Title: BAP and CAP Sensor Range Error
Description: The CAP and BAP only provide 0.25% sensor range increase as opposed to 25% or 0.25.
Location: Everywhere
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Equip Bap or CAP
2. launch in private lobby against an ECM mech
3. approach and note detection range



Doing some testing today revealed to me that you have made a decimal error on the Active probes.

Their sensor range increase is not 25% nor 0.25

it is in fact 0.25% which is just about nothing...

I believe this is an un-intentional error as having a value increase of 0.25% is pointless.

against an ECM mechs 200M detection limit it is 0.5m increased lockon room...
At the normal 800m detection range it is a bonus of 2 meters... a joke in other words.

the TC/7 gives 7.5% which equals out to 15 meters vs ECM and 60 meters at normal detection range.
The sensor range module gives a full 50 meter bonus against an ECM mech.
the active probe, the premier sensor booster, gives 1/100th the bonus of a weightless module.


please fix, Active probes are an integral part of electronic warfare, and currently it does not work as intended.

tested in game or testing grounds?

[Poptimus Rhyme Wallace]

in private lobby, mix of different targetting computers with and without active probes, with and without sensor module and with active probe and TC mounted in different arms for ingame elimination and change confirmation.

takes about 10-15 minutes to test and confirm if you got two players with premium time and excell.

*edited to clarify:

it takes 10-15 minutes to run all the combinations, however the only irregularity found after testing all sensor enhancers is with the Active Probes.
It takes 2 minutes literally, just run at an ecm mech while you have BAP/CAP and wonder as you dont pick him up untill you hit 200m-
