Re: Explosives have a new meaning??

... Infra Red is not thermal. Infra Red means that you're shining a infra-red light at a location and it lights up more in Night Vision...

...Thermal scopes display as a kind of gray scale... the brighter/whiter an area, the hotter it is.

Are you sure about that regarding Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR)? I know infrared is used in combination with NVGs to enhance visibility, but FLIR is also used as a separate viewing solution.

FLIR units measure the amount of infrared energy emitted by various objects and life forms. In other words, it allows the user to "see" the amount of heat (or thermal energy) an object emits.

FLIR can also be set to "black hot" as well as the usual "white hot."

They will have an engineer class, and they will be played as a lot i think. In close combat with infantry, what could be better than a one shot blast with a shotgun? and there will still be vehicles used, like the new buggy and stuff, here go to this site... http://www.tdg.sohosted.com/battlefi...index_info.htm

'Real' APCs? What 'real' apc isn't armed these days? If you are referring to the old m113 'metal coffin' there's a reason they don't use those any more.

alpha, anti-tank rockets are to stop tanks, not infantry. I suggest you rethink your weapon choice.

And they said that all kits will have night-vision goggles that will use a bar similar to stamina. It will drain slowly, but will regenerate itself when not in use.

You're probably right... I'm just a Doc... wtf do I know I was always under the impression that infrared light and infrared energy were two different things... I just get kinda peeved when movies such as US Navy Seals show snipers using thermal scopes.

I may have misquoted then... that would be my fault. I know that with NVG's you can light up an area using an Infrared spotlight and I've used thermal sights before... TOW and Dragon sights...(had to lug those f00kers up a huge mountain for testing purposes to see if it was worthwhile to let other units take them... heh... thermal sights, batteries for the radio for 5 days, stripped MRE's for 5 days, change of cammies, socks for 5 days, rain gear, patrol ghillie, ammunition, ranger roll, 8 qts of water, AND my UNIT5 medic bag ARGHGHGHGHGHH).

Navy SEALs ranks right up there in realism with Top Gun and Drumline.

They never rent quality flicks. They always pick the most intellectually devoid movies on the rack.
