-Battle Armor Radar is very weak compared to the normal suite, having a detection range of only 350m, but it also makes Battle armor much more difficult to detect on Radar. Battle Armor can only see other Battle Armor when they are within 150m of each other.

Battle Armor can only see other Battle Armor when they are within 150m of each other. Battle Armor can not be detected by VTOL and ASF Radars, they require a ground asset with C3 to detect and share the BA contact with them to be able to target them on Radar.
