Active scanners need to become active. No more of this snapshot nonsense: have it have a charge like the cloak that depletes as the user scans. Makes the Logi actually vulnerable, since they don't have a gun out, and makes it somewhat more rewarding as you could pinpoint enemies for your squad.

Similarly, there are other balances that people have suggested dozens of times:
The scanner is also highlighted by those they have scanned
The scanner has a equip delay (like the cloak)
Reduce the angle, so they can't scan huge swathes of the field
...and so on.

Everything should be scannable with even basic scanners. The acquisition times however should be lowered and duration extended for higher end gear. Interesting dynamic and based on real life experiences (and I'm leaving it at that)

It's a high-tech future war universe. Why dumb it down?

This is EWAR. Good tactical behaviour still usurps the benefits that EWAR provides while allowing conditions where if good tactical behaviour isn't used good EWAR will tip the scales against you, while not guaranteeing the EWAR sides' success. They are short term, temporary scans. Its not a deathray unless you don't heed the warning you get telling you you've been scanned and change your behaviour.


I'd love to get a warning that told me I was being aimed at.

So, you're saying the EWAR/Scanning system is perfectly fine as it is?


If not, please let us know how you like to see it changed.

Still a problem.

200M Tri scanning gal logi's are OP.

Duration should.greatly be reduced to balance the 200M scans.

Nerf duration to 3 seconds.

The long range scans would then be equally accurate, but would provide more of a 'snapshot' of enemy positions at the time of the scan.

Short range scans would be for long durations, as the reward should reflect the risk of getting that much closer to the enemy
