Bombardier Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 I was originally going to post this on the earlier thread concerning German Optics, but it became a flame pit and I didn’t think I would get a response. I recently have read that during the battle of the Ardennes the latest Panther tanks were equipped with infra-red night sight optics. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true wouldn’t it be fair to include this feature? I understand that this equipment was probable very rare. However, it can not be as rare as the Super Perishing.

Bombardier Posted October 5, 2000 Author Share Posted October 5, 2000 Apparently I used the wrong words in my search. I thought it a bit odd that no one has brought this up before. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankDawg Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Not to mention the one of the only major flaws of CM is how it handles night battles. So even if somehow they included the mythical IR sights, it would have to take a back seat to all the other mechanics of night battles that this engine as not been able to do yet. Maybe CM2 will tackle this. I recommend studying how ASL handles the loss of CnC, Straying and LOS at night. ------------------ Jeff Newell TankDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
