If you have a visual cloak, then how can you see with your naked eyes? You can't, so you'd have to use IR or another spectrum, which will be what the enemy can see you with. If you're completely invisible in one spectrum, you're also blind in it.
Tribunal said:Just because you had the visual cloak would not mean that your regular vision would be useless. First of all, since the cloak will (most likely) be operated via a power cell, they would have to conserve the cell for when they would need it. Next, I'm guessing that the covering material would have either a: a visor area where the eyes would be visible so they would not be totally dependant on therm goggles (what if their batteries died...), or b: fiberoptic cameras that would be next to impossible to detect and give them a heads up dispaly on the helmet of their visor.
Think of having therm vision only in an urban warfare setting -- you see various heat sources, no real discernable details, and all the like. Would they want to keep switching it on and off so they could make out the details of what was needed? It would be too much of a hassle, and with other options to give them full vision then it would be foolish of them not to.

I attempt to aim infront of them, but being a sniper is useless.Tyepo said:The last time I tried an online shooter thing was Mechwarrior 3, and I recall it being a circle fight with evidently another person on dialup that lasted some 10 minutes cause neither of us could hit eachother since neither of us was where we appeared to be. I finally said @#$%it and turned into him, rammed him, and blew off his leg. I havnt tried another shooter online since.
