Gaijin doesnt give a shit because there isnt a monetary incentive to fix the Challengers 2.
Gaijin devs dont have an ounce of cumulative brain cells to formulate logical thought and as a consequence, Challengers 2 and many other tanks suffer for it.
Challenger 2 at 10.7 sounds like it would be quite a decent buff actually. Not sure anyone else will be happy about it but with the mobility issues, the lack of armour, dodgy shells. Challenger 2 is barely 11.0 worthy. If you nerf it anymore. It will be less than 11.0 worthy.
Challenger 2 is Gen 2 though. We have the sources for that. They used SPRITE, its Gen 2 with how gaijin model thermals. (Fun fact, TIALD uses the same sensor and should also be gen 2)
SPRITE isn’t gen 2 its a type of detector in the thermal sight it has nothing to do with the generation of the thermals, TOGS-II is still just a minor upgrade over TOGS the only real change was the new cooling system added which only reduced the background noise you’d get on the image its still a 1st gen thermal sight not having 2nd gen thermals was a choice because of needing part commonality with CR1 and the cold war ending.
Then go ahead. try and Bug report it. SPRITE Sensor is modeled as Gen 2 in game, but if you want Challenger 2s at 10.7 be my guest.

Wouldn’t be 10.7 it’d move down to 11.0
Also its very clearly not a 2nd gen sight SB is still the most accurate when it comes to portrayal of thermals
It already should be 11.0, with how badly nerfed Gaijin have made it.
Again? We already had that talk in a different topic

SPRITE is a first generation thermal. However the image quality of SPRITE is widely reported to be significantly better than any other Gen 1 thermals, and even superior to early gen 2 thermals.
The TIALD pod had its SPRITE detector replaced with a gen 2 FPA sensor and the manual actually includes a note warning the crew that in some situations the new imager provides worse image quality to the old one.
For the time being at least the Devs have chosen to model SPRITE as gen 2 due to it’s superior image quality compared to other gen 1s.

SB is still a game which makes assumptions about things like protection, penetration and guess what also sights.
That’s exactly the reason why SB is not a source for anything.

It is by in game standards so go yap somewhere else
Not possible its literally a gen one
Currently it is, you know what i think i will go to the national archive archive sometime and get the thermals nerfed
you do that.
oh, did I mention? they charge for you to go in and look at documents. would be a real shame for all that money to go to waste proving yourself wrong, or better still, proving nothing at all

Yeah and their resolution IRL would make the gen 2 in game because that is their resolution
They are gen 2 end off
There are already reports to make the Challenger 1s thermals gen 2 due to document people have stating SPRITEs resolution

Also TIALD and Vic mk.7
Their resolution is the same as all the other gen 1 i really dont understand this circlejerk when it comes to the chally, its a bad tank that should’ve never saw service of course its going to be extremely outdated
its not the same resolution
it entered service in the 80s the thermals weren’t outdated then
625 lines. This translates to 576 lines of vertical picture each frame and translates to a 720x576 pixel resolution.
and that would be
