Tolen Rosas Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 322	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:08:00 - [1] - Quote If scan profile means anything in this game tanks (especially) moving LAVS and dropships should be static on the minimap within 50M unless cloaked or something. these are huge, noticeable and loud vehicles and their inability to hide is one of their drawbacks.
Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2159	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:10:00 - [2] - Quote Their scan profiles should be pretty large and detectable by anyone. "I do agree with you there though. shudders" -Arkena Wyrnspire
Prius Vecht Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 261	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:12:00 - [3] - Quote Every time a tank sneaks up on someone a puppy dies. If I had one ISK for every time I saw mercs scrambling away from me before I give up and say "There's a tank right behind me isn't there?"
Kushmir Nadian Valor Coalition 390	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:15:00 - [4] - Quote +1 Come now, CCP. This needs fixing. Replication Veteran. I support Tech De Ra for CPM.
Takahiro Kashuken Red Star. EoN. 2415	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:31:00 - [5] - Quote Cloaking Intelligence is OP
dullrust Subsonic Synthesis RISE of LEGION 41	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:32:00 - [6] - Quote Yep highly it is illogical. No vehicle should be able to "sneak" anywhere. Unless at least two of these factors are in place. 1) vehicle makes no more noise than that of a running dropsuit. 2) it has some kind of cloak and/or damp field. 3) the vehicle nor any part on it is moving. but that is just my opinion. I am nobody.
Knight Solitaire Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 87	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:33:00 - [7] - Quote Place RE on Tank. Enjoy having a perma-scan on that one tank as long as that RE stays alive. Zatara scammed me out of all my ISK. He is too mean. Please someone feel sorry for me and send me ISK.

Vrain Matari Mikramurka Shock Troop Minmatar Republic 1540	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:36:00 - [9] - Quote Minimap lag is my pet theory. Also vehicles should be detectable at ranges far outside the passive scan range for suits. I support SP rollover.

Maybe so, but until it does work, we should be finding ways around it, instead of sitting around getting owned by them because we couldn't see them. Zatara scammed me out of all my ISK.

I've been on this bandwagon for a while.
Thumb Green Titans of Phoenix Legacy Rising 720	Posted - 2014.02.07 17:46:00 - [20] - Quote The kicker is when you can even see them on the fcking overhead map because nobody on your team has a line of sight on it. You'll be sitting there watching it and then poof it's gone; then a couple seconds later poof there it is again. Wtf is wrong with what ever is providing real-time aerial footage that it can't see something physically unless some guy on the ground is looking at it? Support Orbital Spawns

Seriously, invisible HAVs on the overview map is so damn annoying. I check the map, okay no HAVs for now, nothing to worry about. Leave my spawn five seconds later and I'm greeted by three enemy Rail Guns. *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*

I mean as others have implied, if you can pinpoint the sound of a scout at 15m away, there is no way you should be able to overlook at fkn tank or dropship as loud as their engines/thrusters would be. That's the equivalent of not being able to see where a Russian gunship is that's less than 100m away ,while it pelts you with 8 miniguns and 4 rocket launchers.

Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1525	Posted - 2014.02.07 20:52:00 - [29] - Quote The problem is that they follow the same rules as infantry. i.e. you have only a 10m scan radius. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters. Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!
Reiki Jubo Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 364	Posted - 2014.02.07 21:02:00 - [30] - Quote no OP, no tank, dropship or moving LAV should ever leave your minimap if within 70-80m.
