Are Black Lotus ninjas even more invisible now?

Are Black Lotus ninjas even more invisible now?
Having played this mod in the 1.8 days, the Black Lotus ninjas were quite dangerous, especially early game. Yet I could spot them from about 8 or 10 squares.
Now, having started a 2.3 game, they just slaughter me, not giving even a single chance of spotting them. Often one of my agents is killed in the middle of the group, and no one notices the ninja, even after I run them all around the body. Did I miss something, and are those ninjas not even more difficult to spot than they used to be? If so, is there a way to help my troops spot them easier? Is there a research, a stat, or a tool which helps against them?

Nope, I haven't done anything to Black Lotus peeps in years. Must be bad luck.
By the way, their standard visibility is only 4 tiles, and it was the same since... I think since they started using the camouflage mechanics, many years ago.

Hm, it might be luck then, I'll keep going. I don't remember the exact distances, so I might have been wrong about the 8-10 tiles, yet it was definitely easier to counter them back then.

One possibility is that you were using some anti-camo unit, most likely the small drone.
