Purpose- Circle the map and main objectives constantly cycling the scanner modules picking off or marking enemy Targets on your scanners.
Cycle the Nitrous Booster when passing enemy held emplacements, since you cannot take a punch like most well tanked Soma you're going to need to get in and out fast. Who says being quick is a bad thing......
Just tested it, my randoms were converging on all marked targets, I nailed two enemy tanks, and went 20/0.
Soma is King.
Amarr scab, learn to make your own tanks lol You sure you want that. I mean Ill be eating your tanks for breakfast.

Blues/squad do NOT see any targets painted by a vehicle scanner. Tested and Confirmed by CCP.
Tested for myself and I call bullshit. They don't give intel points. |

Blues/squad do NOT see any targets painted by a vehicle scanner. Tested and Confirmed by CCP. Then what's the point of it? For tank/LAV pilots to ping targets for themselves. Handy but not worth having now that I know I cannot help my team with it. Scanning with an Active on foot is so much fun simply because I know I am directly aiding my squad with some intel..... that's just one less role a tank can fulfil now.... back to the drawing board for me I guess.
But they do scan for squadmates, just like the infantry ones. They just give no points.... yet |

But they do scan for squadmates, just like the infantry ones. They just give no points.... yet We tested it, and neither squad-mates nor gunner were seeing the same mass of red-dots that the driver had on the radar. Also, asked Wolfman about it in IRC a while ago, who confirmed that intel from vehicle-scanners are not shared, but will be later on. Note 1: the test specifically included not having infantry too close to the LAV, to avoid contaminating tests with what the infantry could see. 1 test also included a second LAV, where the driver also did not see the same targets. Note 2: Looking at the market yesterday, all vehicle scanners showed a 45dB Scan Precision - all non-heavies with a profile dampener would be missed by vehicles, so do not rely 100% on it - carry a regular one as well. Disclaimer: Not tested in 1.5, but looking to patch-notes, I see no reason to expect it has changed. Feel free to make dedicated tests, and report back.
I did it just yesterday. It worked. Was in a squad of two with a heavy, so no other scanners. |
