[Development] Night Vision Devices and Thermal Sights



In update 1.91, we will introduce the feature of night vision devices and thermal sights for armoured vehicles and helicopters. This important aspect of modern warfare will significantly change battles at higher ranks. Today we would like to share with you how these devices will be implemented in the game, about their differences and application features below.

Night vision devices will be implemented for those vehicles that used them in reality. Such equipment is divided into two large groups according to the principle of physical action - image intensifiers and thermal sights.

The principle of operation of such devices is the amplification of reflected or radiated light. At night, such devices enhance the visibility of objects in the reflected light of the moon and stars, and in cloudy weather or with insufficient visibility, an area can be illuminated with an infrared headlamp.





Image intensifying night vision devices are divided into generations: if the first examples of such equipment had a short range of operation and could often be overexposed, then in later-generation devices, targets could be distinguished even at a distance of more than a kilometer. This division is rather arbitrary in the game and affects the clarity and range of the view. The early examples from the period at the end of World War II belong to the 1st generation. The first post-war MBTs were equipped with devices of 1st and 2nd generations. On vehicles from the 80-90s, devices of 2+ and 3rd generations are found. In the game, the night vision feature will be displayed only in those crew positions in which they were provided in real ground vehicles or helicopters - night sights for the gunner, commander, driver, and so on.
