Gallente have a pointless precision bonus, but still good at dampening.
Caldari will be more OP than now, with range(bonus), scan precision (slot layout), dampening (bonus) and fast regen (natural).
Amarr will be a overall good scout suit with a great precision (bonus), range and dampening (slot layout) or HP.
Minmatar is always the worst on EW side and on HP side, the only good thing is stamina regen.
All the scout, except min, are extremely unbalanced vs other tiers (maybe not with heavies, only because they are unmbalanced too)
Gallente needed the precision bonus to offset their reduced high slots. Same goes for Cal with Dampening.
Caldari (and for that matter Amarr) will not be able to scan a maxed dampened scout regardless of race anymore (considering as it stands only Gal scouts can beat them).
Agree on Amarr.
For Minmatar, my biggest problem was not being able to beat scans, particularly with Caldari. With this update, I will be able to. Plus, you are forgetting the Nova Knife buffs, which will not be insignificant.
The imbalance, if there is any, will be due to the weaker Assault suits. I hope the buff they are getting proves to be enough, otherwise, I think the scouts will be in a better place barring anything unforeseen.

In other games people use wallhacks to see people through the walls, the ability to see will always be better than the ability to not be seen.
But in Dust is very easy, just fit a couple of modules or an active scanner and "et voil+á le jeux sont fait", you can see the enemy team and so your squad.
I still think that none of the scout should have bonus on EW.
To be sincere i don't like the entire scan mechanic, the fact that i can sneak behind someone but he can see me on his radar, the fact that a tank does not appear on your radar even if you hear it and it's 20 meters behind you, if you use a heavy.
I agree about the current scanning mechanic being crap. Until such time as shared scanning can be removed, this is a step in the right direction.
Bojo might be right about the shields, but I am seeing more people with fluxes, and scouts ambushing caldari with a flux and a few shots should keep them in check. They could still be a problem, but I think Delta is going to see more adjustments, and that Charlie will at least be a better build than what we currently have.
