Hey, I just wanted some help figuring out what bonus I'd get from using one Complex precision enhancer. I'm not sure what the base scan fedelity of a med-frame is, but I want to know If it makes sense to use them.
If you do answer (which I'd be very grateful), please take into account that people have to put on one enhanced and one basic dampener (or one complex) to beat scans. If the bonus and the module won't beat that, then there's no point in using them.
Thanks again.

I guess I wasn't very clear.
I want to know what I will be able to see (What is my scan fidelity) with one Complex Precision enhancer on.
However, I thought it was important to take the Active scanner situation into account. can already see people without dampening mods, and the people who are trying to avoid the active scanner will be wearing a basic and enhanced dampener or a proto one.
If, with a complex precision enhancer, my scan fidelity does not scan targets with 36DB then there is no point in running one at all. Nobody runs just one enhanced dampener. I just wanted someone to help verify the math for it,

Because scanners use a pre determined precision based on their type, it's not related to your precision in the same way dampeners are.
This is what I'd like to know. Can you explain the second part of that again, please?

So no you will not scan somebody who can hide from advanced scanners. Then again most people do not stealth so a complex enhancer will pick up about 90% of all suits including scouts. Your biggest enemy is the scan range since default is about 10 meters or right in your face minimap wise. Use a scanner it's a lot better.
If all of the math checks out (Which I think it does), then I should be able to work like an advanced scanner. Based on this post, in a tie between a scanner (passive or otherwise) and dropsuit dampening, the tie goes to the scanner. So if I can get my scan fidelity down to 36DB, it would work out.
Just a confirmation: What is the base scanning ability of an assault suit?

Whoops. Must've have missed that. Sorry about that, and thanks a lot.

Thanks for all of the help guys.
So as I understand it, an Assault suit with one complex Precision Enhancer will have a fidelity of 40 (because DUST rounds up, always). A logi would have a scan fidelity of 36.
So, is there actually a point in even putting a precision enhancer on? I want to make my advanced suit more useful (I don't use proto gear in pubs/FW), but it doesn't look like I'll be getting any more information than I'm already getting. Am I wrong about that?

That's pretty powerful... hmm Assault suit would be 55 x those numbers so it would be 39.6
That's what I was thinking when I looked at the skill. I was willing to trade a high slot for that. But it seems like only Logis and scouts can do it
