Currently I have optimizations and internals that boost radar distance, I just want to know what the default distance is in meters. I used the search feature.

Looking at HawkenMechs.ini I can find d_RadarDistance=500, which I think is the default radar distance (in whatever units). I also found radar items in HawkenAttachments.ini, but that just gives a value of 3000.

Way too small, 20m is half the influence ring in MA/AA silos. Last I remember it's close to 60m.

There is no set distance that the radar detects at. The way it currently works is that various enemy actions will show up on radar at varying distances depending on what they are doing. I'll make up some numbers to illustrate since I'm not sure what the real numbers are. Standing still gives no signature at any distance. Walk/running revels you at 10m. Boosting reveals you at 20-30m. Firing reveals you at 40-60m. Again, just guesstimates. There are optimizations that decrease the distances that these actions are detectable and also ones that increase the distance you can detect them. Hope this is helpful.

walking doesnt reveal you at all.
Might try to test some of this later with clanmates.
