Science for glory!
Longbowmen upgrade amazingly in BNW (they keep super range) and also British spies are better than everyone else's, so I'd have a hell of a science edge.
Anyhow, fight me.

All you need to know is this:
A=-Çr^2
r is your radius of your circle which is your scan range. Then, you multiply the result by angle/360.
So, in the case of the creo flux, A = 90/360*-Ç*200^2
Off the top of my head that's probably about 31500 m2, but use a calculator and don't be lazy like me.
It's a pretty pointless stat though as I doubt anyone is really equating that into actual in game scenarios.
EDIT: This isn't even really algebra. I haven't got a clue how pleb tier 'Algebra 2' must be, but if you can't calculate the area of a circle I am glad I was educated in the UK.
You will be surprised how much you forget as you move on.
I have rarely needed to figure out the area of a slice of pie, while other much more relevant junk (and some lots less relevant junk aka Dustonomy) has since been crammed into my noggin.

Speaking as a programmer, it would be a simple matter of adding 2 lines of code.
To give you an example of roughly what it would look like:
current code:
turndelta=(current direction) - (read mouse direction)
current direction = current direction - turndelta
newcode:
turndelta=(current direction) - (read mouse direction)
if turndelta > (pickyourlimit here)
turndelta = pickyourlimithere
current direction = current direction - turndelta

Populist rubbish.
KB/M is nowhere near as effective as people think it is. For most purposes it's worse than a DS3.

Yes but on what difficulty?
The real way to play is Warlord, with only conquest and science victories enabled (either rule the world or GTFO).
And then select Ghengis Kahn, Monty and other nutcases to be your neighbors.
Personally I find Greece a good country to do this with.
Phalanx up and just "300" your defences while they waste their resources.
One time Monty attacked me. He had me out numbered in units 7:1.
But his horde got sloughtered climbing the hills south of Athens.
We'll bang, OK?

They... get reduced gold upkeep costs on ships. If you know how to manage an economy, that's hilariously bad as a bonus.
Meanwhile if you adopt naval tradition and rush a great lighthouse, you end up with ships of the line moving almost twice as fast as anything comparable and completely destroying all other naval units.
I have had a ship of the line (admittedly a very well trained one) take on three ironclads and win in PvP.
The Ottomans don't really get much in the way of sea power. Prize ships is neat on ironclads but that doesn't help you actually win the fight.

Is that in BNW, though?
The AI looks at the gold upkeep costs in BNW and decides 'oh hey let's spam these allegedly cheap units'. Also, they just build lots more ships in BNW. It's great.
You can take advantage of them on lower difficulties if they're really spamming ships by blitzing a couple of port cities, with ironclads if you have them. If you pick the right cities then you can force the AI over the unit supply cap and reduce their production across all their cities by up to 100%. The AI isn't smart enough to realise this, either.

It's stomp or be stomped out there, kid. When I was a newb, I faced two paths: 1. Roll over and take beating after beating, laugh it off and pretend not to care, or 2. Fight back, and eventually be the one doing the beating. It was obvious to me which path I would take.

Silly, silly design.
Irrelevant. The angle is only an animation displayed on the minimap. As someone who tried desperately to love the proxy scanner, I can assure you that it scanned people outside the displayed moving angle numerous times. People don't use the proxy scanner because it's awful compared to the other scanners available.
I'm starting to really like it myself !!! It's all about the submarine mode, and seeing what's relevant, while cloaked.

We were against a almost full proto Min assault team (Dreis was in there until halftime.) We had mainly STD with a few ADV and we redlined their team in about 5 minutes. Let us attempt to help Dries return to his NKs instead of shaming him.
It's probably worth mentioning that my high W/L doesn't come from MLT on the other team, but from my own teammates. In that particular match, I wasn't SL (which I am 97% of the time) because I had just left 3rd rock, and our squad wasn't even full. I was carrying everyone, and that's why I left. Ultimately, victory is determined by my squadmates, not my own actions. Even if I do well, it doesn't matter if I don't have a decent squad to back me up.

Hmmm ... that delay must be input-specific; I run scanners regularly and have never experienced a delay (DS3). I don't think that testing is needed; Arkena has confirmed that spin-scanning is still possible.

bullpucky. aint no reason whatsoever, other than "well the devs use KBD and they like having advantages" Populist rubbish. KB/M is nowhere near as effective as people think it is. For most purposes it's worse than a DS3.
I can confirm, the mouse/keyboard controls are complete garbage.. I started using them because I've played FPS for years on computer, but honestly, I find it very difficult to use with any rifle. This is why I Nova Knife / Flaylock.
Let me mythbust a little for you guys, here is the problem:
1. Your framerate decides your acceleration. As soon as there is a dip in framerate, your mouse starts going much further than it's supposed to. You start over compensating LIKE CRAZY.
2. Dust Hit Detection. We all know it's horrible, right? Aim assist helps remedy the situation by "fixing" shots via bribing the server. Mouse/Keyboard get no such bribe (unless you're using a DS3 emulator) and therefore suffer the full force of the hit detection tyranny.
Mouse and Keyboard controls are BAD. REALLY BAD.
Even so, there are advantages. I can turn around really quickly, also I can just hold shift to sprint, and don't have to reclick L3 everytime if I move to the left or to the right (this is a big deal with Nova Knifing). Any weapon that is "balanced" (sarcasm) around the fact that DOES NOT have aim assist on it becomes really strong. Sniper Rifle, Forge Gun, Flaylock, Mass Driver, these weapons really benefit from using m/kb, it's true. Just don't ask me to fire a combat rifle. You need to be PIXEL PERFECT to hit anything, and even then, blue flare everywhere.
I have figured out how to mitigate some of the jumpy acceleration, I could explain how to setup your mouse the way I have it if anyone is interested?
