Five Moves Ahead should not show auras of pallets and windows.
If this perk shows the auras of pallets and windows, what's the point of using Windows of opportunity if this perk is basically a better version of Windows of Opportunity? That makes no sense. I really think the aura reading part should be removed so that you not overshadow Windows of Opportunity.

Use it then? As I see it, Five Moves Ahead is more for experienced players who don’t rely on instantly 'lithing' away in chase and just blindly following the yellow road. It’s aimed more at people who can hold the Killer in one area of the map and have the ability to memorize the information they’re given, with a little reward for a weaker effect than Windows provides. In the end, the reward is so tiny that people will continue to use Windows anyway.

This perk show the auras of pallets and windows when you are in the killer terror radius or being chased, which is basically the only time you will need to see the pallets... It makes no sense using Windows if you have a perk that basically do the same thing and also has an additional good effect.

So what? It still has drawback and barely an upside:
- 1. It has a cooldown. Windows had a cooldown in the past and no one used it because of that. This was changed in patch 5.3.0, after which it became a meta staple.
- 2. It shows only five pallets/windows. Now, I don’t know if that means five pallets and windows combined or five pallets and five windows, but I bet it’s the former, which can be very limiting in many situations. For example, sitting on generators next to a TL wall plus another double window wall will basically give you no information. The two-story house on Badham, which has four windows and a pallet, is another example. It is very nice that it shows me what I already know.
- 3. The fact that it only activates while inside the terror radius or in chase is a drawback as well. There are stealth Killers and perks that grant undetectable, and even with the default terror radius, you still have to multitask to check both where the Killer is coming from and what resources you have. It is not infinite preparation time.
- 4. And of course, it is limited to the area you are in, so pre-shifting will provide no benefit when using this perk.

Honestly just have it only show pallets not windows so windows still has its niche and it'll be fine.

Better version? Windows are active all the game, this perk deactivates every time you drop pallet and the 50 % faster pallet drop is unnoticable as drop is already fast enough to waste perk slot on it. Firstly i though this might be fix to high ping killers, but now, you still get hit through pallets.

It can actually make a big difference against projectile killers, you can leave the animation faster and have time to evade the projectile. You can also gain more distance pre dropping pallets.

Nah, if the killer has ping 30 and less, then maybe. Which is 5 % of my games.

No, it is not. It is a bandaid fix to it, (lazy and incompetent BHVR, still not returning to this game until this is fully fixed) but does not address fully the issues.
