Having a low profile and not being seen?
or
Having a low precision (totally counter-intuitive, but that's a good thing) and seeing others?
For whichever you think is most important, are there any conditions that would cause you to change your mind? Is one always better than the other?
It's completely to your play style, there is no wrong or right answer. I just want opinions other than my own.
EDIT: To clarify my position.
As your suit is lighter, it's more important to stay hidden.
As your suit is heavier, it's more important to see targets.
The edit is wrong FYI
Its is far more important to see them then they see you.
So you miss one or two Scouts, it's not gonna matter.
See the enemy, avoid tanks.

Okay, so there's really only two suits who can run a stealth build. Gal scout and Amarr scout.
There 2-4 layout is perfect. So you have a few gal scouts running around, not the biggest deal in the world. Seeing 95% of the rest of their team via scanning helps you win. I know, it's not perfect, but there's only two suits who can play the stealth game effectively and Amarr is really set up to be a crazy light infranty therefore its more important to scan and be aware then it is to hide in most cases.
Can a scout cloak toss RE and kill you and go 17/2 sure. Is it gonna happen every match, hell no. Players will learn that scanning will outweigh stealth and that the Cal Scout and Gal Logi will be the most desirable squad-mates.
I run solo and i dont scan, I've been in teams who had run a serious scanner and its a massive advantage to see 95% of the foes vs the 1-2 guys you can't see. Check your binds, it might be more difficult with cloaks but being visually aware is more important than the piece of **** UD we have.. But who can argue with the benefits of scanning teammates, nothing but love for them.
I expect more elite squads to use the Cal then Gal scout, while more advanced players to favor Gal scouts. the ability of a scanning x2 squad to run over a match is greater than if it were to run stealth based team. |
