If i do not have to call hellfire no one bothers to look for me. If you think about it whenever you are looking for a UAV it is because you saw a hellfire come down. If it doesn't come down you don't think its up. The best part about the perk is that it doesn't beep like motion balls do when you are in their radius, thus the enemy can be hiding behind walls, buildings or all the way in the back of the base thinking they are safe and undetected but now you're team that looks at the map knows exactly where they all are and can make better decisions on where to make an assault or concentrate defense.

the motion sensor circle you see on your mini map.. i'm pretty sure it doesn't show up on anyone else's.
