I tried throwing some long range scanners on an LAV yesterday and drove around trying to scan for enemies. I never once picked one up. I even saw some dudes running around, drove near the building they were behind and scanned, didnt get them. There was also a tank near by that i didnt register, that ended up blowing me up.
I realize the range is limited. But is it even working at all? Or was it just a case of lack of range and percision making it pretty useless? |

Other scanning modules also work - I just have some concerns about module that extend scanning range, because I don't see any difference when I switch my suit on Supply Depot(objects around my on minimap doesn't change places when I swith between Heavy suit and Scout suit with scan range extenders on it).
Beside that, be aware that weapons, running, or crouch do not have impact on your signature size in this build. So regardless of whether you are using loudest weapon in this game, or the most salient one - you will blink as a red dot depends on your suit, skills that reduce your sig. and modules that doing it for you.
Actually at the beginning of this build I made a real Scout with all scouting stuff on lvl 3/4, and I was disappointed with the results. I think that Scouts need to have passive bonus that upgrade their scanning angle per level of Scaut Dropsuit skill. |

Im referring specifically to the high slot scanning "sonar". What do you mean it works, but does not inform me with red dot? If it isnt giving me a red dot, what exactly is it doing for me? |

If it isnt giving me a red dot, what exactly is it doing for me? It gives you red dot, but without telling you that it did give you red dot. That why you are asking yourself "is it working?". Yes, it is working, but it not inform you in some specific fancy way like 'beaping' or texting notification.. graphic etc. Like it should. |
