All sensors aren't =

Tobirama sensed Karin genetic heritage, Orochimaru genetic make up, and there is a difference between sensing the Kyuubi... and Sensing someone's distinct chakra.
Kyuubi chakra can be sensed by everyone as noted since every non sensor that has encountered naruto has sensed it when it comes out.
Obviously KCM Minato can sense where as non kcm minato (Living minato) can't... use common sense guys I know you have some
Lmao Living Minato can sense, he does it in Kakashi gaiden, when he points out the 20 dudes are all mostly all clones, you know when he pokes his finger in the ground, just like Tobirama can do.
Tobirama is tier 2.
If you're talking about the Kurama feat, that's not a feat as even Sasuke could pick up on that. Minato's single noteworthy feat still doesn't compare as Tobirama was able to determine exactly who they were when using the same technique.
Tobirama is tier two becuase his sensory abilities are very acute, he picked up the less noticeable Madara's chakra. pinpointed it's exact location, easily decodes chakra by lineage and is acute enough to work out that the composition of Oro's body.

Well before we knew of Tobirama being able to sense another genetic makeup or what clan they're from, we only knew he could sense using his finger which is what Minato also shown. We don't know exactly what it takes to learn to do it but if Tobirama does it while being a known sensor then shouldn't Minato be considered a sensor as well?
Also Tobirama and Hashirama should be on the same tier as the Uzumakis, they are Senjus and Senjus=/>Uzumakis. I added Hashirama because he has SM and 2 of the 4 SM shown Sensory abilities so it's possible that he might have a sensory ability as well but it's more speculation than fact. Jiraiya never showed to have Sensory ability but he was in incomplete SM and I think Kishi wantd to save things for Naruto to show case cause even the Toads didn't show it and Ma toad used her tongue to sense where Pain's Invisible lizard was. But Hashirama has a Perfect SM as Naruto and Kabuto so it is likely that he has it.

Of course they aren't all equal. They even use different sensing methods, and we've seen that non-sensor people can sense strong chakra as well, so this ability is something everyone possesses to some degree, but some are more sensitive from birth (presumably), some can probably learn it etc.
Say, we know that Karin's skill is unique, it even has a name, while sensitivity is apparently genetic in the Yamanaka clan. Naruto gained his sensing skills from SM/KCM/BM, Tobirama and Minato can use that finger on the ground thing while C uses hand seals to sense (unlike say Ao), which might imply that he learned it instead of being sensitive from birth.
Anyway, I think it makes sense for the Senju to have innate sensing abilities since they have the "body" of the Sage, and the Sage had Juubi which can also sense chakra (it showed it while in tree form). So it's pretty safe to assume that Sage was a sensor too. Uzumakis, well, they were too related to Senju (as per manga).
Otherwise it's hard to compare sensors. Which factors can be considered? Range? We haven't really seen most characters to use their sensing abilities to the max, so to say. Only Naruto and Karin's sensing abilities were actually shown in sufficient depth, I think. Ino has shown the ability to "lock on" targets, but we don't know how much of a feat it is. Ao was made head of the Sensor Division, so I guess he can be considered to be skilled enough for that. So... They aren't simply not equal, they are all quite different I'd say.
And also, sensing skills have been often used as plot device so sensors basically can do whatever is convenient for Kishi at any given moment. With all this I doubt it's possible to say what defines the "best" sensors (well, apart from SM/KCM/BM Naruto who can sense anyone anywhere plus negative emotions/hearts/whatever).

Unlike Kages Sasuke & team forced to feel Kyuubi's/Naruto's chakra but in case of Kages they are not aware of that untill Orochimaru's statement about Madara ...
Minato intentionally sensed Naruto's chakra didn't forced to feel it like team Sasuke, if it is true then Y only Tobirama and Minato are able to feel it...? y not Saru and Hashirama..?'
Minato even said that they are fighting together...Though it is not enough to prove that he is a sensor since haters won't accept it.....

Kakashi needs to be in tier 2. He warned KCM Naruto of an incoming attack by Obito before he (Naruto) even sensed it, and was alarmed when he did.
I agree with the above poster as well. Realistically speaking, with a sense of smell more than 100 fold times stronger than a human that includes chakra along with scent, there's nothing he's unable to sense.

Kabuto lost his sensing ability when Orochimaru took his cells away.
Minato is already added
True ill add kiba
