I think the same argument could be made for snipers who spot targets which is a similar job to using an active scanner. It would be a great idea to see some war points for these activities.

My idea is to get a bonus of 5-10 WP per kill of a enemy that you highlighted either within the window of target visibility or within 5 seconds after visibility ends.

As with triage/guardian points there should be a cooldown of points after say 50 wp gained to maintain parity.

There is a problem with awarding WP per kill of scanned enemies. Imagine an ambush game where the majority of both teams are duking it out at a relatively open area, then you could just stand back behind your team mates scanning in front of you, making potentially allot of points but not necessarily making a good contribution because your team already knows the enemy is in front of them.

I'd suggest awarding X amount of WP for target you revealed to the TacNet radar that have not been visible to it for Y amount of time. There is however a problem with that, for example if you scan in a direction and get nothing, still a valuable intell but no rewards.

I don't agree with you on the triage/guardian WP thing. It's fine as is, if anything I'd like to see less cooldown

I think you misunderstood my comment about triage/guardian points. Those were merely meant as an example of the game mechanic not a request to lower their cooldown threshold.

It should break down and operate like this

+5 for each redberry picked up (revealing locations should be important, this allow allows the team to avoid enemies too)

+5 for each redberry killed after a scan (someone made use of it)

Then some timer restrictions on points applies to this mechanic, similar to how armor repair tool has on it.

This would make the Active Scanner on par with other equipment.

I support this as I do want to focus on the active scanner.

For snipers it wouldn't be that hard to mix a secondary fire mode through their scope that essentially put down a frago on a marked enemy infantry/vehicle. They wouldn't be able to shoot in this mode but have them press down on the d-pad or something. Only target one enemy at a time so it isn't abused and they get the WP if a friendly or they kill/destroy that enemy.

Every other equipment item has methods of earning direct WP (nanohives-triage, resupply; injectors-revives; reppers-triage, guardian; remote explosives-kills, uplinks-team spawn) however, with active scanners you have to be able to scan then hope you can find and kill those enemies you ping in the 2ish seconds that they are active on your minimap and still only gain kill war points. (seperate bug about scan duration there)

If you play as an EWAR support position you should be able to earn WP in proportion to your contribution. My idea is to get a bonus of 5-10 WP per kill of a enemy that you highlighted either within the window of target visibility or within 5 seconds after visibility ends. As with triage/guardian points there should be a cooldown of points after say 50 wp gained to maintain parity.

One final argument, for your team, support by EWAR (specifically active scanner) can make or break an enemy encounter. This usefullness should be reflected in your WP as your contribution towards the team as a whole and not just through your team standings.
