Are tanks going to have the new infrared camo system?

[-=Grunt=- 10]

I can't help but notice that after watching this:

And seeing a screenshot of BIS' tank:

That it's camo looks like the camo pattern of the tank in the video, the same "beehive" pattern of the pixels or whatever you want to call it. Does this mean that tanks can hide from FLIR at times in ArmA 3?

I don't imagine the honeycomb pattern is related.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

I don't think so.

It's just a camo pattern, like the one the chinese use.

I was hoping for something like it, would make night armor vs armor operations interesting. Plus, it's 2025.

"Tab" targeting ignores such features anyway.

ROFL :D Unintentionally catchy, as I did practice it for a while in my youth :p

I guess so too... but when ACE will be up, it could be interesting. Maybe they will add a script that you can camo your tank as a civ car lol.

Still dont like it being future... M1A1 + M2A3 vs T90s is the deal for me...

But we will get them mods right :bounce3:

I'd rather see them with the new Carbon Nanotube Cloaking technology.

Well Dwarden obviously liked the idea and I can imagine this fitting in the overall concept quite good.

Might be a bit problematic in some points but we'll see :)

[Sabot And Heat 10]

That Carbon Nanotube tech looks like a glorified mirror.

An excellent goal never the less.
