There is a chance that CanDATS was upgraded to Gen 3, but I do not have any concrete proof.
even if it does i doubt gaijin would give it to the ADATS
or it would take 2 years atleast to do so
They have an arbitrary Gen 1+ category of thermal that is allowed for helicopters. The AH-64 has the same optics as ADATS but higher zoom and resolution.
tbh id love for ADATS to have gen 2 thermal, accurate or not it should be close

Why is there no option to switch to TV tracking? I’m tired of being able to SEE enemy planes and not being able to lock.
TV tracking in game is just worse IR tracking, it seems to be the same code just with lower sensitivity. That is why.
It already has TV/IR tracking; there would be no change.
That wont change anything. The fact you can see something does not mean you can track it. ADATS has a hard limit of 10km as of now, so changing to TV will do nothing. Better, TV has much worse lock ranges compared to IR, meaning changing it from IR to TV would be a nerf.
There are a few weather conditions where IRST does not work AT ALL. I’d still like the option (we are talking sub 10km) I just checked replay and the aircraft was 4 miles
yeah ADATS lock is just abysmal, cant lock any munnitions properly

In real life, is there a reason to use TV over IR?
probably some niche atmospheric condition were TV will be able to track buy IR wont
I just want the ADATS to get a full belt of APFSDS, especially since it got the ammo count massively decreased for the gun. A mixed belt of APDS doesn’t work well at top tier. With it having a short range compared to other top tier AA, it makes sense to let it at least be deadlier at close ranges.
it cant really do that tho
it was design to fire normal ap round and apds but since the high fire rate apds is the best case scenarios here
they should expand the capacity of it tho
No capability to use darts? Not saying you are wrong, but why is that?
actually the irst itself can track in bad weather condition
there was a test in saudi arabia where it was in a middle of a sandstorm, the ADATS eliminated its target without much hassle
i think it has something to do with high velocity or the way the propellant affect it
because the adats 25mm is a modified version so it got some changes
the m242 on the adats was modified to have high fire rate so im guessing its something to do with that

I have seen people say it can’t use the belts bit no documentation has been provided to prove that is the case.
so is document that prove it can either
im all for it but gaijin wont if we dont have proof
The cannon itself is an modified M242. No where is it stated that cause it shoots faster that it can’t take certain munition.
APFSDS was cleared for the M242 cannon.
