The main thing to do with a clocky should be sneaking up on snipers and shooting them in the back (you can do that nicely with a scrambler pistol) or hacking stuff behind enemy lines.
I dont want to see cloacked snipers or the ninjas with nova knifes who appear right behind you. If someone sneaks up on a heavy with a scrambler pistol, he should be dead. If he gets behind a sniper, the sniper should be dead. If it is a standard suit with a machine gun, the better one wins.
The value of a cloacky should be in breaking ambushes (if some snipers cover a narrow path, it can be hard to get through, even if you bring a lot of soldiers) or infiltration (hacking a CRU behind enemy lines, where reinforcements can be spawned).
I can even imagine cloackies to plant mines directly onto a tank (like it was done in WW2). You have to get very close, so the risk of beeing crushed is high. If you manage to stay out of harms way, you can plant your mine and win.
Your Ideas are dumb i'm sorry bro... if you let yourself get sneaked up on its your own fault not having situtional Awareness, myself i always look around for 360 security, so no one get the jump on me, cloaks should be like a Ghille Suit, undetectable when used by skilled operators, also there should be any heat source for a Cloak thats non-sense, before they even put something like that into production for combat operations, they would make sure there wasn't any heat source, it would use the same tech as a F-117 " NightHawk" they there engines are not detectable, as well as it's radar signal, while the F-117 can't go Cloaking like what we are Talking About, its still the same concept. ALSO is you mean Sneaking on a Heavy with a Scrambler pistol, that heavy should be dead, Decking a heavy in the brains with two shots screw any heavy up down to no armor almost, getting the Drop on someone is the Idea that they won't expect it giving you a clear Advantage, its How Bounding OVER WATCH... Real Combat is Fought ,its all out Flaking the enemy from a position that offers you cover, but leaves the enemy exposed... Hell.. i killed two Heavys with one Clip of Scrambler pistol
Now that Said I believe the Cloaks should require alot of Skill, the Skill itself should take Awhile to Acquire it... However it should lower you combat effectiveness, when engaged it should Lower Your Movement Speed to Half, and should only be able to be used when Crouched, and should be Activated upon crouching, it should require alot of PG, rather than CPU because it should be more a Drain on the PowerGrid, not the CPU USAGE, if they gave it High CPU usage you couldn't use a Sniper Rifle with it, which would be the number one usage for it, Nova Knifes should actually get a Bonuses when your cloaked and sneak on someone, Sneaking itself Takes Practice, patience, and Knowledge... if you get Dropped on its your own Fault " Keep Your EYEs PEELED" and it won't happen.
Also The Cloak should be Only Equipable to Scout Suits, mainly because " its Designed for Steath" any other suits no... because all the other Suits are Bulky, and just don't make any sense.
ANYWAY I'd Love to See Cloaks
