"You have been scanned" "You have scanned" All the time.

I tried the advance for myself and it's a joke. It's OP and kills any tactics. Flanking is dead, now everyone knows where everyone else is at now. Why don't we just remove all covers from the map and shoot at each other in the open and whoever has the most HP/DPS wins.

The only way to counter that scanner I think it's to play a scout with dampener. Everyone else is doomed to stay forever on the enemy scan.

Either nerf the scanner to 2 seconds max (just to get a glimpse of the enemy is enough not this BS scanner)

or remove it entirely and put back team shared vision.

As it only shares the results with your squad, its not OP unless you're in a full squad. Even so, it provides amazing tactical awareness.

I could of sworn it provides details with the whole team, as I recall some matches where no one in my squad ran scanner yet we still saw the flashes.

I have eletronics 5, dampening 5, range 5, and precision 3. But I dont use modules because my role is to assault.

Then don't try to solo objectives. Yeah, your job is to assault, but that doesn't mean you can walk anywhere with impunity.. ESPECIALLY if they know where you are. Stick with your squad, move cover to cover, and be ready for the enemy. Get your own scanners. Find out where they are. Send scouts and suits with low profiles to flank.

Yeah you are right that scanning has kinda killed flanking for Medium and Heavy frames. But it has given the light frame a purpose that it has sorely needed for awhile.

... Even if I'm playing with a squad. Defending Squad scans Attacking squad, Attacking squad scans defending squad. And now everyone (defender and assaulters) knows EXACTLY where every individual is. It's silly ...

Scouts with dampeners will still shine with team shared vision.

My gripe is the scanner that lasts for 16 seconds (havent checked the prototypes) when the effect runs out u just renew it.

I would be fine if it lasted 16 seconds but had a 30+ seconds cooldown. This way you have to time well your scans because there is a brief moment where your squad is blind and thats the time to attack.

But this ways is know where your enemy is 100% of the time.

At least the attacking squad would have at 15 seconds to surprise the defenders. Think of it as a surprise attack where the defenders struggle at the beginning until their scans fires again.

If you are a medium frame and have level 5 profile dampening, the normal scanners won't pick you up. If you are a shield tanker you can probably afford to use any spare low slots for further profile dampening against higher tier scanners. If you are a heavy frame you're don't have much of a chance to hide from scanners. If you are a scout, well congratulations - you have your first advantage!
