You got it. Been my message all along! I feel these guys gave me a really thorough test of Veil, in fact, its most through ever!. First time coming up against these awesome new lasers, too.
Keep in mind, my metallic silver 5 series is like a worst case scenario so the reductions were limited by that primarily. More reasonable cars would have done better. Treating other areas with Veil beyond the lights made significant improvements beyond the 1200-1300 range when only the lights were treated.
Those who use 3M wraps on front treated with Veil should see significant further reductions.
The one 2300' Stalker run looks way out of place. That feels like something else was picked up (ie; scatter reflection or the one FOG that wasn't coated? Was a speed noted? Did it happen after that one reading?). CM at ~600 looks right, but our HL shots should have always been better than CM and the earlier Stalker models have been some of our best guns, even on that vehicle.
One a car like this with those kinds of colors against these guns that I saw yesterday I would want to use actives in combinations. I was pleased, however, that Veil was indeed effective against these lastest ECCM guns that the LIs proven ineffective against. As I have always maintained a defense-in-depth approach will always be the best approach even with vehicles that have two or three heads in front. Clearly no one CM was perfect.
However, from what I saw with my own two eyes, the ALP is without question was the new kid to beat! Its' performance (while not perfect) decimated all (other) comers. OK, OK. I have yet to see a K40 actually do much of anything in my years of attending these sorts of events and good luck finding anything about them on SML's site as they seem to always have something in the works that is not "ready" for testing.
Didn't see an HP- 905, either. That's going on the vehicle along side the ALPs. I don't see much of a reason at this point to even install LIs. DALAs are just next door now in DE and MD, so what would be the point? And the older jammers/shifters are coming off the car. Too many NAs from them. Their time has come and gone.
Valentine 1, as always did an exceptional job. The Whistler did very well and a new Cobra, I am testing, bested the Max in laser detection.
Very impressive and very well conducted test! I learned a lot from you guys! These guys deliver the goods and thanks for showing the results for exactly what they were! It also proved the extreme importance of perfectly aligning the jamming heads during your install and making sure they stay that way, should be routinely checked!
Tom, of BRD, it was great finally meeting you after all of these years! Nice ride, BTW. Your black sedan is definitely more stealth than my metallic silver. Maybe YC's right. Not sure of a Delorean though. I think a Cayman R (non-metallic black or dark ruby red) is more my speed (or maybe a Rapide/QuattroPorte).
Great job everyone and look forward to meeting up again!
I would love to see a motorcycle at one of these events. Should be a great candidate for Veiling.
