AlexUK Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Playing scenario Breakout from the Marines campaign and the TOW vehicles (Humvee too I think) don’t see hardly anything at night compared to standard LAV. Is this correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary R Lukas Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'm not sure about the IR on a LAV, but as far as the HUMVEE TOW mount I know firsthand that if the vehicle is moving it's impossible to look thru the sights, it doesn't matter if it's the day or IR sights. You can only track when the vehicle isn't moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Ok. Interesting to know. In this case they were both static. Invent tried unbuttoning them. That may make a difference in the only ir sight is on the launcher itself in the LAV version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? The TOW LAV's thermals have been broken since release, with no sign of any fix coming.

AlexUK Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Ok. That seems …. surprising. Thanks for letting me know. Has the thermals on the humvee also been flagged as an issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Talking this from my memory, I don't think TOW Humvee has any issue in CMSF 2. But you got to keep crew turn out of the vehicle , that is the only way for them to use the Thermal sights on the TOW launcher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really surprising, BFC just rarely releases patches in something that can reasonably be called a timely manner. @Chibot Mk IX is right that the thermal on the TOW humvee is on the launcher itself, so unless the gunner is turned out they won't use the thermal optic.

You can only track when the vehicle isn't moving. To put the sights into a better perspective, try to look thru the scope of a rifle while you are in a moving vehicle. It would be almost impossible to hit a target but remember that with the TOW on the HUMVEE the entire unit would be in lock, so nothing would be moving until the vehicle slowed down or stopped. It was even worse when the TOW System was on the M151 Jeep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
