Im a scout and the cloak makes this FPS feel a lot different, using my knowledge of the enemy positions while they dont know where i am is a powerful strategy for patient people.
But what i want to know is , what are the new issues? what does the community think that needs re-balance, is there something OP ? (i havnt noticed any), why are there so many less tanks than before?
Ty for any new info
I think the biggest issue so far is the time it takes from going cloaked to visible. The delay is long enough that one can equip a weapon, say a shotgun, and take someone down in a shot before you even become visible.
That and the bonuses to your suit don't take effect immediately upon spawn, which can be a pain in the butt in the middle of a match.
Looking for the scout hangout?

Ty for any new info 1-I think the biggest issue so far is the time it takes from going cloaked to visible. The delay is long enough that one can equip a weapon, say a shotgun, and take someone down in a shot before you even become visible. 2-That and the bonuses to your suit don't take effect immediately upon spawn, which can be a pain in the butt in the middle of a match. 1-Well me being a Cloak user now with a scout , well , i cannot say i HATE this feature in particular. I wouldn't be against its removal either. BUT: I've been on both sides of the cloak ''knife'' already, and to be honest is not that big of an issue in my opinion since once the player is moving, cloaked or not ,you are going to be seen by any competent player. ACtually its funny how many people i've seen with cloaks and FAIL to sneak because they are moving ALL the time. People if you are not patient to stay still and wait for a while ,then the cloak is not for you... 2-This i didnt know, i;ve noticed that when i spawn i spawn with less HP and takes a whole 15+ seconds to start recharging... is this the same issue you are mentioning...?
1-, I think it is easier to view cloaking as an active dampener more than anything. Even staying still and trying to be stealthy, I end up being seen and killed. Also, take into account that moving in shadow or dark maps makes the cloak much more visible than moving in sunlight.
2- Yes. Not only is my ehp less, but I hack slower, and I am almost positive that my profile is higher in the minute or so after spawning.

1-Well then maybe is something to do with Profile dampening affecting overall cloaking performance?
I use a Proto Gk.0 Scout, with Complex profile dampener and i've been in the middle of a room with other 6 Red dots and they simple DONT see me at all.(Staying STILL of course)
On the other side of the coin,i ALWAYS see the red triangle signaling an enemy even if he is cloaked (specially med frames) .So even if i might not see him very well with my own eyes, the game signals them to me....
Im not sure if you run a scout or not, but profile dampening seem to go hand to hand with claoking.
2-well. Is this a glitch that going to be fixed or....
1- I think it is a combination of the dampening and your precision, as I can sometimes spot the distortion of someone cloaked, but because I only run an adv precision enhancer at most, I don't see the chevron. It also varies between mercs, mostly because there are those that pay attention and look for the distortion, while others are haphazard.
2- Yes, and eventually. Here is the list of known issues and bugs if you were curious.
