Cloak bug

[Hidamari]

It's not a question of realism or RP reasons for this that and the other, its the question of whether or not a 700 million piece of kit in the mod works as intended.

was the equipment made a certain price by the admins or do people make the prices for cloaking devices? every device has a weakness of some kind, tbh this just balances it out.

if admins set the prices for these things, then they should be drastically reduced in cost to reflect their use. people saying they are completely useless are saying it for the wrong reasons.

a submarine captain approaches a convoy of ships, it is submerged and running quietly, on the surface all seems normal, the convoy has no idea the submarine is there and neither do the escort, and as such they are not searching for him.
sub captain decides to take out two of the transports. the escorts are now alerted to his presence, submerged or not, they will find him and they will sink him, does the captain then complain because being submerged did not help him escape because the enemy escorts had sonar?

if a combat unit is alerted to your presence, a cloak wouldn't and should never mean a get out of jail free card that is re-useable every time you get in a pinch. A cloak would be used for stealth only and infiltration only.
