Passive scans do not register/detect/recognize HAV/LAV/DS any differently than dropsuits.
So the onboard latent scanning equipment doesn't register the loudest, biggest moving chunks of metal at any greater distance that the fiber woven mesh which bears said equipment?
Thinking its counter intuitive that I can hear a DS/HAV from 100+ meters away. But my passive scanner (which operates on sound) cannot pick them up until they are ridiculously close.

That's... uhhhh... interesting reasoning. Care to explain further? |

When a tank gets inside your ten metre scan radius it shows up on your minimap, IIRC.
If so, working as intended.
Whether or not that's sensible or not is another matter entirely.

Im trying to be more sensitive to vehicle users when I type, and that is because of our talks back in the day. On that note, good to see you too Lorhak. Yeah, I realize that the hud doesn't show more than its supposed probably to minimize server load. It still doesn't make all that much sense that though we can hear the giant battle behemoth, our suit doesn't give us any indication until we are way too close.
My assumption that the passive scans operate on sound come not from the unit of measure, but more from the annoying honk which all vehicle scanners emit.

So within 10m, a tank light up like a Christmas tree. Doesn't matter how big the profile is. If the suit scan only reaches 10m, it will only show up within 10m. Period.

I don't know how exactly, but decibels (dB) aren't used only to describe the intensity of sound.

Wow, read the whole thread first, this has already been explained.
5 second search to find the wiki page describing everything you ever wanted to know about the decibel.
The decibel is used for a wide variety of measurements in science and engineering, most prominently in acoustics, electronics, and control theory.
Doesn't have to be sound based. Pretty sure it isn't in DUST. More likely electronic signal measurement.
You must learn honor, or you deserve to learn nothing at all.

You can hear a tank farther out than your passive scans will ever pick up. Learn the game and you'll notice every little thing makes a noise, it's just a matter of listening for it.

They do have a point, though, from a lore perspective- if our suit passive scanners are good enough to pick up other suits' energy signatures at short range, the energy signature of a heavy weapons platform with an active turret and heavy shielding should, lore-wise, be detectable from across the map.

However, you do have a point. Something so loud (electronically speaking) should show up farther out. We need a change to passive scans.
Perhaps have passive scan range be infinite, and have things detected based on their proximity to you. For instan e, a tank with 200dB would show up at 200m away. A stealthy scout with a profile of 25dB would only show up at 10m away. Range extenders increase the range at which things are spotted (a 50% range extender has tanks show up at 300m and scouts at 15m) while enhancers help things show up at all in the first place (if there profile is smaller than your precision, they will never show up passively)
