Current scan range will be effectively halved in 1.10.
What scouts can currently detect at 20 meters, they will be able to detect at 10 meters in 1.10. While scan range will extend to 20 meters, the precision has been nerfed between 10 - 20 meters.
Excerpts from http://dust514.com/news/blog/2014/12/uprising-1.10-overview-patch-notes/
Scan Precision:
- Light Frames:
Scout: Close/Medium/Far = 20/40/52
Scan Range:
- Light Frames:
Scout: Close/Medium/Far = 4/10/20

Currently, by default, a scout has a scan precision of 40db out to 20 meters.
After 1.10, by default, a scout has a scan precision of 40db between 5-10 meters.
This is another nerf that severely reduces the effectiveness of a lonewolf player.

If you don't understand why it's a big deal, then don't worry about it.

I specced into everything and play all roles.
It's just another way that soloists are being nerfed nerfed nerfed from every angle.
Yes, people claim it is a team game. Yes, I squad up regularly.
I experience extreme technical difficulties when I activate voice such as frame rate drop and lag, which makes playing in a squad a mere social experience. If I want better frame rates, higher performance, and a significantly more enjoyable gaming experience then I am forced to play solo without voice.
Squad members continue to share TACNET info about passively scanned hostiles, while soloists now deal with 1/2 the range that was previously available at the 40db precision level.

I guess Ratatti plays a logi.

While I did not know that, I was sarcastically implying that logis are being supercharged in 1.10.

Stated in the OP in not so many words.
Varoth Drac wrote:Yes it's a scout nerf, but not as bad as halving range.
What could once be detected out to 20 m can now be detected out to 10 m. That effectively halves range of 40db precision, stated in OP.

Agreed, I have played an ewar scout fitting without shield/armor tanking for a long while. I use all of my slots for ewar and the problem is that precision has always been much weaker than dampening. Now that range has been halved at the 40db precision level, we will see 25% of the information (pi*R^2) that was once available at the 40db level which nerfs ewar to a nearly unusable amount, especially for scout vs scout ewar.

Sorry, not sorry.
Always such a sarcastic commenter who apparently doesn't do calculations. It takes a full complement of complex precision enhancers to get any remotely useful information out of TACNET. It takes nearly a full complement of range amps to detect scouts at a useful distance, since many slayer scouts are kincat tanked and running viziam or carthums which have a much greater range than TACNET anyway.
Due to network communication time, quick scouts can travel deep into your TACNET radius before the radar screen updates on your client, often times too late. 10 or 15 meter range is nowhere near enough of a warning for incoming slayers.

That's the big problem. Scout vs scout. A precision tanked scout will now have 25% of the area coverage (at the modified 40db level) that they once had. This is bad for shotty hunters, but good for scout slayers.

Scout Vs Scout EWAR is no longer useful for survival.
Just use your eyes now.
