Hello Mobhack.
Is there a limitation to Thermal imaging?
For instance will there be a properties change to smoke that is very high in temperature. Say a flamethrower cloud or partially combusted fuel?
Is there any artificial defense to thermal imaging?
For instance aircraft use chaff to break a lock from a SAM or similar weapon system.

Andy's away for a few days but I can answer this. No, there are no modifiers that alter Thermal imaging in the game. You cannot drop fifteen napalm strikes along your front line to prevent the other side from seeing though. The scale of the game assumes you will find a way to see though

As Don says - the game uses a simple "over 40 is thermal imaging". TI is "magic" and has no real limitations (e.g. desert days with limited heat differentials, obscuration by foliage, thermal bloom from flares and fires and so on).

Cheers
Andy
