According to this from 2016, we’re were going to use LWIR for Ajax
But this is newer and says MWIR for CR3 Challenger 3: Inside the TrueHunter Commander Sight with Thales - Calibre Defence while acknowledging that both CR3 and Ajax use the same imagers.
please god dont turn the zoom to 7x
The one i sent is from 2011, so I’d go with the 2016 source and assume its LWIR
Yeah you were so close to being dead there. Interesting how none of the rounds penned or even disabled the engine.
You should be thankfull Gaijin is yet to action Sky Sabre then.
1.9-210x :)
who gives a damn its an spaa, it rarely looks upclose plus i usually use the spaa menu anyhow
Does the commanders sight for the Ajax have the same optical day zoom as the gunner sight irl?
They are the same sight iirc
Yeah, they are the same sight, just the Commander sight rotates
“ The sensors themselves have moved to different technology from the original line scanning TI of Cr 2. One of the key differences is the use of MWIR for both commander and gunner, which gives improved atmospheric penetration. TI can sometimes struggle when there is a high water density,” Stewart explained.” Yup, however we don’t know for sure if it’s Catherine MP that was selected given other parts of the sensor package are being new developed.
god I cant deal with 8x zoom upclose lads
Would suspect the already used theatres is referring to challenger 2 TISP
Double check if the game uses vertical or horizontal fob’s due to aspect ratio differences.
I do not have anything to check it on, im trusting da12 on it.
Fair enough.
ah yes my favourite zoom options
That’s only cuz I used IR channel. TV goes up to 320x
Catherine MP was installed operationally as the gunner’s thermal sight on both Challenger 3 and Ajax’s direct predecessors, and Thales don’t publicly appear to offer another HD-resolution imaging system.
It has been the preferred UK sovereign, cooled imager since the late-2000s, and had considerable government funding to ensure its status as a UK sovereign capability.
Unless Thales UK have made something better somewhere, or you believe CR3 is going to have worse gunner thermals than Challenger 2 and Scimitar 2, there is practical certainty that we are using Catherine MP in the current Ajax and CR3’s DNGS-T3 (and Orion) setup.
The Catherine MP camera is visible in the above brochure image of the dismounted DNGS-T3
On that note, it matches to the MW one, due to the separate black cylinder (connector?) in the bottom right corner.
MW, here the cylinder is red
That helps a little, but does not prove anything.
Orion also can be seen mounted with the MW, as you can see the bump with a slope on the side, that is at the base of the cylinder.
The Caliber Defence article talks about the “Thales SharpView” imager, i havent heard of it before
It states its MWIR
This isnt a primary source though
