DUST Search - Blind and Broke

Been really frustrated as of 1.8 with this constant getting killed when no one is around crap. Ignoring the cloaked scouts for now, what's the deal with walking up in a corner and a heavy suit being right there to blast your face. Why didn't my assault, or my scout, or my logistics or my commando suit pick up this heavy on the radar. What was the point of maxing out (lvl 5) all my passive scanning skills if they don't even save me from being blind to a heavy suit 10m around the corner?

What's the point of putting all those skill points into my character if they don't stop tanks or drop ships from being scanned.

I'm walking around completely blind most of the time. It's seriously frustrating because I would have never walked up that close to any of these suits/vehicles had I seen them on my radar. There is no way a tank/drop ship/heavy suit has a lower scan profile than my suit. And there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to have them scanned in a 360 degree.

If I'm not directly looking at them, then they are invisible. Something is wrong with this. Very wrong and it's seriously frustrating. I know many players are feeling the same way.

Yeah its broke as hell.Do you remember when the LOgi lAv's were runing people over by the thousands ? It wasnt the LAV or the fact that people were doing this that pissed me off.It was the fact that they're a vehicle and you dont see them on your RADAR.Im glad mentioned this because its broke in there own mechanics and has been for forever .Look at the DB of a vehicle and tell me that you have to be looking at the vehicle to have that show up on your radar makes any type of sense in "THEIR" mechanic.It doesnt and throws profile mechanics right out the window. Remember when Scanners first came out those scanned enemy units were revealed to the whole team ? They changed that .It also used to be that anyone on your team looking at a Tank would reveal the tank to everyone's radar.It doesnt work that way anymore.Only works for squad. IDKY Im glad you wrote this thread. Radar has been broken for so long I cant really remember which build we were in when I noticed it was broke. Probably when they shrunk its range down. Yeah Id say its its been broke since then. Fortune favors the Bold,but Success favors the Resolute Unbent,Unburdened, UNSTOPPABLE Amarr loyalist
