afaik, line of sight and their chevrons have nothing to do with the scan mechanics. Barring odd behavior, if you see it in a main cone of vision, it lights up. (Like at the start of Manus Peak, if I'm running from A to C, I sweep my crosshairs along the ridgeline by the enemy MCC to see if there are snipers there and I need to move erratically.) |

I want to know is the line-of-sight spotting affected by scan profile/precision. It should be! If anything, the time taken to LOS spot someone should be proportional to scan precision/scan profile.
If by minimap you mean HUD radar, no, they're too far away.
If you mean the map from pressing down on the D-pad, yes, any one you pick up on scan or with line of sight has their position thrown on there for as long as you have that info.
As for the delay in seeing chevrons while scoped, I don't think it's a mechanic, just some feeble elderly hamsters in the system. |

The scan stuff is already in, the suit stats are there. You are already wearing the neon sign. Has is been a problem? Probably not. If you aren't using the module right now, you aren't going to have to after the update. (Anyways, profile analysis modules are probably the more useful sensor kit for heavies.)
The only reason you'd want to decrease a heavy's profile is so radar will have harder time spotting a cloaked heavy. And unless they add a racial heavy with an equipment slot, that's a non-concern. |
