=== Targets ===

Stealth bomber torpedoes are ~~most~~ effective against larger targets ~~like~~ battlecruisers and battleships ~~because of the way that~~ missile mechanics ~~work in EVE~~. ~~More damage is applied as~~ the signature radius ~~of the ship~~ approaches the size ~~of the explosion~~. ~~Small~~ ships take ~~significantly reduced~~ damage from ~~torpedos~~. A torpedo's 400 meter explosion ~~does not contribute much~~ damage to ships ~~of cruiser size~~ and ~~below~~.

Stealth bomber torpedoes are highly effective against larger targets such as battlecruisers and battleships due to EVE's missile mechanics. As the ship's signature radius approaches the explosion size, more damage is inflicted. Conversely, smaller ships take considerably less damage from torpedoes. For instance, a torpedo's 400-meter explosion deals minimal damage to cruiser-sized ships and smaller.

~~Because of this, target~~ painters ~~often~~ play ~~an important part~~ in stealth bomber fleets. ~~Just~~ three target painters ~~on a target the size of~~ a Vexor Navy Issue cruiser ~~would change~~ its signature radius from 135m to 234m ~~causing much greater~~ torpedo application. ~~Should~~ a target-painted ship ~~engage~~ a microwarpdrive, 500% signature radius bloom combined with target painting ~~would mean~~ a ~~significant~~ increase in damage ~~application against~~ that ship.

Target painters play a crucial role in stealth bomber fleets because of this. Applying just three target painters to a Vexor Navy Issue cruiser, for example, increases its signature radius from 135m to 234m, significantly improving torpedo damage application. When a target-painted ship activates a microwarpdrive, the 500% signature radius bloom, combined with target painting, results in a substantial increase in damage inflicted on that ship.

~~Typically,~~ frigates and destroyers ~~should be avoided~~. ~~Even with~~ target painting and signature bloom, ~~frigates and destroyers present much more of~~ a threat to bombers.

It is generally advisable to avoid engaging frigates and destroyers. Despite target painting and signature bloom, these smaller ships pose a greater threat to bombers.
