A little off topic but they reduced the scan precision on logis to 45 and increased the scan range to 15. The assaults now have 50 also.

Nah. You can catch Medium frames who don't even profile bra but I wouldn't bother too much with running precision modules on a Heavy too much effort and room hogged for so little reward.

Take the easy way out, active scan.

Not off topic at all and the Logistics were always 5 under the Assaults for precision. I have Assaults run past me all the time when I'm in my Logi suit as I have dampening trained up. Some people rely on the TACNET way too much.

I was thinking that it would be viable to put another precision enhancer in there. Even if people are dual tanking there is some leeway for it.

To be honest, I don't think enough advantage is gained from using passive scans on heavy or medium suits if you aren't using the modules. If you're already a scout, then might as well try it on mediums/heavies, but if I were only a medium or heavy frame user, I wouldn't bother skilling the range/precision skills up in the hope that they gave me a passive "edge" over other people.

Now if you're using modules on a logi, you could make a fairly decent passive scan suit, but the scout does it much better with fewer slots for the modules.

If you were to use precision enhancers on a heavy, don't bother with the complex since anyone who dampens would be under 36dB anyway. You may as well use basic/militia, as that is precise enough to let you detect mediums or heavies that have up to Profile Dampening 5 but aren't using any modules. Scouts will evade you regardless.

32.72 dB with two enhancers. Kind of an odd fit for a Sentinel but could prove interesting for a solo heavy. I'm not going to make a career of running heavy but it wouldn't hurt to have a few fits to play around with.

O..I was actually talking about the logi suit with the range reduction and precision enhancement. Basically increased precision is only useful if you have that range. For a heavy I think it is still useful especially if you get caught alone.

Seems they did adjust Assault and Logistic profile and precision. It is currently 50/55 on Assault and 50/50 on Logistics going to 50/50 and 50/45. Same difference but down 5 points for both. Protofits.com doesn't have the updated medium frame numbers yet.

Looking at http://www.protofits.com and theory crafting fits I wondered if I could make a heavy that isn't totally blind on the battlefield. snip

Looks like profile skills won't be wasted on the heavy suits in 1.8.
