Thermal Question

[FearlessJew 0]

Hey, I recently found my first L85A2 AWS in Namalsk, and I was very excited to go and try it out. The night vision works fine and all, but when I press "N" to switch over to thermal, I get a red crosshair and my entire screen is black. I have watched many youtube videos about the gun, and they all have infared vision in thermal.

Do you need some attachment to use thermal infared? I really want to try this one out, so all suggestions are helpful. Thank you.

Hmmm, I know on Namalsk some things you can get have 'broken' versions where they dont work. Not sure if thats what it is as I dont play Namalsk now, but I saw a few when i was there. But they all had like the red circle with the line through it, you know the one.

The answer is simple, its too damn cold and thermal needs heat to build an image, anything warm still shows up fine. Its still a good weapon to use if the server has cross-hairs but if you miss scoping the target its pretty disorientating.

Yeah I wish guns like that (like the acog m16 too etc) had that thing where you press / on numpad and you aim sort of over the top of the scope, like on ACE.

Like this:

Its not perfect or anywhere near as good as proper sights, but much better than hip firing or looking down scope if someone is close: Seeing as they're already in game, they would be very easy to implement too.
