you know this isn’t just an American issue right

how is it not an American issue?
Because other planes have the same issue
The Thermal gen of in the code of the plane is gen 1 which overrides the Generation of the pod some French jets have this issue as well

all i see is the F16C had gen 2 and it got nerfed somehow but UK-Sweden-Israel still have their Gen 2 + i’m talking about Litening which most Top Tier jet got them it’s just the F16C mains gotta open their eyes more to get kills.

German and Italian Tornados had Gen 1 Litening IIs for ages as well. I dont actually know if its been fixed. Its a constant and common issue for basicaly every nation.
At this point Im starting to think its intentional

Ok a quick explanation here. Planes have 2 variables that corespond to what TGP gives. Plane sight and pod sight. Plane sight is the more important one, and it overrides all sight a plane can have (FLIR, weaponry sight and TGP sight), while TGP sight works only on TGP. F16 has both Plane and TGP values, gen 1 for plane and Gen 2 for TGP, that causes the TGP to be gen 1 as sight value is taken over the TGP value.
Yeah…
I assume it might be Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 Sniper targeting pod
I guess JAS39 Gripen C & AMX A-11 equipped 2nd gen+ thermal targeting pod (Rafael Litening III)
But I wonder F-16D Block 40 Barak from 3 image equipped Litening II or Litening III
AV+8B+ and Tornados has 1 gen
It’s more than a single line of code.
They’re likely coming up with a solution that stops these bugs from occurring in future implementations.
There’s no nerf.
@someweirdname
Balance has nothing to do with this topic.
They probably consider it a low priority issue.
Yeah… The British TT is a low priority issue…

Actually was gen 2 for a while but got reverted to gen 1 (on the Barak II)
They still have them
but they have one thing in common. They have a weapon with IR seeker.
That forces the mto have Sight value set at Gen 1 and it overrides the Pod value that is Gen 2 as i explained here.

Spaghetti code?
Yea, a leftover from old times. But that system for example allows them to not add pod value for Gr.7 and Gr.1, as TGP also has (even tho it should be Gen 2) Gen 1, so they simply added Sight value only and caleld it a day.
And then there is Kurnass 2000 that has Gen 2 for Mavs D for some reason, even tho all other users have Gen 1 for it
And then there is Mirage F1CT that has no IR weaponry nor FLIR but still has sight TI
Bruh, Russian hasn’t used any NATO weaponry, ever. They have only reverse engineered it, and made an objective worse version of it. (See R-3 and R-3R, a AIM-9B and AIM-9C respectively)
I hope that was satire, but expecting for the worst.
Time to bring out the funny
Spoiler
And that is a MiG-29?
