The big thing about introducing vehicle cloaks will probably be forcing them to be on a specific black ops variant. So say, your black ops derpship can fit a cloak, but it's weaker in other respects.

cloaked hav's cant shoot... so yes I wouldn't mind... but a cloaked lav with remotes on its hood certainly can kill and would keep tankers looking over their shoulder

sure cloaked HAV's cant shoot but they can hide from your cloaked LAV and when they sit posted up and see a sparkling mass about the size of a LAV *boom, boom* a good HAV can track you and pop you still in two shots and you never saw it coming...

however i do support your cloak idea. i want one on my tank and drop ship now.

I don't think its fair with how powerful tanks are that they are able to shoot me before I make impact so I am requesting LAV cloaks to make this weapon king of the hill vs tanks. this game makes me sad....

I also agree that in dust and some other games cloaks are used as a crutch, but that's only because they aren't implemented correctly, personally I think if your gonna use a cloak there should be a big sacrifice for such a definitive advantage, such as lower ehp (like your a one shot kill) slower movement, or limited fitting capabilities, or maybe all of the above....it certainly shouldn't help you be a slayer, but it should provide, for those skilled in its use, a significant advantage for the cloaked mercs team. cloaked vehicles would be great imo, but again to use the cloak should mean sacrificing something else in exchange for the advantages that come with the cloak, such as much lower ehp, lower dmg, lower speed, something like this to such a significant degree that the cloak becomes a death sentence to people who don't understand how to make use of its advantages. that's my 2 cents...thankyou Celesta Aungm for such a thoughtful post. this game makes me sad....

If you can't kill a HAV with a FG, you just suck...... I could say the same thing... if you have to kill infantry with a tank you just suck.... also what if a player doesn't have sp in forges? are you saying everyone must skill in forges? kinda ruins the idea of dust if we must all be the same thing eh? 1/10 for troll... high score for you... this game makes me sad....
