Day 26 - Ah, My Blood Pressure...
Extract:
I absolutely lost my sh!t when my entire squad and the rest of my team backed out of a Skirm vs AddictPunk and some other guys from The Last H0pe. I went 0/5, but at least I had the balls to stay till the end. My rage couldn't be put into words. I swear, I was thiiiiiiiis close to biomassing.

My regular pub fits are at 24DB, and I rarely experience problems. 20DB is sufficient to beat Gal Logi non-Focused scans, should they arise (which isn't as often as you'd think).

Hmmm ...
The inner rings of Assaults (6m) and Logis (8m) without precision enhancers just so happen to be 20dB, so you're guaranteed to blip on squad TacNet every time you backstab or shotgun a MedFrame. If you aren't knifing or shotgunning, you needn't worry about these inner rings, but I imagine you're carrying that knife for reason.
That said, when I run MinScout, I run it for fun, and I personally prefer speed over damps. I find that in casual matches, I can get away with it. If the opposition turns serious, I ditch the MinScout altogether and go straight to double-damped GalScout. Also, I seldom start a match at optimal dB, and I try to get away with as high a profile (and as much speed) as possible.
Shoot scout with yes.

Regarding Chrome scouts, a favourite tactic of mine whilst playing my beloved type-II was to strafe people's clips down to nothing and then move in straight and kill them. Good times.
You can't really do that now, with insta-switches and aim assist.

I mis-spoke, I meant if I settle for 20 db I can improve some equipment.
But if un-precision modded inner rings are 20, then I will stick to 18. May I humbly ruquest a link to the ewar table with all the possibilities? I am curious what demograph I will be invisible to at 18. I thank you in advance, sir.

EWAR link is always at the very top of the front page :-) PS: I suspect that most of the better Assaults and Logis are running a precision enhancer. Your MinScout can't beat these inner rings, even if you run straight damps. At the end of the day, I suspect you'd do just as well running 3x KinCats as you would 3x Damps.
Yup. I rely on speed to get to my target before they have a chance to react. The beauty of the knives are you can pretty much disengage as soon as you slice em, then come back for more if you didn't do the job. Minja w/ Ishnoks FTW :-p |

I dunno. They would likely have a perfect cut through the helmet. But I would melt em down anyway - too heavy to carry around as trophies. |

You can't really do that now, with insta-switches and aim assist. Yep, it was pretty broken. I remember the first time I saw it. Some dude with a shotgun named "M^rauder" was zig-zagging his way through bullets from a rifleman standing right in front of him. Nothing but open air between him and the shooter, but there he was alive-and-well. Newbro as I was, I just stood there and watched in amazement. The rifleman eventually ran out of ammo; M^rauder blasted him.
It blew my mind ... seldom saw shotgunner successfully rush an enemy head-on in CoD.

It's a work in progress, I haven't field tested the suit yet. Time will tell what I end up preferring. Still on a high from having 3 lows from now on... what a breath of fresh air.

Hey guys, I'm planning on a featuring a guide on the fundamentals of Scanning this week on the Biomassed.net blog.
Would anyone be willing to sit down on Skype with me in the next day or two and go over some of the details with me so the guide can be as accurate as possible?

If you're looking for values, the Scan Table on Page 1 is up-to-date. Protofits is also up-to-date and accurate (confirmed a couple weeks ago).
There a few "rules" which aren't readily outlined ...
* Profile and Precision values are rounded to nearest whole number * Ties go to the scanner * Passives Scans remain up while incapacitated * Passive Scans are shared squad-wide
Anything else, guys?

Awesome! Lots of stuff I didn't know. Learn something every day! Plus I like playing Commando so.....scanning is not something I really think about since everything can see me and I can't see much.

Also of note regarding scans.
If you are in a suit, and get pinged. Swapping to a suit with a lower scan profile still leaves you pinged.
But it seems like the ping wears off faster. I don't know if this is due to certain scanners or not. |

Vehicle scans? That's been changed somewhat recently. And the complex vehicle scanner gets down as low as 28dB I believe. Some tanker input would be good I guess - not sure if vehicle scanners are a big deal for them, but I was surprised to see them as low as 28dB.

I believe that's at an 80m radius too |
