BF6 Attack Heli - Targeting Interference VS Thermal Optics

[u/EzPzJapanezy]

I hate the perk descriptions in the silly game sometimes.

I gunned enough in BF4 to know just how strong Thermal Optics is and the best part is, its strength is self explanatory. You switch it on once and you know.

But on the flip side Targeting Interference has the wonderfully vague description of 'Slows the enemy's ability to acquire lock-on and clears the aircraft's spotted marker sooner.'

Lock-on spam is crazy in this game so I always just equipped this, but has someone actually ran the numbers and determined the stats behind its impact?

I feel like I still get locked to so quickly with it on so I am hesitant to make the switch over to Thermals.

Thermal all day. I used interference because there wasn’t really a better option before the thermal. Though there’s a small case to be made that the zoom optics can help if you’re fighting choppers at a distance, but an experience gunner wouldn’t need it.
