The difference between 4% and 12% is 8%, not 300%. Upgrading your enhancements won't make that big of a difference, you won't be 3 times as powerful. The improvement with enhancements is more noticeable when you upgrade to SO enhancements or higher level inventions.
And to answer your question, no, the game doesn't check how good your enhancements are.
If I recall correctly, the game doesn't scale damage the same way from levels 1-10, as it does from 11-50, so you feel more powerful at the lower levels than you will in your teens.

Damage actually doesn't settle down to its final progression until 20, so unless you're a Blaster, Scrapper, Stalker, or VEAT your damage increase per level is declining while mob HP gain per level is increasing. And in I13 (or was it 12?) they introduced a so-called "beginner's luck" (I don't think it's ever been officially named) that applies the same system to to-hit, so you need more slotted accuracy as you level to maintain the status quo.|

The mid-teens-to-22 area just sucks.

Going from 104% performance to 112% is an improvement of under 8%. A common guideline is that we are unable to perceive a change of less than 10% in pretty much anything (in the absence of some external 'yardstick').

Hello everybody,
Because, am running a new toon and just hit level 12.
At lvl 11 was running radio's solo and was fully slotted with lvl 10 TO's. Trained to lvl 12 and reslotted with lvl 15 DO's.
The TO's were giving me approx 4% enhancement and the lvl 15 DO's about 12%.
But, and this is really subjective, I do not feel three times more powerful and am still taking what seems like the same time and number of hits to defeat the foes.
Same toon, same diff, same zone, same radio's, with only the slotting different. I am aware that foes scale to toon lvl in instanced missions and I thought that this upgrade to enhancers is probably the most marked change. I expected to feel "Uber" for at least a level but apart from a slight decrease in end usage I don't feel that strong.
Does the game look at what sort of enhancements are slotted and scale up foes to compensate?
Just curious and thanks for any responses.
Cheers
