Aeon Amadi Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 6760	Posted - 2014.10.21 15:44:00 - [31] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: Cat Merc wrote: CCP Rattati wrote: Last weekend I spent roughly 10 million SP on optimizations on Gallente stuff and fully going Level 5 (from Level 2) on Dampening/Range and Precision.

The base range on the assault is really bad, so even heavies, despite having a huge signature, are practically invisible without direct LOS. Dampening to V will only hide you from basic scanners, which are quite rare on the battlefield. Precision won't help you without range. Thanks for nothing It's the truth though. The base range on the Assault is so small that it poses more problems than benefits. 1) You've likely seen anything within that range and if you haven't, they saw -you- and there's a reason they're behind you. 2) The only thing that will be within that range to begin with is CQC and if they're that close, it's already too late to do anything about it. 3) This is assuming you even see it as the icons will often be too close together for you to even notice something is there. 4) Obligatory mention of the 'not able to hear anything behind me' optimization that makes the base scan range useless all together. { \| bittervetmode = 0 I } == Description == This player has recovered morale [[Category: Hopeful]]

If they have dampening skills trained up, it will cancel out your precision skills. You can use your Assault radar to guess who will be the weakest link and knock them out fast. Most vets will have dampening 5. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG [CEO of Terror]

Thanks for nothing Wouldn't it be nice to have a much longer sensor range, but with the falloff mechanic that many modules have space-side? Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

Dampening lv 5 is enough for my min assault to hide from vehicle scanners No it's not. I believe you are correct. According to my numbers, a Min Assault (50 dB base, 45 dB with max skills) needs 1 complex damp (34 dB with max skills) to evade vehicle scanners (35 dB). Taurion, How did you arrive at your conclusion to the contrary?

Precision won't help you without range. of course it will help, even if you use an assault suit. not everybody uses a scout and every medium wont have dampening to 5, granted outside your eyes serve you better but indoors or when hacking stuff people can spawn on, you get a heads up all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others

Don't dampen...as with the 30% bonus from caldari scout operati0n V and dampening V you dont need to. I run precision with codebreakers to catch any sneaky scouts sneaking up on me on my radar are you new? KEQ diplomat/ intel /GC officer
