which is
1. Fuck poor people
and
2. Fuck Aurora

>spending money on special threat bad

this is the most elaborate poorfagging I have ever seen

@CTL thanks for being the only person who's actually discussing lol

pp

So here's my idea

1. Aurora can lead people into buying real NVG, which will expand that market

the guide would basically recommend saving 1000 bucks and where to hunt for a deal on some photonis gen 2+ or a cheap blemmed gen 3

2. Success of aurora means further advances in digital NVG, which will also be pretty neat

the gateway drug to NODs is letting someone wear your pvs14s
and calling them a faggot for trying to go with anything less

@CDRCC everyones actually discussing, you're just being a retarded bitch

I agree borther

The success of the aurora won't advance digital NVGs

Military contracts and R&D research is doing that

Digital NVG has existed for a long time. its still not good

>who the fuck in the military is buying digital NVG

The army

nobody who buys an 800 dollar something is going to go out running to buy a 2000 dollar something when they clearly do not care that there are well documented flaws with their 800 dollar toy

Have you seen helicopter optics?

they're buying thermals, or gen3 NVG

If a poorfag cant save up $2-3k for some gen 3 pvs14's then they dont deserve to be saved from their own retardation

or heard of IVAS?

those are thermals lul

Apache optics are FLIR

bruh the military is going to push digital nvg way more than civvies

@CDRCC The research and development of digital nvgs has already been fixed through an essentially endless budget from the Army, I doubt 1000+ sales on things they have to actually sell is meaningful compared to the billions the army is dropping on prototypes

They still have digital NODs for their camera for near dusk time

its vastly more useful to them to be able to see in color in the dark you fucking retard

yeah digital nightvision for aircraft will be big I think

Civilian adoption of 6.8 GPMGs will force the hand of the <@&559943292029239296> to adopt an m4 replacement

@CTL IIRC that's for high-end bulky systems, and no one here has an apache to stick a new DNVG on

if you think any defense companies care about being competitive on the civi market youre straight up brain dead/

@zxSkeletorxz btw can't remember if I asked but how did my photonis tube hold up compared to gen 3 tubes in similar weather to what we went out in? I'm trying to get a feel for how gimped gen 2+ is in no starlight conditions

Personal wearable digital NVG's are a pretty much private market thing

duh

especially in terms of 'actually available to non mil'

@CDRCC nah, the IVAS program is a fixed billion dollar program that uses digital nvgs
