I read the devblog, and scanned through bluetags on this thread, and did not see an answer to this very important question.
Background:
Currently, if someone's dropsuit profile, is lower than an enemy's scan precision, you will not show up on their radar... UNLESS they happen to spin around, and catch sight of you in their field of vision. Then you fully show up on their radar, for a time of
(duration you are in sight) + 2 seconds, roughly speaking.
So.. what if you are cloaked?
The dev blog says that the enemy no longer sees a "chevron or health bars".
But will you also not show up on line-of-sight radar?
Logically, one would guess "no", but it would be reassuring to have an explicit positive answer on this.

(edit: since logically, crosshairs should NOT go red if you're cloaked. but they do >.<)
Like active scanners, passive scanners work the exact same way, but have extremely limited range and efficiency.
you're making very self-assured statements, but you're not a dev. Unless you can reference a specific dev post that states it, you are potentially posting misinformation.
And, fyi, you werent paying attention.
I asked about radar. NOT "passive scanners".
The two are not interchangable.
Devs: Can we get an official answer on this please? |

I think they already implicitly answered that. Since cooking grenades puts something visibly in your hand, its just another weapon change. Therefore you're not keeping the cloak active any more, so no cloak.
btw I dont understand what you wrote about cloaked grenade campers.
To me it seems pretty cut and dried: touching a grenade in any way, will and should result in cloak dropping. |

It WOULD be perfect, however, forhacking that annoying A, on manus peak without getting sniped (or at least more of a chance)...
Except that CCP decided it would be a good idea to make the crosshair turn red, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE CLOAKED?!?!?
This is insane, and needs to be removed.
