HOW MUCH AREA DOES A STEALTH BOMBER BOMB?

Depends, when I use it I miss everyone so I would suggest a very small kill zone. When someone else uses it the entire maps goes up, go figure.
Thats what I was thinking lol. I just got prestige 8, and wanted to try some different point streaks (been using Specialist as long as I can remember). I have a hard time getting kills with the SB. I have been running AUAV, then save it for the SB, then deploy em' both to try and see how much damage I can do. Even with 4 arrows by the bulldozer on Hardhat, I usually only ring out 1 or 2 kills tops. Must be the way I'm using it I guess.
I think the trick is to know the spawn points and place it over that, disregarding the mini map and arrows etc. I found that out today on domination with the preditor missile. I aimed at one player who disappeared, I dragged the analogue down the map and got a triple kill by nailing the spawn. What was even better was that none of the players showed up, more than likely blindeye warriors lol
Problem here is, you dump it on the red dots... by the time it comes in (and the team knows it is coming in), they have moved.
I don't know exactly, all I know is it's too much. It's way too powerful for a freaking Support killstreak... Support streaks over 5 = noob. Uav+Cuav is acceptable, anything over that = no skill. but that's just my opinion, if you want to help the noobs ruin the game by spamming the air with stealth bombers, EMP's and osprey airdrops, go ahead...
No problem, will do.
It's hardly the noobs that get them so much like people keep trying to blame. It's the more experienced players just taking advantage of how Support works because, unlike Assault, they don't have to worry about having their streak interrupted by a "lucky", "noob", etc kill and having to do it all over.
If you're facing true noobs using Support and they manage to constantly get the Stealth Bomber/EMP/etc against you, the problem is you and your team, not the Killstrreak itself because such "no-skilled" players should never be able to "spam" Stealth Bombers/EMPs/etc. At most, they should only be getting MAYBE 1, and by the time they get it, it will make little difference.
Couldn't agree more /\/\. I didn't feel it neccessary to explain why I was now using the SB, only wanting to know what kind of damage I could deal with it. Call me a nOOb if you want, but check my gamer tag if you feel I am truley a "nOOb". Usually I am the only one in the pre-game lobby with all my icons on my tag filled in for previous COD's. That mixed with the fact that I just dont care what people think is the "right way" to play the game. I'll be da/\/\ned if I'm gonna adjust my playstyle to make it funner for you.
About 2 inches squared![]()
I believe where you put the circle and indicate the area the stealth should hit is where it starts to drop the bombs. If you've ever watched one you know they drop like 5 truck loads of bombs on that area but the stealth is moving forward so the bombs are spread. I'd say more like a freaking football field length of bombs.
Depends on the size of your display
They always kill me, so I feel like the cover the whole map! ![]()
On small maps you can damn near get the whole thing.
Once I wiped out the whole team on domination, not by dumping it on their spawn but by cutting off the path from their spawn to B. I expected to get 2 maybe 3, but I got lucky.
Stealth bomber the no-skill multikill
now that we have heard from the peanut gallery..
what like skill camping to get a pavelow or ac130 in the air......my record was 3 bombers in one game hardly no skill.
Support streaks are a crutch for bad players....flame me all you like.
PS All I do is rush.
That may have been what they were made for, but I'll say again that it is not actually the "bad players" that get them so constantly and hit people with them like people are trying to convince themselves. If it is in their cases, it's their and their team's fault and perhaps they should take a look at their own supposed "skill" first instead of immediately blaming the killstreak while deluding themselves into thinking that they're too good.
The bomb area is only as big as the circle is on the map but it continues across the whole map, no matter which one you're playing.
I only ever play objective game modes unless I am playing Ground War or Mercenary, so the Stealth Bomber is very much the "no skill multi-kill" when I use it, or other players I play against for that matter. I often play against teams in Demo who have 2-3 of these stored up until the dying moments of a round or- most effectively, overtime. It usually takes 3-5 of the team out every time. The blast radius is pretty good in all honesty, at least as good as a Predator Missile. Stealth Bomber on Dome Demolition= almost guaranteed Multi-Kill during the dying seconds of a round.
