Pretty much this.
I just this past match wrecked the same scout that kept trying to approach me (cloaked) from my flank or from in front of me like a moron.
When he got behind me, he was able to kill me. And he would have been able to, anyway. Without the cloak. Cloak is fine. Let's fix the cloak bug that allows you to stay cloaked first, and then see how it plays out. After that I may possibly be in favor of an extremely slight shotgun nerf at lower levels...because Militia geared scouts should not be 1-2 shotting proto heavies.

I routinely wreck proto heavies with a MLT Minmatar Light Suit, MLT Shotgun, MLT KinCat & CardReg, with a R-9 Drop Uplink and a MLT Submachine Gun as my Sidearm.
That is NOT OK.

Problem is it's hard to hear when you're not the one decloaking, even when the person is right next to you.
Yep.
I can recall 1 (one) time since 1.8 dropped that I have heard the de-cloaking sound effect and it clued me into the fact that a scout was right there. And I've hunted more than my share of scouts thus far.

A .5s delay would be better
Cloaks were never intended to be a OHK offensive tool, chiefly because they weren't needed for it...a quality scout has always been able infiltrate enemy territory and lay waste to the enemy from the inside without the cloak. It was meant to be a tool to make stealth tactical relocation easier. I'm certain I recall a dev saying something along those lines but I'm at work between clients and haven't the time to dredge up the specific post.
