They work. The basic has an 80m detection radius when activated. What you might have got forge gunned by was someone not specifically into heavies that has Dropsuit Command and Scan Dampening high, and used a militia heavy suit and forge gun. Or, they might have just been outside its scan radius. |

Good testing. I may go try some myself to see what the story is. They work in LAVs grand. It might be while using them in dropships that they're broken. As far as I know they're working in HAVs too.
And I wouldn't discount the chance of someone having Dropsuit Command and Scan Dampening at those levels. A well spece'd scout at this stage should have them, and if they have any sense they would have a Militia forgegun fitting for the few times they're near a supply depot etc., and a enemy vehicle is close. |

Are you activating the scanner? I don't mean to give offense by the question, I just want to eliminate possibilities. |

Haha, yes, it appears that the radar effect is the only thing that works. I've only used it a few times when using a heavy and driving the LAV so I must have been lucky the first few times that a team member had over watch as I was driving around. It didn't work for me at all yesterday. Sitting in my LAV with the scanner active, tango 3m in front of me runs around the corner, and puff, he was gone off the radar. Another few spots in the mountains were hit or miss. It's hard to tell if some one was giving over watch or the scanner was kind of working. Either way it's not doing what it's suppose to be doing  |
