Cloaked units lose stealth the moment they fire or deal damage. This includes commander D-gun strikes. The reveal mechanic applies universally across all factions.

Any aggressive action breaks cloak. Firing weapons, using melee attacks, and deploying the commander D-gun all instantly reveal position. Planning cloak-based strategies requires understanding this timing constraint.
Cloak provides positioning advantage, not sustained invisibility. Use the cloak window to approach undetected, strike hard, then either eliminate the threat or retreat before their response arrives.
