Engineers Dazzle Shell. What do?

As the title states.

We've been struggling to work out exactly what this does for quite some time now.

From the Wiki

"It is an experimental shells that temporarily reduce a targets sensor acuity upon impact."

Which means it reduces sensor range, making it harder to aquired Sensor lock at range. NPC's are not affected by this.

It does what it says, kinda like an inverted emissive attack.

It's borderline useless 1v1 because if you shoot someone they automatically resolve. Haven't done any controlled testing to if it reduces gimbal tracking arc, but I suspect it does.

Its definatly not that. We have tested extensively.

The only inkling that we have is that is might delay how quickly someone can reattain lock after a TLB strike or HS. IE: Prevents lock for an extra couple of seconds, but we arent sure.

Definatly not range though.

Did you test with turrets? See if they have problems acquiring the target? Sort of like chaff effect?
