Froggy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 there was no thermal in Commander sight in 2006... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted May 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Spent my entire(extended) lunch break to research this.Jane's Armoured vehilces and Jane's optical systems (2014) state that the cdr sight has the option to inject the thermal image of the TOGS II. in addition to that and observation monitor to view(again the TOGS II) thermal image is included in the commanders position...as well as the gunners.cdr peri is stated to include a SAGEM day sight and a LRF.(Do we have a TC LRF in steelbeasts?)None of the usual culprits (Thales, BAE, SAGEM, Elbit and so on...) have an CR2 contract in their reference section.So based on findings of the public and semi public domain, there is a Thermal sigh-"extension", but all input comes from the TOGS II.So no indipendent TIS for the commander in any reference.Yes, this is what we saw too, along with the information we gathered from our sources. So, I am scratching my head if it is now said that they have thermals on the peri. :confused:Maybe it was added very recently? If true, and I am not convinced that it is, then it just means we are not modeling the very latest version (which is fine until the MoD ever purchases SB).

Hedgehog Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Me, Hoggy and Crusty are off to tank fest at the end of June, we can ask the question then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR2_Commander Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 There is currently no independent TI in the commanders sight. He can only view TI through the sight extention as previously mentioned. There are plans to swap out for a Catherine TI sometime in the future I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. :luxhello: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It is currently modeled correctly - although long range Hesh does not work... But I can live with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It is currently modeled correctly - although long range Hesh does not work... But I can live with that.Also the GAS would be nice with the correct stadia lines.Hope esim gets time to work it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they both must wait until the day that we have nothing better to do, given that they are both complex and would take valuable development time, with minor benefits in comparison to other work that can be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoLI remember speaking to a serving British officer on teamspeak. He was a fan of SB and even considered purchasing it for training purposes For his regiment. IE buying some licences himself.If what I have read/ heard is correct the Brits are in the process revitalising the armoured Regiments. and so are the French. the whole Ukraine situation was a wake up call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
