Why is the raven not working for me?

[FloridamanActual]

I have played since release, trust me I know how sead works. What Im wondering is why every time I send a Raven into a SEAD run it gets shot down faster then my Prowlers...

I have huge success with the prowlers and usualy dont lose them unless the enemy sends up Air to Air planes to intercept them(Which means I keep them for most of the game). Yet the whenever I use the raven it dies in seconds to the same resitance that my prowlers just saw.
Supposidly it is the best SEAD plane in the game and is a major US deck advantage.

Can anyone tell me how to use the Raven specificaly or if it requires a special technique.
(IM NOT DIRECTLY TARGETING AA).

Fly parallel to enemy AA nets or click before them to make the raven do a circle and skirt the edge of an air defense network. (I Suggest doing some tests to see the turning radius of the Raven in a single player match with just yourself)

NEVER fly over where you expect the AA to be, as there's probably manpads and IR AA waiting, but generally the raven has a PACT AA deflector shield, decent stealth, and moves at 1000KM/H, so i'm not sure why they would get shot down more than Prowlers besides the way they are used.
