I thought it was a 'stealth' bomber?

Something that's been bugging me for a while now...they are supposed to be 'stealth' bombers, yet an enemy stealth bomber icon will show up on your map when it is used...what's the point of that? Isn't that a bit redundant?

All I do is look where the icon is coming from and take cover accordingly. Honestly, it's pretty stupid. I remember in MW2 and Blops stealth bombers were invisible to enemy radars, so why change it for this game?

There weren't any stealth bombers in Black Ops? If you're talking about the B52 (Rolling Thunder), that wasn't even a stealth bomber.

This is either a bug (or intentional by IW) with Color Blind Assist.

For those who don't know, Color Blind Assist changes all enemies names and their killstreaks (that show up on the radar) to orange, and the same thing for your teammates, but with blue. Right now, it's bugged to show enemies stealth bombers (forgot if your own shows either way) on the radar. Don't think its intentional, last time I checked black was a color any animal with eyes could see.

If your not using color blind... no clue what your problem is. I turn it on just cause I like orange and blue better then red and green :3

I think you're getting confused as the B-52 being a Stealth Bomber in BO

But nah, I agree with you. However, I've never had an enemy's Stealth Bomber appear on my RADAR, just friendly ones.

But, they are still redundat ever since MW2 from the simple fact they are the easiest *bleep*ing things to see and hear, I can hear the fudger and just look up and find a massive black arrow heading to the map before it gets anywhere near me giving me more than enough time to run for cover. The AC-130's are more stealthier than the B-2 Spirits.

For them to be effective, they're gunna have to make them silent and invicible to the enemy.

Horse, sit down, pay attention and learn a lesson....

hmm it happens to me also....

plus while im here...if it is a true 'stealth' bomber....why can my SAM turret take it down???

It shouldn't be, it probably took down a UAV during the bombing run.

Technically, a stealth bomber is "stealth" because it reduces it's radar signature, so that it appears much smaller on screens.
SAM turrets lock in on the heat generated from the engines of aircraft, so it would still be able to take one down, if it was flying low and slow enough.

HU1CH13, don't even get me started right now on those commentators. This twat who calls him Ali-A has posted a video of the best MW3 class. You honestly wanna know what it is?

*Blind Eye
*Assassin Pro
*Dead Silence Pro

*Silenced weapon

*Play Domination like TDM, getting NO captures yet camping in buildings getting kills.

I'm guessing EVERYONE who watches that video will make the exact same class, and do the exact same campy shit and not bother with the objectives. *bleep*ing pathetic.
