Above all else, I think this topic is important for snipers.

I think it can be important to everybody. Take all info away, and leave just the red chevron above their heads for everyone. If the opponent is within your Suits Scan Radius (which I think is a base of 15m) then you can see the other info, like name, and current Shield/Armor. It would give us a reason to skill into Profile Analysis, and whatever skill increases Scan Radius (can't remember it right now). It would definately make the people running as Scouts/Overwatch more effective, and needed, on the battlefield.

True.

For a while I wondered if skilling into Scan Precision and Scan Radius was worth it. I'd love to max those out, go on to one of my favorites perches, look out, and just see red chevrons pop up everywhere. That way if my squad mates need any other information, all they need to do is aim at the chevron that I am providing for them.

As it stands now, I don't know what the max radius and precision is. I can't see it being practical for me unless I'm able to scan 300m or more. Call me greedy. lol

This DOESN'T significantly affect the range at which you light enemies up when they're in your line of sight. It affects the range at which you light them up on your minimap when they AREN'T in your line of sight (either because they're behind cover or not in your field of view). Scan Precision affects whether you'll be able to light the enemy up at all when they're outside your crosshairs. If your Scan Precision matches the target's Scan Profile, or if it's lower, then you can see them. If they have a lower Profile than your Precision, they don't show up. Certain actions - like shooting - increase your Scan Profile and make you more visible to enemies (even when not in line of sight). At longer ranges, I think there's a form of falloff where either the target's profile is counted lower or your precision is counted higher, but the range doesn't - as far as I've seen from testing - seem to be related in any way to your Scan Radius. It MIGHT work from that range as a base, but a difference of 10m over a space of over 100 isn't as noticeable.
