@Hartsy1 The fact you want people banned for bug reporting and supporting bug reporters is honestly disgusting.
This is what I sent to Flogger BTW:
I’m nearly sure they would do it the Pantsir way
So corners for not locked target and nearly full for locked one.

I hope so

Or they can just not add TWS to search radars, you know, Gaijin way.
I prefer that it stays that way. Because USSR shouldn’t have the most strongest tanks.
Umm, what?
Wat
It is for IR Air to ground missiles though
Found more info, ADATS uses the same optics as the Apache A, so it should get GEN 2 thermals
Also has a IR missile localizer so can lock incoming missiles
@Gunjob sorry to drag you into this again but found 2 more sources that are worth looking at. See post #1 for screenshot of pdf and the third source

The early Apaches (and a bunch of other early helicopters) should all have gen 1 thermals actually, that’s why the ADATS only has gen 1. However for helicopters specificallly, developers have decided to upgrade all gen 1s to gen 2 at least for gameplay reasons. This is at least the answer you’ll find in past bug reports about this and other similar reports.
This is embarrassing, what’s the issue?
Well according to the post (which you probabaly should read :P) that ADATS should be able to lock targets with its radar as well as its IRT (and not just the infrared track), the missiles should have a higher G-Load, and more. Those are the notable ones.
All i can say is, you are misinterpreting so many things…
Additional info:
Description
The ADATS consists of a 360 traversable turret fitted with a surveillance
radar, 8-1 2 nm wavelength forward looking infra-red (FLIR) and TV trackers,
a Nd:YAG laser rangefinder and a carbon dioxide (CO2 ) missile guidance
laser. Four missile launcher-containers are carried either side of the turret.
Two control consoles, one for the radar operator and the other for the
electro-optics (gunner) operator are placed inside the carrier vehicle.
Airborne targets are detected by a fully coherent l/J-band pulse Doppler
frequency-agile dual-beam SHORAR surveillance and acquisition radar
supplied by Contraves Italiana, the antenna of which rotates seo 1
and is
capable of detecting targets from very low levels up to 6000 m altitude at
ranges of over 24 km. An integrated IFF set is associated with the radar
which is also capable of displaying track information on up to 10 prioritised
targets on the radar operator’s PPI display. Output of the FLIR and/or TV
sensor systems appears on the display which is operated by the electro-
optics operator. Once a target is designated as hostile by the radar operator
the turret is automatically slewed round to its bearing and a search is
initiated to bring it into the field-of-view of the FLIR (5.4 x 7.2° wide field-of-
view, 2 x 2.6° narrow field-of-view) or TV camera (2.4 x 3.2° wide field-of-
view, 0.5 x 0.7- narrow field-of-view) which are installed in a bin on the front
of the turret. The electro-optics operator then selects either the FLIR or TV
for tracking depending on the light level and prevailing weather conditions.
The selected sensor then locks-on’ to the target and begins automatic
tracking. The range is measured either by the NdYAG laser rangefinder or
is provided by the track-while-scan facility of the surveillance radar to
ensure that the target is within engagement range. A missile is then
launched and guided by a 10.6 jim wavelength coded pulse COs laser to
the target.
The Mach 3 plus smokeless propellant missile itself is 2.057 m long.
0.152 m in diameter and weighs 51.4 kg. The dual purpose warhead carried
weighs 12.5 kg with the casing providing a fragmentation effect against
aircraft The missile warhead can penetrate around 1 00 cm of steel armour.
The minimum and maximum ranges for air targets up to 6000 m altitude are
1000 and 10 000 m respectively and against armour targets the minimum
and maximum ranges are 500 and 8000 m. The missile is fitted with an
impact fuze and an electro-optical laser proximity fuze for air targets. The
launcher-containers are 2.2 m long. 0.24 m in diameter and weigh about
65 kg loaded and 13 kg empty. The missile launchers can be elevated from
-9 to +85° for missile launch; intercept is guaranteed up to 90°.
Ground targets are acquired electro-optically and the range is determined
by the laser rangefinder. The remainder of the engagement sequence is as
for the air target.

Missile intercept is garenteed up to 90° in other words the sights need to be able to look that high to guide the missile on to the target.
Meaning that the laser can go up to 90 degrees but you can only launch up to 85 degrees
Yeh thats fine, once launched even at 70° it doesn’t matter as long as the missile corrects itself overhead on the way to a target in orbit at 90°, currently the US adats this isn’t possible unless in 3rd person. The only way the missile will be able to be optical guided to that elevation is if the sights are able to rotate to 90°.
They could easily fix it.
At 60 degree sights, if you fire the bushmaster, it will shoot at 59 degrees.
At 90 degree sights, the bushmaster still fires at 59 degrees, fire a missile and it exits at 85 degrees but tracks to the laser at 90 degrees

Do you even know what this is used for?
That is only the US one, Candain one uses a different Flir, sadly I got no specifics on it.
