Well Throwing out cloak in garbage as scout is not that hard of a choise as it is useless in AvH it only helps in HVH.

Every good scout player plays with a cloak for a reason.
I've held chokes next to xeno hives as scout before and I never use the cloak. I exchange it for an AP loaded M41A with HEDPs as a backup weapon. AP bursts and UGL grenades are more than enough firepower and DPS to suppress and break contact with xenos if you unload on them up close. I also put a normal helmet which prevents meta target quite effectively. I find that to be a bigger advantage than 10 seconds of batman cloak which I don't really see the use of.
This way I get both the benefits of the armor's protection and speed while looking like a regular marine and the badass M4RA that effectively removes any xeno in a 15-tile range.
Similar thing can also be done with the Pyro spec.
Scout Cloak has its uses, more so to roleplay a Helldiver but I digress.
Nonetheless the cloak is a MASSIVE kill me sign when fighting xenos and I prefer to avoid those.
it depends on your loadout though,
I play scout with a cloak, M41 and the M4RA
Rotating between the M41 & M4RA is super easy with the E hotbind.
Cloak can save your life and help you take one, depends on the situation and circumstances.
Also,
you dislike being targeted but you wear donor gear?
Really makes you think.
I said I prefer avoiding having obvious Spec tells on me.
Besides, I got to flex my donor status somehow.
And? You using cloak for?
Cloaks look cool. Good enough reason to me!
Use the cloak to cloak, duh
Sometimes you can do some epic solo flanks on resting beans, that's what you use it for.
For it's intended purpose.
