Interesting.
First he wanted it to be removed …
… but then noticed it would shoot him in the foot.
He also realized that he’d still not be getting what he wants …
… so he wants it to be nerfed anyway.
OP’s kind of full of ■■■■?

What?
Don’t you ever build roadblocks for a holdup? (the real life equivalent of gate camping, I guess)
All these trucks contain tons of valuable loot!
There is something very wrong then, and not with cloak-mwd.
I have occasionally fallen foul of the several hundred ms ping but a full 10 seconds has only occurred when there is something seriously wrong with the internet. (Personally I blame the US infrastructure, not the submarine fibre to get there, but maybe the Aussie infrastructure is also suspect)
well we’re further away from the servers, I live about as far south as you can go (southern tasmania).
however, as advised in another thread I have turned off windows game mode to see if that will help.
Here you go.
That’s what I can come up with for improving your camps.
If you want to reduce delays as much as possible …
… play in fullscreen mode, interval zero, but that’s going to heat up your machine.
… get a display with Variable Refresh Rate and turn off “interval” in the game.
… lower gfx quality as much as meaningfully relevant. Use CTRL+F to see your fps. The closer to native Hz, the better.
… don’t have anything running in the background.
… overclock your display for higher hz, which means faster reaction time on your side. Yes, that’s really a thing. I’ve overclocked a 60Hz notebook display to 90Hz. It works, but it hurts image quality. There’s a tutorial for that, I can link it to you if you want to. This reduces the delay between the server and you, because you get to see the new data a tad earlier. Milliseconds matter!
… or go get a CRT, with pixel response times you simply won’t be getting on modern displays with the added benefit of massively superior image quality.
… If you play on a modern TV … then stop doing that, or at least remove all filters and options which supposedly “improve image quality”.
… get a PS/2 controller card and use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. No idea if there’s optical PS/2 mice, though. This reduces input lag by quite a bit. (https://superuser.com/questions/16893/do-usb-or-ps-2-keyboards-respond-faster) Additional bonus: PS/2 keyboards have no limits in the amount of keys pressed simultaneously (allowing you to light all eight smartbombs in a disco at once), while USB keyboards do (usually four keys max) … unless you pay the price.

So is the topic still the OP being unable to counter a basic tactic, or his bad internet now?
Might also try the recently introduced UI only mode as well.

hmm? I don’t understand what you are trying to say there.
I moved across the country for a job offer a few years ago and rented a truck and put everything I owned in it - save for my vehicles which I had transported - and spent the next 3 days driving 3000 miles from Washington to Florida.
Had I been “ganked” the irony of that would not have escaped me. Heck I probably would have said “it figures”.

And it requires a small degree of human skill. Improperly timed decycling of the cloak or MWD and you’re toast.

This Is 100% true. It can be easier to screw it up than pull it off properly. You have to have the right modules fitted, activate them in the right order, and even then, you aligned to something at the beginning so people have an idea of where you are. Industrials are too slow to align then change directions while cloaked, well piloted inties or drones will still decloak you. The whole point of the MWD/cloak trick is to do your aligning cloaked.
Also, if you’re too slow decloaking and warping off at the end of your MWD cycle, you’ll lose the speed from the MWD (it will bleed off) and it will have all been for nothing.
Have you considered how much CPU cloaking devices eat up? How about how much grid is consumed by a MWD? Looking at it this way, you’ll realize that there are significant fitting constraints when you equip these modules, and there should be.
Go buy a couple of T1 haulers and try to use the technique while your mates camp the gate and try to blap you, you’ll quickly realize that it’s not OP or foolproof.
Oh and how about this… 20-40 second reactivation delay for anything that’s not covert ops… oh wait, we already have that

Learn how to decloak.
