I'd also like it if we could see the actual armor units (180/180) that people have, because I'd really like to be able to focus my healing on armor tankers, and it would be great if there was a way to tell if someone was an armor tanker.

[SUGGESTION] Logibros would like to be able to easily see allied armor status - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1211660#post1211660

The Logistics dropsuit is outfitted with the latest in diagnostic technology, to help the wearer maintain the condition and efficiency of squad-mates and their equipment.

A soldier in a logistics dropsuit can greatly improve the overall effectiveness of his group, and fills a vital tactical role in small-unit operations and full-scale warfare by providing both medical and mechanical support.

Removing the ability of the Logistic/Logibro from being able to see the condition of his squadmates who are in close proximity (25m) is contrary to the stated 'mission' of the Logistics suit.

As a Logibro I support this thread. However, I'm also moving it to Feedback/Requests.

Any news on this?

Keep in mind I made this thread a week ago. I'm bumping this because apparently it didn't get enough attention when we didn't have the problem in 1.3. Apparently I was right.

With 1.4 I have no complaints. I actually see some great unexpected changes (Scrambler Rifle buff FTW), but I am worried about how easy it will be for me to see the health of allies.

As of right now, it still takes some effort to aim at my teammates when they are far away...and even then, I can't easily tell who is in need of help and who isnt.

I fully agree with the removal of friendly player icons from the sides of the screen, but how will this affect my ability to quickly address a situation? will I still be able to see friendlies' health when they are nearby? Or will my best bet be to find a random squad?

I tend to work alone these days...and I don't just support my squad members even if I am in a squad.
__________________________

I could be totally wrong here so excuse me if I have read the patch notes wrong...but this could be a big downside for me as a logi.

Maybe the solution would be some more icons to represent a player that is below a certain % of armor who needs reps, similar to the icon for a downed player?

It's on the Feedback board under this link:

Logibros have the training to use the logistics suit to monitor the flow of battle and provide support where it is needed. If you're not trained in the art of using a logistics suit, or aren't using a 'Neo' suit, then I could see not being able to track the medical or mechanical needs of your team.

But right now, "my suit doesn't work right." I would like to believe that it is a 'programming malfunction' from the manufacturer that has injected the issue. It appears as though they have removed the 'latest in diagnostics technology' and put it on par with a standard Assault/Heavy/Scout suit.

My repper isn't giving the statistics tracking feedback like standard weapons, I activate it and it isn't providing the information. Which means they broke both my logistics suit and my repper.

Help me to better support my squad and team.

Yep I'll add my bit to this one, I cannot see at a glance who needs reps and who doesn't this is surely a must.

How can this be right I mean I haven't played PC battles yet but comms were chaotic enough before the new patch now you've basically blindfolded the logi theres gonna be even more clutter.

there's no point in giving me a rep tool with no idea who to rep, thats like giving the rest of the squad guns and making the enemy invisible.

CCP without logis people will see their aurum gear disappear and stop spending on it, hitting you in the pocket so come on turn on the bars for rep tool carriers you know it makes sense. It can't be that hard.

With the ability to hit much more often and much more accurately (and now with more magnetism) the difference between dead clone and unrecoverable clone is very slim.

I've removed the stick from most of my logi suits (Minmatar means I've got less eHP despite slightly more speed so trying to get to the rare downed but not destroyed ally is practically impossible) and I use my suits configured with scanners instead.

I suggest increasing the buffer between down and destroyed so that there is more temptation to use a stick, which will cause me to die a lot trying to revive my allies.

But that is what LogiBros are for.

Its an interesting change to be certain,my only concern I like knowing where the blueberries are on the team, I dont want to go into an objective without support, sometimes mey friends are not online and I dont want to be running solointo trouble soknowing a smurf or 2 are around helps me
