They can’t find you due to you being cloaked (and not being stupid enough to stay in one place) so you’ll be constantly repositioning if they attempt to look for you. Sure you may not be able to fire when cloaked and you have a large cool down before you’re able to fire once out of the cloak, but since you can just disappear at will, you can just disengage from any situation, whenever you want to.
