even along with the EMP.

I don't have any problem with them being in support. I can see their value there. And EMP definitely doesn't belong in assault.

Yeah SBs are trash, need to be in assault. But as far as avoiding em, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but it does work. Trophy Systems won't work against em, but if you crawl under the trophy, you will survive. Sounds crazy, i know, but i promise it works. I guess it's probably a glitch since if your standing next to it, it's not stopping the explosions and will kill you, but if you can pull it out fast enough and crawl directly under it, you will survive 100% of the time. You can check this out in PM just like I did and get your buddy to drop a SB directly on top of you and your trophy. It works. Hope this helps someone.

I always crawl under the trophy. Didn't work when I tried it.

How is a predator any more of a "projectile" ammo than a dropped bomb?

And it works against IMS, dunnno about c4 though.

I don't think it stop any bombs though. I believe it drops a lot less than 100; it seems like a 2-bomb-wide strike that goes for some distance. Whatever, next time I'll check it out if I get a trophy under it.

I thought I saw a youtube video saying how it would stop two bombs.

It should definitely work on stealth bombers then. They drop bombs=explosive=trophy can destroy it.

No, it will only stop projectile type ammo, Predators (most of the time), nades (all types), C4, possibly IMS (I just can't remember atm), & all lock on and free-fire missiles (javs, RPG's).

Most of the time when you see a trophy near a bomber's or air-strike's path, it just gets destroyed. Although, when the game was released it may have stopped two bombs. But what's that in a cluster of 100 or so that it drops.

I wouldnt call my style camping. Although I like to camp. I consider myself to be a "Walker". I cant stand sitting still unless its a busy area. Like Ill camp that one corner in hardhat cause the maps are so small people keep running and running. I also camp when I snipe, cause I dont QS. But the rest of the time Im moving, not running cause thats instant death. But...Walking.

You can lock on to bombers with stingers

Bad wording. Like you said how you can't see their stuff if they kill you if thei're EMP'ed.

I say you still should be able to, but if you kill them, on their own Killcam, they should not see the setup of the one who killed them because of the EMP.

So basically, when EMP'ed.

They kill you = You still see their setup

You kill them = They cannot see your setup like they normally would.

Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:50:58 GMT

The opposite should be true? So when you kill someone you should see their setup? How does that even make sense?

And I think it's perfectly fine the way it is, barring EMP. Let's be realistic, hardly anyone adapts, and it only gives a small advantage to those playing a tactical game.

Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:49:06 GMT

If anything, it should be the opposite, THEY shouldn't be able to see YOUR set ups.

I think the issue here is not so much the word "Stealth" , but as in "Bomber" LOL

If a massive plane dropped tens of bombs on you, don't you think it would be a little bit silly to suggest you'd survive unless you weren't near it.
