I wanted to upgrade my flash using radar. Is it worth? How does it work? Does it spot only moving targets? Must I be on board to make it work, or I just have to be in the surroundings?
It is a very nice upgrade. You see the enemy as dots on your minimap. You don't have to be on board, so you can park it and use it to detect enemies approaching.
Get it. It's terrific. It works just like the UAV in CoD and everyone on your team will love you for it. In response to your question: It's worth it. It reveals enemy "dots" on the minimap for all allies. It dots up stationary and moving targets. You do not need to be on board for it to work, you can just park it. Done, next!
You don't need to be on it, but you do need to be nearby (within its "spotting range"). I have level 3 (75m radius) along with Vehicle Stealth 1 so people tend to overlook it more easily and it's awesome.
just make sure you have c4 when you use it so you can "gently remind" your factions tank drivers that destroying someone else's mode of transportation for ***** and giggles can have repercussions.
You'll not regret. I also use 1lvl Stealth. I destroy every enemy Flash ASAP because it may be one with radar.
it's one of the visible upgrades. It appears as a small grey disk on the back of the flash. I have seen it on enemy flashes occasionally.
It looks like a black and white frisbee. It is the same one the Magrider and ESFs get. Prowlers, Vanguards, and Lightnings get the spinning NS radar.
It's great because you can drive the flash in some buildings. park it in a corner when defending said building.
If you want to be really sneaky, drive it up to the top floor of a building. No one checks up there but aircraft.
A fully upgraded flash tucked inside the interior hangar of an Amp Station can give you enough radar to cover almost all of the insides (just not the walls/corners). While abit useless in platoon vs platoon scenarios (there's enemies EVERYWHERE!) in squad vs squad or smaller is it incredible, especially for clearing out straggelers or infils. Be aware that it does not detect infiltraitors while they are cloaked.
or park it at the top of one of the lower stairways and time it so when the red blip comes around the corner he gets a full clip of M40 fury to the face.
Also makes a nice trap. Put some C4 on a flash, and then park it with Radar behind a corner. When someone rounds the corner, blow the C4.
only bad thing with using the flash the way we're saying.. the thing's 5 minute deconstruct timer can be a real pain if you're not literally right next to it. the heat of battle will sometimes distract you long enough to either forget about the quad or make you go out of your way to hop back on it to reset the timer.
I had no idea scout radar was on the flash. I'm using it now and it's amazingly useful. Lv 1 is useless and Lv 2 doesn't have much coverage with the tiny hud map size, but Lv 3 is where it shines. Lv 4 is an absolute must have goal for me now. Can it be 2x XP teim now plis?
