Improved optics in RB

[Pozieres]

What does it do in RB? I assume in AB it allows your crew to see the enemy easier so they are highlighted but in RB the enemy isn't highlighted.

It affects active spotting. There's also some weird stuff with third person camera draw range for enemy tanks. Supposedly it's affected by both "spotting" skill and optics module, but I don't have any hard information on that.

[Pozieres]

But I can already spot tanks without it in both RB and AB. Why would I use this module?

Longer range for active spotting. Also supposedly longer draw range in third person view. This whole thing lacks transparency, I know...

Why would we need longer range when most battles are <2km? I am very interested in how it all works but there is like no info anywhere on the nets. It is like WT's secret 11 herbs and spice.

So you've never been in a situation where you couldn't active spot a target? It can happen within 1.5 kilometers in my experience. The enemy vehicle just needs to be small enough and obscured enough (by landscape or small objects), I think.

I haven't had a problem but there arn't many open large maps in rotation
