Civilization – Defence against stealth bombers

civilization-5

I was fighting a technological superior foe. Korea! had only just gained Jet technology.

Korea had employed a stealth bomber. For once I was on the wrong side of this weapon and Korea was picking off my melee units.

In the city i was attacking from/defending I had jet fighters set to intercept . I also had an anti-aircraft gun. I am not sure if I was damaging the Stealth Bomber.

I had quick combat on which could have made it difficult to see if I was damaging the bomber.

Can stealth bombers be defended from? (other than from the bomber taking a little damage as you do attacking any target with planes).

The only way to defend against Stealth Bombers is capture the city they are based from or to damage them so much using nuclear weapons that they are destroyed. The later being the most effective option as the air unit would most likely relocate prior to conventional invasion.

The reason that air defences do not work is because the Stealth Bomber has this ability:

Evasion (100)

100 evasion is 100% evasion. This means that fighters/jets set on interception will not intercept a Stealth Bomber and AA will not fire on a Stealth Bomber.
