(Part of a set of equipment ideas and proposals to help balance and expand EWAR.)
I propose a deployable TACNET jammer that completely disables active and passive scanning for all hostile suits within X meters radius (range increases with tier).
- The jammer will also create a barrier preventing an attacker's active scan readout done OUTSIDE of the field from being shared with their units WITHIN the field.
- These jammers will also prevent the enemy from spawning on (but will not destroy) any uplinks caught within their radius (as the uplinks will be cut off from TACNET). Disable the jammers to regain access to the uplinks.
- Red chevrons will only be present, when a target is in line-of-sight.
- This can permit a defending squad or team to set up jamming zones.
- The jammers can be destroyed just like any other piece of equipment.
- However, If a hostile unit finds and hacks the jammer, every other jammer within that jammer's range is hacked, and the jamming field will then work against the defending team instead.
- This effect can cascade, across all jammers no matter the range, so long as each jammer's radius is slightly overlapping. This will enable a "Chain Hack", which could potentially give large amounts of WP depending on the number of jammers that are linked, and number of uplinks blocked.
- Only one to be carried at a time.
Proposed jammer radii:
std TACNET Jammer - 35m
adv GIA-N7 TACNET Jammer - 70m
pro Duvolle TACNET Jammer - 105m
VS. Vehicles
- Vehicles that breach the perimeter of the jammer are immune to its effects. (e.g. a dropship with active CRU, will not have its CRU disabled within the jamming field.)
- Vehicle profiles cannot be hidden by the jammers.
- Vehicles can equip "Active Jammer" modules, with reduced radii. (Between 25-50m)
- Vehicles with "Active Jammer" modules, can be used to hack infantry jammer fields, remotely. So long as they are within range. :)

The intent is to completely neutralize scanning for all suits within a HOSTILE field. Active scanners will be dead within hostile fields. Active scanners can scan a field from the outside in, but their readouts cannot be shared with allies WITHIN the field. Once the field is friendly, passive and active scanning can resume as usual.
The radius on the jammers is plenty sufficient to reach whatever ones are placed on top of buildings. In turn, it's a simple matter of either hacking the jammer (remotely or otherwise) to cause a chain hack to all jammers within its range (thereby flipping the field friendly), destroying the jammer to create gaps in the field, breaching the field with a vehicle with active scan modules (since vehicles and their modules are immune to jammer fields), hacking the field using a vehicle with jammer modules, or dropping an OB on the field, and knocking out as many infantry and jammers/equipment as possible.
