How different is the thermal image view in the steelbeasts from real life?

Can anyone with a background in a tank crew describe it?

Its actually pretty good. I have a Cavalry background and from what I can tell its pretty good. Of course it not 100% because that requires a lot of dynamic modeling.

Real life terrain tends to have more variation, especially when the sun is shining. Small water puddles will reflect the sky, moist earth appears cool from the water evaporation, and depending on the type some soils will warm up and cool down faster than others ("thermal inertia").

But, moving pictures say more than 10,000 words, so I can but recommend to search Youtube for examples like this:

Probably because there is no obvious heat source, the picture looks and feels like visible light imaging, you can see a lot of details of the ground, but the tone is very simple.

Ah.  Turret stabilization on the Bradleys had been discussed on a different thread.  I should have left it there...heheh. 

 

However, the thermals on the Bradleys as depicted in SB is quite accurate to reality.  I give SB credit for that.

If you can provide a scenario link which can demonstrate that misbehaving, and describe how it should be in reality, Ill be happy to test it. Its what we do.
