The Anti-sub article is an excellent and very apt piece, but it appears to be re-enforcing my point? So...thanks, I guess?

Like many forms of warfare, successful anti-submarine warfare depends on a mix of sensor and weapon technology, training, experience and luck. Sophisticated sonar equipment for first detecting, then classifying, locating and tracking the target submarine is a key element of ASW. To destroy submarines both the torpedo and mine are used, launched from air, surface and underwater platforms.

So the counter for subs is to use sensors (active and passive scanning) to identify them, then explosive devices (AOE weapons) to neutralise. Sounds alot like the situation I've described above.

Firing an AOE weapon at the approximate location of an invisible suit is hardly a needle in a haystack, or a waste of ammo. In fact, firing at the approximate location of a suit is pretty much the primary purpose of AOE weapons. But if you need something extra, try aiming your weapon towards where the dot appears on your mini map, and then pull the trigger when it turns red?

With that, I've given you a total of 8 hypothetical counters for the one hypothetical situation involving cloaked suits so far. I'm happy to continue for as long as you like but for now, how about answering a question for me.

Are you able to explain what about the cloak make it so broken that the CPM is working together to pull off a nerf before it even makes it into game? What is so game changing that this level of engagement is required? Nothing you've mentioned so far explains the amount of effort you and Kain have put into destroying the cloak before its even released. It may be a bad mechanic, but the effort you've expended is so far out of proportion that's it's starting to seem like a troll.

So explain it to me.
