If that turns out to be too powerful, it could be after a delay... like...
After a few seconds of being locked on to a target, you can see their weapon loadout, whether they have an XL engine or not (and it's rating), and their heat sink distribution (and what type of heat sinks they have, naturally).
After a few more seconds you can see where their ammo is being kept.
If need be, BAP could be restricted to certain mechs if this was too powerful... naturally having a C3 console or whatever should allow friendly mechs to share in any data you gather...
...
While we're at it, I'd like BAP to give us an "image enhancement" vision mode straight out of MechWarrior 2. That would help our framerates, be incredibly useful, enrage the "You are having fun the wrong way, I demand that your vision mode be taken away from you" crowd, AND be just plain awesome.

Given they gave so many non-canon abilities to the ECM system without changing it's tonnage/crit space, I see no reason BAP shouldn't get some extra buffs as well.
Enhanced Imaging is a Clan thing specifically by the way. I think it'd be overpowered, but everything about the Clans are overpowered anyway, so why not?

If they needed to balance things out somehow they could give BAP two modes... the "better" of which would give your position away to the enemy team...
Ordinarily I wouldn't suggest such things, but given how they handled ECM, I have no problem with giving BAP the power of Greyskull.

Also I want a little compartment with cyanide pills that I can pop whenever Alpine Peaks comes up.
I hate those first 4 minutes when you know you're going to lose based on how your team is moving (and whether or not they listen), but you are still locked into a game that is probably going to take at least an additional 10 minutes...

Also maybe make the crosshairs turn scarlet whenever they are over an enemy mech.

It's been suggested before, and I said yes then too.

Good idea.
You should add a poll.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Make BAP more OP than ECM? Who are you trying to compete against?
