Hirogen enhanced battle armor Ability?

So using the special sight ability with this armor has anyone found anything interesting? Like some being or item only this suit can see? Or is it purely for finding cloaked Hirogen on New Rom?

    When you activate it, your Gamma setting on your monitor is set to max. Everything goes ultra white. You cant see what the hell you are pointing your weapon at, let alone find Waldo.

    It doesn't look bad on my screen.

    Well, I have used the silly thing maybe 3 times.

    If you are a Tac character, you have Target Optics, which does the same thing without changing the Gamma on your screen.

    My BoFFs also seem to have some built-in ability to see cloaked units, also reducing my need to use the Hunter's Sight ability.

    I guess you could use it during Boldly the Rode when you are going solo to see the Jem'hadar that are shrouded. Otherwise, it's actual use seems really limited. I got the armor to get my Expose chance over 50%. It also has some nice stats.

    Yeah, outside of Ground PVP to snoop out those pesky Stealth Module Tacs its special is really quite limited in use. The armor itself is actually very nice though.

    I dislike it's lack of regen effects, but yeah, it's other defensive attributes are nice.

    For PVP, Hirogen armor is like the Sword of Omens. It gives me "Sight Beyond Sight."

    For PVE, it does absolutely nothing.

    Darn I was hoping there would be some cool hidden treasure/easter egg kind of thing, but it doesnt seem like there is.
