Re: Thermal imaging
"My link on this subject is about laser , not about TI. I'm shore that "visual smoke or sandstorms can be penetrated by thermals to some extent", but not by lasers."
I apologize, I should have explained my self better. My point was, there are some special types of smoke that will block both the lasers AND the thermals (that is what I meant when I said "will block EVEN the thermals sights"), like the smoke grenades employed by the Shtora system for example. But these are non standard smoke. It was not very clear what was being discussed in that passage, if bispectral (which will block both) or visual.
"60% accuracy reducing for tank, having smoke hex on it's LOS is "a rather onerous feature to implement, if possible at all"? Taking into consideration the changes, made in 3.0 patch, I wouldn't say so."
It would require code changes, which are a pretty tricky things as the people working on it will tell you. We had to wait for years for basic things like barbed wire, vehicles being able to go in reverse and opfire control. Personally I have been waiting for HEAT in antipersonnel mode and guided artillery shells since...well 2002 if I recall correctly. So as I said it has to be an issue.
