That doesn't make any sense.
Leo2s for example have a view of 40. In real life they can see and kill at far great range. That doesn't mean that the 40 view range in the game is too little.
And if your issue is that it uses radar, so do all helicopters. In fact Hellfires shouldn't even be able to lose track of the target while in air, but we all know that this is not how they work.

I am sorry, but in game terms there is no way any land vehicle, especially this short and without protracted radar mast to be able to see 50% more than modern equipped MBTs, or even gunships.
You want its missile to have a six km range? Fine with me, but having that short carrier ability to detect through bad conditions etc more than any tank, helicopter, is silly IMO.
The range of the missile is irrelevant, my problem is with the view range of the vehicle and I have seen nothing to propose it has equipment which can detect targets at 50% more than anything else on a battlefield under bad or not conditions.

Actually not. Only the most modern ones and they too have 60 as per game covention for high end radar systems. See unit 340 in OOB 44 or unit 123 in USA OOB.

As I recall, it depends on the model.

It does not outrange all gunships, only the non radar fitted ones. And it does outrange TI tanks but that is is realistic. Thermal sights and radars have different features.

1) Again, it does not outrange all helicopters.
2) The pop up radar sensor isn't probably all that much lower than a lot of tanks' gunner sights (Leopard 2A4 comes to mind), and radar horizon is generally greater than visual one due to propagation characteristics.

And as a matter of fact it does not. Plenty of helos with same range

Note also also there are a lot of vehicles with range of 50 such as unit 206 in the Ukraine OOB, unit 272 in Russia or unit 558 in the USA, to represent less capable radar systems. All of these can see further than TI equipped MBTs in the game.
