  1. Ok, I understand all the pro and cons, but begs the question why were they modeled at all in CMx1 if they weren't that important or superior? Seems like selective memory...(or we may see them in Eastern Front?)

    Also agree that it probably doesn't matter for historical Normandy ranges, but may be important for building scenario's where extreme ranges are possible...

  2. The one's I've seen personnaly are TOW mounted and hand held/helmet mounted. Your resolution get's much better the more stuff you can pack into them, but that adds weight, That's why all your aircraft mounted stuff looks really amazing. I assume the vehicle mounted IR is as good as aircraft quality. Even with the one's I've used, (can't rattle off a model number) if you have a lone guy crawling up on you they tend to stand out like a beacon, but it's hard to tell if they are hostile. Gets much worse if they are mixed in with a bunch of civies. You also get eye fatigue, narrow field of vision, have to watch the screen, boredome etc. So its easy to miss someone taking a shot at you, when you try to lock they've melted back into the group. Starlight scopes are much better if you want detail on a person. I'd don't know if the military uses them much any more.
