Too many Stealth Bombers!

Seriously they are far too frequent (aka easy to get). Most games I see 3 or 4 and apart from running indoors all the time there isn't really an effective counter - Blind Eye is no good against random carpet-bombing!
strafe run and stelath bomber should switch places.
That would make a lot more sense.
I agree, I think strafe run is what? 9 killstreak? And it is just awful. First day i had the game I thought stealth bomber shouldn't have been a support package.
I agree and my friend got screwed in match he tried to use a predator and all he hit was a stealth bomber. AND IT CANT BE KILLED NOT EVEN XP FOR HITING ONE! they spammed so many that match aswell...
Haven't experienced a major issue with the stealth bomber. I find them to be extremely inaccurate and relatively easy to avoid as far as being killed goes.
I do agree that they are hilariously easy to obtain thanks to being in the support package.
I'm not against the idea of them being switched with LOL Run as you can completely destroy the LOL Run with a single Stinger.
Of course if you're in a game where all the players are fails and nobody has a Stinger on them the LOL Run evolves into God Run and kills a mess of people.
Trade off.
I agree the spam especially in groundwar is crazy.
Colour blind assist is quite a good counter. But yeah I agree. I think support streaks should be non leathal. They dont bother me but then I dont play ground war which I imagine they could be quite full on in.
The steath bomber is extremely easy to avoid! This does not need to be changed - re-spawns need to be changed.
the only way to destroy them is with an emp.

You're seeing 3-4 stealth bombers a game?
You must be losing and dying quite a bit too.
I play a lot of HC Domination and usually get 2 of them per match on average. Additionally, if your team is good at holding two points and leave the other squad pigeonholed in the third point area, you'll generally get 3-4 kills with each one, if not more.
I'd venture a guess that my team usually calls in 5-8 of them per round.
I got killed by the Stealth Bomber...it needs a nerf. Instead of dropping JDAMs, it needs to drop marshmellows...or pillows...or stuffed kitty cats.
I'm sick of the shaking and concussion effect of the stealth bomber. After about the 4 minute mark it seems like and endless wave from both teams.
Just one more reason I have started playing Barebones.
I love em in TDM. I usually save one. SO when the score is say 7100-7200, I bust em out for the comeback!
The stealth bombers are really easy to get since they are support package, but avoiding them is super easy. If you switch to color blind assist mode ON - they appear on your mini map. Your's and the enemies before they fly - so you can easily avoid getting killed. Though I do agree, it is a major pain in the butt when you're playing a game, and the opposing team busts out with 12 stealth bombers 11 emps, a 17 juggernauts (longer games...)
ya every game im in i play theres 4-6 when i play ground war and 2-4 when i dont.SBs are op if you ask me and i hope they get nurfed at least make in louder and a smaller radius and stop it from rumbling your screen and slowing you down i mean god damn.
and every time one goes up easy no skill triple and muti kills.
Hate it in Domination, always seems to be like 10 of them
Yeah, domination is an insufferable gametype because it's nothing but support streaks and awful players going 12-44 with 6 assists and some capture points calling in a stealth bomber and an EMP. Pretty remarkable.
I don't have a problem with Stealth Bomber, there are ways to dodge and counter it.
Now EMP is a different story, since its unavoidable. EMP could use a SMALL nerf.
assassin pro aviods it a little
GW Dom especially, I have been in a match with 10 Stealth Bombers, 5 recon drones, and 6 EMPs. I think the whole other team was running Support, and a lot of my team too.
They should remove the stealth bomber from Support and move it to Assault.
is someone scared of one streak that can kill from support compaired to the the whole assult package that all of them can kill

What makes you think I am scared of it? Is someone scared of actually earning air support with a killstreak? Is someone scared of not being able to call in an easy way to wipe out an entire team?
It doesn't support the team so it shouldn't be in support. If you try to use the logic that it supports the team by killing everyone then the AC130, Reaper, Pavelow, etc would also be "supportive".
Assault should kill people and Support should support.
Don't see a problem with them in HC, usually don't see the high streaks in HC matches, where they aren't as easy to learn. I play mostly TDM, however, and its rare to see anyone get more than 30 kills in a match or see more than 1 or 2 SBs or Airstrikes in a match. I use mine because its a great way to flush out campers and open a path for teammates, though I have to be careful with where I drop them.
I can see how they would be an issue in Core. Its silly, you can just drop them anywhere with no impact on your team or thought about where you are putting them.
honestly in a good game I get 3 emps and 4 stealth bombers, they dont pull in all the kills you complain about, theyre easy to dodge, very easy, in my 4 stealth bombers in a good game I generally get 4-5 kills, I use them to subdue an area pre capturing an objective, not for mass kills like the cry babies believe they are for
Yea if you are seeing 3-4 stealth bombers a game you are dying alot.Just run EMP problem solved.
No problem here with the SB. I use it in Dom and it gets used on my team as well. Fair is fair and if you are on a team that is giving up that many, then something is wrong with the team you are on.
Honestly, who cares? I mean you have access to the same stuff. If you are too good to use them, then you are too good to complain about them as well.
Stealth Bombers should be in the Assualt package.
