You arrive at an objective and there is a cloaked scout-shotty waiting in the corner. How do you propose to see him with your eyes?
Cloakheads aren't always running in front of you where you can see them shimmer. Most of the time, they are cloaked waiting or running up behind you. The only counter would be that EVERYWHERE you go, you must CAREFULLY survey the area for your crosshairs to turn red. Hopefully, your back doesn't turn from them or they don't just pop you with the shotgun before they decloak if you happen to walk right in front of them.
I understand cloaks are here to stay....but remove the dampening bonus, remove the decloaking animation when changing your weapon, and you should decloak or be at maximum shimmer when you take damage.
This week, I will make sure that I post some video and commentary of when cloak scouts are ridiculous.

so tell me what you do when you are aware there are cloaked scouts on the field. When approaching an objective or room...do you stop and survey the entire area with your crosshair? You would have to do it before leaving and entering any area.

Because while standing still, THERE'S STILL A FAINT SHIMMER. Cloaked players AREN'T completely invisible, and better yet, YOUR CROSSHAIRS STILL LIGHT UP WHEN YOU AIM AT THEM, just in case you miss the obvious player outline. If they're hiding "around the corner" then you do what you already had to do for uncloaked and dampened Scouts, and LOOK AROUND THE CORNER IN CASE THERE'S A HIDDEN SCOUT.

Hopefully, your back doesn't turn from them or they don't just pop you with the shotgun before they decloak if you happen to walk right in front of them. Or, you know, be COMPETENT and quickly pan across an area a little above ground level while watching for the crosshairs to turn red. You can accurately cover over 50m in less than a second if you're armed with any Rifle or pistol, or even the MagSec. The SMG is a little short of that range, and if you're running a Shotgun you need to be more alert to see cloakers in the distance. .
I am going to record and post a video of how ridiculous and impractical it is to play a game scanning and looking for my crosshairs to turn red every time I leave and enter an area......or to look for "faint shimmers". My job for the entire game will be looking for these faint shimmers or cloaked scout clues instead of playing objectives.

The way they actually function in game due to bugs makes them overpowered. One such bug was demonstrated in Judge's video in case 4.
When several cloak users on the forums claim that these bugs don't exist and that cloaks are perfectly fine, I can't help but think that they've turned cloaks into their crutch. After all, they are insisting that their toy which is broken in a manner that favors them isn't broken. -_-
As for the whole scouts brick tanking, that's another issue I cover in the link below.
The way ARs, CRs, were intended to work was fine also.
