Guess who marks the first hit!

I have so far not tried the T-72 in SBP, just did so yesterday night after that video, to see how the sim models infrared sightings. You feel blind, naked, exposed and defenceless, I tell you that. Infrared sights are very nicely visualised indeed.

Will not try the T-72 again.

Ambient light NVG compared to thermal is like switching to HDTV
Yet things get better all the time.
