Thermal imager for helicopter gunners
Many thanks to DICE for hearing the community and introducing thermal imagers for ground equipment. But they didn’t finish it a bit, deprived the helicopter shooters of this opportunity. I think th...

@AlkaniusRUS If they make it like how it works for Casper's drone, I think that would be a good implementation for it.
In place of the arrow of the helicopter, it is simply not interesting to play due to the difficulty of detecting infantry. The gunner's optics have a terrible color contrast that impairs the ability to detect infantry. It's a shame that the ground equipment was upgraded, and the helicopters were bypassed. I really hoped that the shooter would be given an extra slot to attract interest to this place, but everything is very sad.
Also I believe they would have to move the Air to Ground to the gunner instead of the pilot therefore the pilot concentrates on other air vehicles while keeping it steady for the gunner to shoot at ground vehicles.
At the time of the release of the map "factory", I enjoyed flying in an attack helicopter, since there are no jet fighters on this map. The anti-aircraft guns are more deadly with 25mm cannons plus a turret suddenly appearing on the roof of the factory. There are a lot of infantry, out of greed you even forget to watch the sky and other threats, but only the pilot can clearly see it. You change to the place of the gunner of the helicopter, even in front of your nose you can’t see anyone because of the terrible light filter of the optics. It is very difficult to aim when the helicopter is maneuvering, you quickly lose targets in a motley texture. Sometimes they couldn’t destroy me for several rounds, I very often arrived in the thick of things, but the shooters did not linger in place, they spawned on me and jumped off. This is very sad, as the shooter is sorely lacking in the opposition to the Nightbird or when destroying the anti-aircraft gun.
