Beagle doesn't work against stealth Flea or Locust. Flea I couldn't target at all and Locus I could target but not lock on hitting 'R'.

If Beagle is useless against stealth and/or EMS please post so I know to remove it as a useless component. Have screenshot of the match.

No, it does not.

Beagle Active Probe is useless against Stealth Armor, but it has other uses:

• Able to counter the effects of 1 ECM within its radius
  
• Increases sensor range by 25%
  
• Increases information gathering rate by 25%
  
• Allows detection of shutdown 'Mechs within 120 meters for IS and 150 meters for Clan

By the way, what is "EMS"?


And if I might suggest something, the "Map Feedback" section is not the right place for posting questions about 'Mech equipment.

Greetings Ripply,

to add to martian's info, there's two ways to counter stealth:
1. A hit from any PPC-type weapon disables ECM for a few seconds which also deactivates stealth armour and sets it on a cooldown before it can be reactivated again.
2. TAG/NARC make the marked target lockable, but you need to stay outside of the 120m radius of their ECM to be able to lock onto enemies.
