Title could also be stealth bombers in general but my experience is mainly with the Caldari.

 

Highs:

3x XT-9000 Cruise launchers

1x improved cloak

Mids:

2x damps tech 2 (targeting range)

2x sensor booster tech 2 (with both scripts ready)

lows:

2x overdrive tech 2

 

The highs are self-explanatory, if you want you can put arbies up there but i like to keep it cheap.  you don't want tech 2 for the fitting requirements

the mids can be mixed a bit, i have seen a web for taking interceptors replace a sensor booster.  imo its not worth it, better to hit the ceptor from a far and then warp away.

the lows are a bit more up for grabs.  i put overdrives in there because they are easy to fit, and provide a nice boost to speed which is essential in escaping gate camps and getting into position.  The other choice are ballistic control units.  my reasoning for overdrives instead is that you are already doing a great deal of damage, and the bcus don't add that much to make them worth the fitting.

 

now flying a stealthbomber can either be very fun or frustrated.  the main problems are complete lack of tank and inability to tackle.  yes you can fit a disruptor but the key to surviving in this ship is not getting close while engaging.  instead you need to play your biggest strength and that is being able to choose your fights.  I have seen stealthbombers used to hinder the refueling of poses.  sit the ship close to the pos, wait for hauler to come, uncloak 1 volley them and then recloak before pos can lock you.  with correct skills and faction ammo you should insta pop the hauler unless it is tanked.

the power of a stealthbomber gang can be seen here:

Heres a great video showcasing the bombers abilities in groups with tackle support.

Now this is your standard but your BEST fit in a SB. You need the damps to stop any ranged attacks from BS or BC and you can get into position pretty damned fast when cloaked, you get like 340m/s when cloaked with the skills up enough, very nice.

 

Use it well

What are you talking about cosy..? The Sensor boosters on a Manticore or any Stealth Bomber were not for range but for sensor strength due to them losing a whole bunch of it to the cloak. you'd run, two sensor resolution booster scripts and 2 sensor range dampening rigs on the manticore and you'll be out of any non boosted max range. bar recons, which have insane standard range. And manti's can orbit quite nice doing max damage at 80k.

Sorry for the block of text

Also keep in mind in that gang there is about 7 bombers approx so with that many damps the so called nerf doesn't even matter. That corp still runs those style of ops with good success today. Oh by the way, thats the first time I have ever heard anyone call a stealthbomber overpowered. Most everyone says they are underpowered and are only useful in gangs such as the one in the video.
