Button or Un Button

[casper]

3 questions that may be common sense when explain to me.

1- is it better to unbutton or button in a modern tank/AFV?

2- do you have to be un buttoned for the crew to use the optics in your scout Humvee like in real life?
i cant find anything in the manual.

3-does it say some where who has IR blocking and none IR blocking smoke? is mortar smoke IR blocking?





thank you for you help

I leave the US Abrams tank buttoned. I unbutton (when safe to do so) all other tanks.

The following vehicles, in game, should be unbuttoned to get the benefit from their primary thermal sensor: (I think in RL also)
M1151 Recon Humvee
M1167 ATGM Humvee
M1127 Stryker RV
M1131 Stryker FSV
M1200 Armored Knight

No artillery or mortar smoke in the game is IR (multispectral) blocking.

All US vehicle smoke is IR-blocking. Black RUS / UKR vehicle smoke is not IR blocking. White RUS / UKR vehicle smoke (e.g. Shtora) is IR-blocking.

Probably not. Most is from testing, learning the hard way and reading the BFC forum. Good luck.

Also with regards to Humvees, they need to be unbuttoned for their weapons to be used.

yeah with TOW and 50cal. its a little more obvious but the scout optics was muddy if you need them maned or not. for me anyways.
