CORE adv. crawling bomb cloaking problem
I built an adv. crawling bomb and cloaked it on a game on Centerrock V12. I had enough energy and I walked it across one of the bridges. I watched it go and it was popped by a Doomsday machine... even though it was cloaked. This happened again on Altored Divide. I cloaked the bomb and it still was being shot at from a good ways from an Annihilator. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem... or if they show up on radar. Just need some feedback to know if it is a bug.

Cloaked Crawling bombs are Radar visible at all times, even when cloaked.
The "Skuttle" is a CORE only unit and is in AA 2.11 (Absolute Annihilation)
Its a balence issue guys, those bombs aren't your normal baby bombs, these use the same explosion as the Nuclear mines used to.
If an undectable, cloaked, stealth bomb was capable of getting into any base, there would be no point in building other units.
You could just walk a cloaked army of 10 bombs into a base, surround key structures and pretty much instantly win the game.
If Cloaked crawling bombs were stealth, it would be the same as removing the Anti-Nuke silo's from a game, where you have no defences what so ever that can stop it.
What is great about the cloaked bombs is this, once you get within enemy radar jammers, you become 100% completely invisible. The enem'y own jamming towers become their own worst enemy.
If you're dealing with attacking an Annihilator, use the cheapest fastest units you can make, (jeffies/Ak's) rush them in from different directions at the annihilator while you move those crawling bombs up.
Use this to your advantage, Core also has a mobile jammer unit right?
