Do ultrasound sights have a range limit, or an "effective" range limit? I'd think there would at least be some TN penalties beyond a certain distance from a target, due to lag since the signals only go at the speed of sound. Since ultrasound requires goggles like smartlinks, does that mean it would be incompatible with magnification scopes? I know that it reduces the TN modifiers for ruthenium by half(M&M114), but how would it stack up against invis and imp invis?.

I don't understand that. Where else should ultrasound of the right frequency come from for the US device to pick up? The way I understand it, SR's Ultrasound is an active device: It emits soundwaves and interprets the echo, like radar. It could pick up sound from other sources,too, but IMO the US device would listen to a specific frequency to avoid interferences. |
