OOXOO
OOOOO

vs.

OOOOO
OXOOO

Your chance of being visible is 10 to 1 in this case. When the cloud cover is 5/10, you have, on the contrary, a 50% chance that both you and your enemy see a cloud at the same spot. Although you can never be sure that hiding in clouds works online, it might work with increasing chance as there are more clouds on the sky. Just a speculation.
Interesting suggestion, thanks.
