Should also be a roll stabilized image

I think most pods should be (Litening for example)
Not sure why they don’t spend the time to implement it, given how annoying it is … Like how difficult would it be to just rotate the image and keep the sky up …

Probably more difficult in the way they have implemented it currently. What they can do to significanlty improve on this is to adjust the sideways angles. Currently limited to 90° to the left/right. If they simply up it to the same angle as the depression angle (as simulating a 90° roll), the image will stay upright for a larger sector. Only the Damocles has this modelled right now, but I can’t say for sure it works like I described. It seems to at least be considerable better at keeping a lase at least because of the larger coverage.
That’s true, so I do hope this change goes through. Definitely makes more sense as well as helping out some planes, in particular incredibly helpful for the otherwise fairly sad F-4F KWS. With the change, it can at least see. The A-10A Late and Kurnass 2000 might become too strong after this change however… The KWS and Kurnass 2000 are both also a bit weird, the KWS gets like gen 1.5 thermals on the Mavs and the Kurnass 2000 gets gen 2. Not sure why this is, but more such inconsistencies exist.
Also just because the document is unclassified doesn’t necessarily mean it’s useable. At least I was told to be careful and not use it (for now) as the front does say this:
But the document is pretty old now, 23 years. It’s also not export restricted (those warnings look different), so I suppose it’s semi fine. I think the (unwritten) rule was to wait 30 years or something however.
I asked a senior tech mod and I was told it’s good to use

Surprised they haven’t been retired yet. I guess they are waiting for EX production to pick up
Don’t get me wrong I love F-15C but when I see an F-15 serial that starts with anything below 86 all I can think of is the grandma worm from Spongebob
Nice to see the F-15C “Sandman” with the 114th Fighter Squadron from Kinsley Field
(unlockable in-game skin) make an appearance in this cool video:

They need to let them retire, that thing was ordered in 1978 (or production was started on it that year) if I understand USAF serials
