PR 0.95 - Thermal Imaging

[ZephyrDark]

...even if it doesn't have the biggest impact.

Actually on some maps its going to have a HUGE impact. No more hiding in those pesky bushes. Man the devs have made me a giddy little crewman.

Haha, great sig!

[Wh33lman]

its definatly going to make armored combat more... interestering. i dont know about armor v armor, but its going to make infantry deployed anti-tank weapons less effective.
2:15-3:07


now if your infantry and you spot a tank who pops smoke, run for cover.

as for attack helicopters, its definatly going to increase their effective range. i never saw the vehicals on SE before they kicked on the thermal

You would be surprised by how much. We did a test run on SE with Jaymz, he hid bunch of vehs around map in different places then flew around not telling me where they are. I found everything from 1st fly by's

[Jaymz]

You managed to surprise me with this feature, I remember reading a few suggestions concerning thermals and they seemed to be shot down. I guess I see why now.

Coolest feature, even if it doesn't have the biggest impact.

Believe me, it's going to have an enormous impact. Vehicular lethality will be increased ten fold in many situations.

And insurgents still dont get EFPs

Wait for the full feature list. Insurgents and Taliban have multiple additions.

[drs79]

Pretty much. Smoke is completely invisible on thermals.

^As it should be since smoke doesn't give off a heat signature unless of course its smoke which is part of a fire. Very cool addition with thermals.

As I said in the trailerthread, tanks (amongst others) will once again screem "FEAR ME!" .

Video fixed.
I lol'd at the concept.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

and thank you tom. shoud we maybe do a Project Reality Edition to Tank vs Car?

[Tarranauha200]

So this is the feature someone mentioned in post sayin:
"There will be new feature thath will be get you screwed as INF if you dont find cover"
No more hiding in hills hat boys! Time to die!
Also attack choppers will be awesome.

Emm, I always thought that tanks and other armour dont just pop smoke, they pop a susbstance which is capable of reflecting laser and, possibly, other spectrums... 2:41 in the video

Also the t-90 (could be other tanks too, im no expert) has IR blinding, 3:29 in the video. Will that be implemented too? (First guess is a no)

Or am I completely in the wrong here? :

YouTube - T-90 (sorry its in russian, but im sure you'll get the idea)

You might be surprise my friend

That would.... be a stretch. That's like saying we should remove the M1A2 of any damage from ATGMs or anti-tank weapons just because it has ERA.

[Drunkenup]

Rhino;1456560']No, although the Kiowa is set up for it and the Z-9/Panther series when it comes in and something we are going to look into in the future

Just... don't let it be HMD's on fighter jets...

[CC-Marley]

Will a moltov on a tank using thermal blind it for a bit??

[Gotrol]

Wasn't suggesting, was asking =).

The Dev's, I'm sure, could find the balance for all that juicy modern tech given appropriate game engine to work with.

[Jaymz]

Not in this release, no. We were aware of it though

Well he's right that there's IR countermeasures that block certain spectra.

T-90's (as well as loads of Russian tanks for decades now) also have ERA. ERA is not, by any means, full protection against ATGM's.

[bloodthirsty_viking]

i like the parody more xD


anyways, i think it will be fun playing pr with thermals, it will be a fun challange xD

[communistman]

IIRC Infrared blocking smoke has been around for a while and is used by the American and Canadian military, if not others. Sorry I don't have the time to research it and provide sources right now, but I believe many of the forces conducting front-line invasion type operations against a roughly symmetrical force in PR would be packing IR blocking smoke into their vehicles' launchers prior to the engagement.
