CLOAKS are ok, everyone saying they are EZ mode, OP whatever are just salty they cannot see that 300-400HP player running from a mile away.,Its just sad you truly want to take this away from scouts.

''OMG you can switch weapons and shoot while cloaked?''
This is an exaggeration.IF you WATCH someone cloaked RUNNING towards you you will notice:While switching weapons the cloak already starts to fade, and not only while moving YOU ARE VISIBLE, but while switching weapons parts of your body will reveal BEFORE even being able to shoot.Sure not complete visibility,but still visible.

Most of the people moaning and QQing about cloaks is because they lack Situational Awerness and overall lack serious teamwork.
If you are in a squad, a scout is a LOT less likely to attack you.
If you actually use your 2 eyes, you can see EVERY single cloaked enemy there is, people are just lazy and want everything done for them. Less than 20mts aways a cloaked enemy is visible, even while standing still.People just dont want to have to pay attention....

After reading several comments i have to agree with KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf. His solution to cloaks is a lot more sensitive.
The cloak could use:
GÖª removal of 25% dampening while cloaked
GÖª an audible noise when decloaking

GÇó This way its ever HARDER to abuse by NON scout suits that can achieve higher levels of HP.
GÇó This way even if not 100% decloaked, while swiching weapons the enemy can hear the decloaking sound and have a better chance to defend themselves.

(sorry about the mispellings,will correct later)
opinions?

(sorry about the mispellings,will correct later) opinions? There is an audiable noise while decloaking, problem is you are dead by the time you hear it. We aren't salty about an actual scout taking advantage of momentary lapse of concentration, we are salty about getting shot before you decloak, that's all. The simple solution the animation when you manually turn off the cloak is compulsory even when switching weapons. If you truly are a good scout me seeing you at 8m as opposed to 5m shouldn't make a difference to you. There is no need to remove cloaked dampening that just hurts everyone involved. Just make so you can't fire before you finish decloaking and everyone will be happy. Except the KDR chasers, but that is what we want to achieve. If thats not enough for you, I could instead suggest that we bring back the shooting under cloak penalty had originally proposed, but was denied because the community didn't want people shooting while only partially visible, Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.
