 I'm sure right now we just back to the early 1.8

I'm sure right now we just back to the early 1.8 The delay he's talking about does work as intended as it does take longer to uncloak than before (they want uncloaking to be a more gradual thing and later there should be more of a transition going in the animation other than invisible/visible). Which makes firing while cloaked worse because people can get more shots off before being uncloaked.
1.9 PATCH NOTES
Another potent combination is the Cloak Field and Alpha damage weapons. We will be adding a put-down-delay to the Cloak Field (all equipment will be able to be given a delay, but the Cloak will be the only one for now), meaning it will be impossible to fire a weapon immediately from the cloaked state.
I believe the underline statement supported to be his intended.
The way they implement is really bad, Cloaker stay 100% fully cloak during the put-down-delay. Moreover the put-down-delay create a lot of awkward movement depend on your weapon.
And even they set the decloak animation back to 0 to fix "shots off before being uncloaked", cloaker still be able to fire a weapon immediately from the cloaked state because the uncloak activate after put-down-delay.
BTW, try to swap out variance weapons when cloak during fast movement. You will notice awkward reaction and the difference pull-up time for each weapon.
To be fair, they should add put-up-delay to all weapons and equipments, not the put-down-delay or only some equipment.
