Keen vision?

[Grandmaster Sensei]

What exactly this does?

[Illusionyary]

Increases the range that enemies in direct sight will be picked up and shown with the red tag. It only works in arcade mode and air realistic mode.

[Spaddobird]

In game modes without markers it does absolutely nothing. In Air RB/AB and arcade tanks it increases the range that markers appear in the direction that you're looking. I think upgrading it can get your view distance from something like 5km to 8km in air RB. Worth the investment after you've done the important upgrades to your pilot (G tol, Stam, Vit).

it works in all modes, there are red arrows pointing towards spotted enemies. keen vision affects those arrows.

I thought awareness affected the red arrows?

Awareness is right there under keen vision in the pilot crew skill, it affects detection around the plane while keen vision only works where you're looking.

ahh,ok,i was looking at tanks. and im still not sure you are correct about keen vision,i think it also affects the red arrows that pop up pointing to a target outside your screen,where youre not looking. i dunno,i have to see something from Gaijin on this.
this is what Gaijin says on the wiki

Keen Vision - determines at what distance the player can see an enemy ground vehicle that's under cover. The game server only sends information of a vehicle that's concealed to the client when the player is at a minimal distance from the enemy. This distance is around 500-700m with crew that's not leveled up and up to three times as much with the crew fully leveled up.

it still dosnt make much sense to me tbh.
