and/or allow you to actually fixate onto a ground target at those ranges. I find in SB at least, ground targets are visible out to about 25km (just about) but it wont let you lock onto any of them until you are within about 13km of the target. You can stabilise out to 20km, but you have to be very accurate.
@Gunjob btw could you check in why in the dev servers the assta 1 thermals had been “fixed” to gen 2 and then in the last update “nerfed” to gen 1 again? Right now i gave a feeling like someone accidentaly thought germany uses the same thermals als britain and copy pasted your targeting pod on top pf the litening 2
I also saw that, and let me tell you, they were not gen 2. The resolution was in a weird spot where it wasnt any gen we have in game. It was some kind of 2+ but not 2+
Im not sure when. I would need to go look for past datamines, and i do not want to do so. The only plane with tpod of higher gen is jh7
F16c tpod from the datamine, checked just now
Couldn’t say without checking. Though Gaijin’s modelling the generation by just changing the resolution is a somewhat lacking interpretation. As an example the Litening 3 is a 3rd gen thermal imager, but has a lower resolution than what gaijin use for gen 2 in game.
