BOHEMIA!!! Please fix this wildly inaccurate representation of thermal scopes.
Nausea inducing headache machines now... At least apply a little more research into the scopes. (i/e contrast settings, brightness settings, thermal trim....) the list goes on... They just slapped some psychedelic color pattern over what used to be a smooth easy on the eyes night scope. That thermal pattern (or sensor) they copied is one for scientific purposes. NOT a rifles scope!!!!!! That is what firefighting helicopters use and firefighters use when adressing the thermal signature of a FIRE or scientists observing the thermal behavior of something burning, and exhausts from an engine etc. Its not for long time viewing in a sniper scope. (nightstalker)
And why does the smoke only paint terrain and becomes invisible over the horizon?
A burning tanks plume of smoke is as hot as a family home in the middle of the night. Along with volcanic trees or something. Their official servers are DEAD today too....
CAS is subject to weird warping of thermal temps rendering the use of the targeting pod useless at night.
Giant grey oval bands when seeking enemy naval craft.
Its like they see the bugs but are optimistic thinking it wont happen for the thousands of players... yeah right. I even asked the devs about a bug on candidate branch
"oh no its not like this.... it was a bug... its fine"
I tried it within 5 minutes, replied with my findings being exactly what I thought, buggy... and got no response thereafter when voicing my opinion of the obvious bugs that were just mentioned to not exist. But was instead forced with this update a week later.
I D K at a loss for words on this one. Night missions were so fun! Loved sniping the unsuspected. Now I need to grab some Advil and sunglasses if I intend to use the nightstalker at night ever again. Which I don't.
(fingers crossed, at least a Modder can maybe mitigate this problem if they haven't moved on to Reforger already)
And YES.. I signed up just to say that! 😛
