Yes, it does have an effect, particularly on thermal imaging systems.

Excellent just what I was hoping for

 

for the real world tankers does adverse weather effect laser range finders I have heard heavy fog can effect them.

In my experience snow and ice don't have much effect on thermic scopes (Artillery ones portable) as there are still a big difference between targets and the surrounding landscape but rime have a very negative effect as it cools every surface and in the air down in a whole other way with vapor on the surface in effect making everything the same temperature , otherwise it have to snow really really heavy like a whiteout in the arctic regions otherwise it dossent effect TIS in the ranges we use.

 

This is with technology from the 1990is and forward and lately in the 2010s i have had it on the Danish 800 class patrol boats where i were the xo in the naval homeguard crew and then it was the same when we search for people both live and on exercises.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the edit model choice on the menu

That's Ssnake's "Add New Vehicle" feature.

 

Only those worthy of the holy decree of implementation are allowed access to such hallowed "Hmm!" Features.

New powerlines in the video? 1:26 mark

 

Not that I'm checking my email religiously for updates or anything.

 

A few follow on questions

1. I didn't see any heat effects for the choppers - does that mean we aren't getting the particle system, or is heat not modeled for vehicles yet?

2. The cargo Mi8 - will it be able to resupply units? I see ammo racks in the back - is that just artwork?

The video doesn't show much particle stuff, but even then, no heat blur particles in the initial release.

The boxes in the Mi-8 rear are just artwork. I'd be hard pressed to make a statement whether the landed helicopter has an actual resupply function right now, I'll have to check that.

 

Right, one more thing: All (military) (land) vehicles can tow other vehicles in the same weight class now.
