Moderators Volcano Posted July 22, 2022 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2022 On 7/21/2022 at 4:00 PM, Grenny said: Just a brief explanation of the M60A3 vs M60A3(TTS), since I can briefly come out of my cave: Yes, although the the M60A3 (non-TTS) took a lot of work, it is not a huge difference but the intent was to allow a non-thermal version of the M60A3 to be placed into scenarios, without the scenario designer having to damage the TIS and have an inoperable TIS seen in the interior, with also the tank having the name of "M60A3(TTS)" where "TTS" identified that it had a thermal sight. With the TIS disabled, the name of the vehicle confused everyone, and required the scenario designer to explain in notes that no one would read. 😂 So, it eliminates this messy and confusing situation when the designer simply wanted the version of the tank that didn't have the thermal sight, which actually most non-US nations that used the M60A3 had, and is the version of the tank the US had in the late 70s. (It was also done to show favor to the Austrians too, who provided access to that version of the M60A3 that they had in service). So if we all keep that in mind, then it should be a pretty good improvement (it's not so much about the gunner's IR sight). 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hopefully eSim can expand the stable of IR equipped Western armour (And night fighting in general) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hopefully, the SB5 engine will satisfy my technical demands for night-fighting. Because, frankly, I have yet to see games that do darkness justice beyond mere visual effects. It should be noted that this will be yet another pure PE feature, once implemented, because training usually doesn't want it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't all of them got TTS? Do they still have M60A1s in the original configuration? I was under the impression that all non-TTS M60A3s were retrofitted with TTS by the mid-'80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday is the Beta Tester feedback deadline. Assuming the team (who are all working like blue arsed flies at the moment) dont find anything, eSim programmers still need to build the update install package etc. This is my educated guess, I do not work for eSim. Do not quote this as gospel. Edited July 23, 2022 by Hedgehog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumituisku Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I'm curious. Can drone like swing blade 600 highlight other drones like it can highlight hot spots with red color? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 24, 2022 Members Share Posted July 24, 2022 For image recognition to work you need at least 8...12 pixels width in one dimension. In the best of cases (high contrast), for Quadcopters and the like the recognition distance could only be a few hundred meters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
