Thermals ruined wasteland once, and they'll ruin it again.
I say remove thermals from the game and let people use actual SKILL to play the game, not some form of cheating.
Yes I understand ArmA is made with thermals, and I agree they are amazing and need to be used. Just not on a wasteland server where it's PVP.
Thermals against AI are good, but when it comes to using them against other players; it kind of ruins the fun and skill of the game.
Vehicle/Laser Des thermals turned off is good, and drone thermals are a good feature but remove them in the form of using them on your persons like the TWS.
Having thermals on a UAV is handy due to the TAB screen and other people spotting, but having thermals on your person/weapon is a little bit unfair.
The reason I say keep them on a drone is it takes skill to be a decent spotter, and you don't have any thermal down the scopes, so the shooter has to actually use their spotter coordination and their own eyes, not just some bright heat signature that gives away positions across the map on a weapon.
If you want scope thermals to stay in the game, make them loot from a hard mission or put the buy price somewhere around $500,000 and sell price to $5,000.
if you can't use a normal non thermal scope, then you don't really belong in ArmA. #makewastelandgr8again.
