RE: Infrared
GreatThanks Tide.
I had read about IR on later German tanks but never seen it until now. CS had 3 types of Panthers --- PzV, Panther F and Panther 11 but they all had similar strengths against Armour and Infantry. I do not know which scenarios featured them and will search the end of war scenarios when I get time. Have any of you run into them?

Very interesting.
Maybe you know this side, but i think many members are interested by this theme and want to read more about it.

RE: Infrared
Yes there was a great book out on the Vampir night scope where a German sniper was sent out to take out an important General and civilian trying to broker an end to the war. There was an intelligence leak and a US counter sniper was sent in to take him out. I just can't remember the name of the damn thing.
