Thermal Optics on PTS

Am I just bugging or do they not highlight Infantry anymore, only vehicles?

Are we all cold-blooded now?

It is supposed to just be removing tank mines from thermal visibility (I can't recall if C4 and Prox mines are going to be affected as well). The claim is that they want tank mines to be more defensive so they don't want them spotted as easily.

Honestly there are times when I am staring at the ground looking at a mine indicator, and there's no mine to be seen until thermals go on. I'll be surprised if a blinking light isn't added to tank mines, or it isn't at least made shiny so light reflecting off them can help pilots spot them.

Fuck sake, they should be visible to thermal. >:/

Why should tank mines show on thermal? They dont generate heat.

^ that's a good thing, makes drivers actually having to use their eyes more

Are tank mines working again?
After 20 days without working tank mines, today an outfit member died to a tank mine.
It was combined to a c4 explosion.
We are not sure if the c4 detonated the enemy mine or not.
Earlier today I saw an enemy lighting running over my tank mines and they didn't exploded.
For 14 days now I traded all my tank mines for c4 on my eng load outs. Sometimes I use tank mines to combine with claymores on spawn rooms.
Coming from a person that got auraxis with it on 7 months ago, tank mines not working are one of the worst bugs ever!
