Pretty close to what Thermal Imaging Sight (T.I.S.) on M1 series looked like. Tank Thermal Sight (T.T.S.) on M60A3 was actually a later and better sight, retrofitted to M60 series.

[@jeffreyestahl]

There are some things the devs could do to make it more interesting. From what I've seen, all infantry in a squad stand up or hunch down exactly in unison, carry their rifles in exactly the same position and angles, and run forward in parade step. I realize it made the coding easier by modeling infantry squads as a unit (i.e. animated together), but a little statistical variation would be doable. Hopefully, they add some of that variety. (unlikely, since it's a game that's focused on armored vehicles, but one can hope)

[@andresmorera6426]

I don't think it is necessarily unlikely. I mean, the variations in how individuals hold stuff might be cosmetic and not likely to be a priority, but being more realistic about how infantry moves and behaves is something that is certainly important for such a simulationist game. No matter how focused this game is on armored fighting vehicles, infantry are part of what these vehicles are meant to deal with. This isn't War Thunder. :)

[@dammitdan1662]

Given that this is the first iteration of infantry, I can guarantee you there will be improvements in AI, models, movement

[@Turgeon12]

They probably will update them but yes it won’t be a priority. They’ll maybe give them M60s, medics, LAWs and a bunch of different equipment to make them feel more like a squad than just a bunch of Joes

[@jeffreyestahl]

@@dammitdan1662 That's why I said, "I hope." The game is still effectively in Early Release, so a lot of changes are likely to occur.

[@luggilu7864]

There will be a lot that will still happen. The roadmap is making steady progress ever since the early access release and the dev team has grown, but it's still a very small team of one main dev, and I think two or three more full time developers. Currently more infantry stuff is being worked on with next on the roadmap being west German forces and overhauled damage models, after that overhauled campaign and then multiplayer, which is supposed to feature multi crew. This may be another year or two, possibly more down the line, but it's safe to assume that infantry (which has just been released for the first time) will see more improvements in the future. This is one of the few Kickstarter indie games that actually is of high quality and at the same time keeps adding meaningful stuff to get towards a finished product while also maintaining touch with the community

[@kristianfischer9814]

Think a lot of people don't realize precisely how dangerous dismounted infantry with anti-tank weapons are to tanks. If you're in a buttoned-up tank, you're essentially blind.

[@loginlover]

it's so cool that they modeled how your defense smoke will start small brushfires where the cannisters land. White phosphorus would definitely do that

[@jakesomethingorother4676]

It's not necessarily your normal game but I highly suggest Armored Brigade. It's 2D, BUT uses a detailed map of the Fulda gap and simulates combat from the platoon to the battalion (or larger) scale. You can choose scale from smaller 2km maps to huge 50~km maps of whatever shape. No other game quite captures the scale of it or the Cold War feel, and the AI feels relatively doctrinal in vanilla. Managing a battalion size unit down to the squad level is surprisingly fun, from your recon assets to your lowly infantry platoons, your armor to your anti air, there's a lot to work with. It's something like Combat Mission with some simplified ways of simulating things. You should definitely play it at some point, if not for the channel but for yourself. It's a solid game if you're into large scale Cold War scenarios.

[@ruskiwaffle1991]

BTW Armored Brigade 2 just released a few weeks ago. I haven't played it yet but the 3D aspect makes perceiving things like line of sight easier than in 2D.

[@jakesomethingorother4676]

@ruskiwaffle1991 I personally liked playing the original in GPS/map mode and using the height maps. Added to the immersion.

[@madcat4633]

I am no M1 expert, but I guess their early laser/rangefinding worked like ours (Leo2A4): the fc will take the longest laser echo return. During your last engagement you lazed center of target and didnt hit the tank. Your fc told you "2600m" while the engagement range was at like 1400m... So, once the target is as big or even smaller than your "laser circle" you habe to aim low and then laze. The fc will get the range of the surface infront of the tank AND the tank. And since it takes the longest range, it will take the tank's range. Leo2A5 onwards (and I guess M1A2) have a switch to change laze mode (either taking first or last laser echo return)

[@johnnyenglish583]

Interesting! All in all, how does your Leo2A4 experience compare to what is shown here in the game with the Abrams? I mean, how realistic to do you consider this game to be?

[@madcat4633]

@@johnnyenglish583 Can't comment on firepower and protection since I never shot at a real tank and was never shot at myself. But let it put it that way: we felt very confident. At least in a frontal duel-style engagement. Regarding the game: I am struggeling most with the gameplay as it feels clunky compared to the real thing. IRL I used my voice to coordinate my tank and my platoon and not my mouse and keyboard. While I am looking out or at the map everyone else will do his job because a tank is manned by 4 humans who can do their job by themselves.The driver moves the tank and he is not gonna run into a tree because the gunner was busy lazing the target. My platoon will find good positions (going hulldown, etc) and not stay exactly to my 3 or 9 o clock (like the bots they are). No tanker is going to turn the hull around 180 degree while under fire like the bots do. Here in game I have often the feeling that I lost tanks or even engagement mainly due to the fact I couldn't react like I would have liked to. But maybe that's just me. But then the game does many things right and it often feels like the sims we used during training. (but with much better graphics ^^ )

[@johnnyenglish583]

@@madcat4633 thanks! Very interesting to hear a real tanker's comments. I, too, have the feeling that sometimes your platoon members die because of totally irrational, unrealistic behaviour. I guess it's harder to program AI than graphics :)

I love the after action report, though I do wish that the devs could expand it a bit and have more of a kill cam style replay for each shot, rather than just a static line display that jumps around from shot to shot. Still really awesome being able to see exactly where each of your shots ended up. That one round scraped the paint off the underside of that T-72. You couldn't thread a needle any closer than that even if you tried 😂

Any chance of getting another IL2 dynamic campaign sometimes soon?
