Hello Community,

I'm interested in eventually flying a stealth bomber and as such had a question regarding the role bonuses they currently have. Not too long ago their role bonuses were...

-99.65% reduction in Siege Missile Launcher power grid needs
-99.5% reduction in Cloak CPU Use


...but I recently took another look and now the role bonuses are...

-50% reduction in Torpedo Launcher power grid needs
-50% reduction in Cloak CPU Use


So my question is this: if torpedo launchers have around a 1750 power load, and stealth bombers have between 38 and 45 power grid, how does -50% reduction in Torpedo Launcher power grid needs allow them to be able to fit torpedo launchers at all? I feel like I am missing a critical piece of the puzzle here. I've tried Google searching this question for some answers and have come up dry; there doesn't seem to be any discussion about these most recent role bonuses. Any assistance anyone can provide regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

It still fits, probably just a typo.

Thanks Bill and McKill. If it's just a bunch of miss-typed bonuses in the description tab of the stealth bombers, then CCP should fix those to curve confusion any prospective stealth bomber pilots might have. Thanks again for the info.
