The percision on these things seemed very high and almost not useful. What is the advantage of using a 46 percision scanning tool when my light suit starts with passive scanning with a lower percision and awesome range?

...I assume the alert you receive after a scan is in anticipation of jamming modules or perhaps interference from Flux or EMP distortion.

If I visualize an enemy, does his red dot blip on other's maps or only through scanner use?

If you visually see an enemy so that their red dot appears on your map, it is uploaded to the tacnet and the rest of your team will see that red dot on their map as well. This makes the Over-Watch sniperGÇÖs role more important than before because they can paint targets with their scope.

I spent a few matches yesterday dodging serious gunfire and playing with the scanners. What I derived from said testing was, there is a maximum range(noted in descriptions) and different scanners behave differently in regards to a few things...

A) Scan Angle: The width of the scan radius (The standard scans 60 degrees, the flux 30)
B) Scan Duration: The amount of time before the scan completes ( 2 sec for standard, 1 for flux)
C) Target visibility duration: The amount of time the scan stays registered on allied radar (5 sec for standard, 8 for flux)
D) Scan precision: Adheres to the same principle as dropsuit scan precision.

I was getting pretty accurate readings in skirmishes with only the Lvl. 1 scanners and no points in precision module skills. The only difference I noted was the flux has a tighter scan field with a bit more range (50m) than the standard, which has double the angle making for a broader scan at closer range. I was mainly scanning to see if I would get some sort of "spotter" bonus (IE: BF series) for any kills or hacks made while my scan was active, which I didn't. I also didn't notice any changes in scanning whether targets were above or below me, and I assume the alert you receive after a scan is in anticipation of jamming modules or perhaps interference from Flux or EMP distortion. Overall a quirky and fun, sometimes useful tool that used properly could help maneuvering into heavily fortified encampment at a loss of WP. Also, I don't think there is any indication of actually "Being scanned" so enemies are not aware that they have been IR painted for a short time.

hmmm, i might have misread. I thought the light suit had 10+M?

Also, does my own scan percision have any impact on the scanner? If not, it seems too easy to slip under it, even through passive skills.

But some notable scanners to look is the advanced and proto Quantum scanners as thier reveal time is extremely long which will help greatly for maneuvering and use in combat scenarios. And if I remember right the proto Flux has a 200m range with still a 60 deg angle.

I would like to see the cooldowns in the stats though.

.

the flux I believe to be between 30-45 seconds but I did not actually time it be it is a bit longer then others.

I will try and time the scanners and put down what I see.

a-19 stable-7 second
a-45 quantum-10 second
a-86- 7 second
basic- 7second
creodron- 7 seconds
creodron flux- 24 seconds
credron proximity -3 second
duvolle focused -30 second
duvolle quantum- 14 seconds
basic flux- 8 seconds

all are plus 1 or minus 1 but close to true values.
if i missed any non- aur ones tell me

How do these stack up when compared to vehicle mounted active scanners?
