~~All stealth~~ bombers ~~get a 15% bonus to racial~~ torpedo damage:~~ ~~

Stealth bombers have the following bonuses

Amarr = +15% EM damage

Racial torpedo damage:

Caldari = +15% Kinetic damage

Amarr = +15% EM damage | Mjolnir Torpedo

Gallente = +15% Thermal damage

Caldari = +15% Kinetic damage | Scourge Torpedo

Minmatar = +15% Explosive damage

Gallente = +15% Thermal damage | Inferno Torpedo

~~as well as a 5% bonus to racial bomb damage per level of Covert-Ops trained. In addition, bombers get a flat~~ 100% bonus to torpedo velocity ~~and a~~ 50% bonus to explosion velocity and torpedo flight time. ~~Lastly, they receive a flat role bonus of a~~ -99.65% reduction in Torpedo Launcher powergrid needs, -50% reduction in Cloak CPU Use~~, and~~ -100% targeting delay after decloaking. ~~These last three skills are~~ to ~~ensure the ship can equip battleship size missile launchers, and that the covert-ops cloak is used exclusively on covert-ops ships~~.

Minmatar = +15% Explosive damage | Nova Torpedo

100% bonus to torpedo velocity

50% bonus to explosion velocity and torpedo flight time.

-99.65% bonus reduction in Torpedo Launcher powergrid needs

-50% bonus reduction in Cloak CPU Use

-100% bonus targeting delay after decloaking.

Pilots gain an additional 5% bonus per level of Covert-Ops skill trained to racial bomb damage.

In fitting a bomber it is ideal to maximize potential damage. This is done largely with the use of ~~target painters~~, and ~~ballistic control systems~~. These greatly increase ~~the DPS torpedoes do~~ to non-battleship size targets. ~~Newer players will have trouble fitting three launchers as well as a~~ bomb launcher ~~without perfect fitting skills~~. The ~~purifier~~, in particular, is difficult to fit.

When fitting a bomber, it is ideal to maximize potential damage. This is done largely with the use of [[Target Painter]], and [[Ballistic Control System]] modules. These modules greatly increase torpedo damage to non-battleship size targets. New bomber pilots must increase their skill levels to fit the maximum torpedo and bomb launcher loadout. The Purifier, in particular, is difficult to fit.

A standard general fitting is as follows. Work your way down the list to gauge how much CPU you have left to fit the next module down the list.

*=Adding extra modules depends on your ship's CPU limit

**=The Bomb Launcher ~~is largely very difficult to~~ fit ~~in addition to the~~ three 'Arbalest' launchers ~~due to~~ CPU ~~limit~~.

**=The Bomb Launcher will fit with three 'Arbalest' launchers if a CPU Processor is loaded into the low slot.

Bombers can alter the standard fit to include 1 bomb launcher and offline 1 or 2 torpedo launchers, or fit for 3 torpedo launchers only.

The choice of what meta level module to fit into the mid and low slots is largely capsuleer choice, however it is recommended that pilots fit the highest (up to meta 5/Tech II) module ~~possilbe~~. If CPU usage is a problem with the Arbalest launchers, the meta 1 variants (Malkuth) offer less performance but less CPU usage. Alternatively, if the DPS difference is smaller, altering the rigs used on the bomber may allow for better fits.

The choice of what meta level module to fit into the mid and low slots is largely capsuleer choice, however it is recommended that pilots fit the highest (up to meta 5/Tech II) module possible. If CPU usage is a problem with the 'Arbalest' launchers, the meta 1 variants (Malkuth) offer less performance but less CPU usage. Alternatively, if the DPS difference is smaller, altering the rigs used on the bomber may allow for better fits.

The sensor dampener is used to increase the bomber's lifespan. Dampeners are used to reduce enemy ships targeting range and scan resolution. It is recommended that all ships carry both scripts in their hull so switching can be done on the fly. However, in multiple bomber gangs, it is usually advised to run the targeting range script.

"Torpedos, a stealth bomber's life, and death." (Space Warfare Development)

All bombers should be carrying Faction torpedoes due to smaller explosion radius.

Dread ~~Guristas~~ variant torpedoes deal the biggest damage/are the most expensive.

Dread Gurista's variant torpedoes deal the biggest damage/are the most expensive.

Caldari variant torpedoes deal big damage/standard ammo for stealth bombers.
