I hope the BA-portable BAP only works when you're crouched. Either that or give the BA the ability to completely disappear from any radar while crouched and not moving.
If you put ECM on the BA, then I'll quit playing.
The BA are hard enough to detect as it is, and seem to be able to dissapear from the radar even when standing almost on top of them. I'm talking within 50m range of a mech and still you cant see them on radar even with BAP and radar on.
Curious. Can you explain your thinking?
It seems almost like you are under the impression BAP increase the units own radar visibility (As in being more easily detectable by other units)?
/Merf - Not quite following...
Sounds like hes getting it mixed up with ecm. Bap increases the radar range of the unit carrying bap. It has no effect on other peoples ability to detect you. BA with ecm would be a nightmare and prob never gonna happen.
My thinking is thus: BA, in the right hands, is deadly as hell. Also, BA is virtually invisible to radar. If you're a dedicated BA, you're going to take the BAP because you can see other BA coming and therefore get the first shot...unless the enemy took the BAP as well. The other boosts, which look like fun and strategic options, would be rendered useless due to BA sniping. It would become criminally retarded to take anything other than the BAP due to the obvious MPPPC combo.
Picture the current swarms of BA, which are very well balanced. Now, add 250m to their radar range. Camping would become amazingly common, and the current BA vs BA duels at close range would become long range sniper duels.
As a BA player, I really don't want the BA action to slow down. Currently, it's exciting. If you expand the range and slow it down, it'll be less fun.
This is just my opinion, though. Maybe an always on MPBAP won't be so bad. I'm honestly more worried about it being too good.
