Soviet anti-ATGM CM's

[MCab]

I know that some soviet tanks have anti-atgm countermeasures on their tanks. Is this or will it be modeled in TacOps?

Also, in some modern wargames, when a unit has TI, it's assumed that all weapons can use it. The problem is, man-portable atgm crews can use their rifles with TI capability. Has this been noticed in the game?

Thanks,

MCab

It isn't modeled now, it may be in the future.

It used to work that way in TacOps but it does not as of v3.0.

TacOps now tracks the linkage of specific weapons within a unit marker to the thermal sight capability of the unit. Each weapon within a unit marker will only be able to fire on a smoke obscured target if the weapon is actually linked to a thermal sight (unless the enemy is at point blank range).
