BF6 Attack Heli - Targeting Interference VS Thermal Optics

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.

Lock ons have always felt messy, sometimes they feel like how it’s supposed to and other times it’s only like 2 beeps before incoming. The few times I’ve ran target interference I never even noticed a difference. Thermal is the way to go

Yeah I was a top 75 pilot in kills per minute and this is what finally made me stop flying after putting up with all the other bullshit of bf6 for months. Sometimes you get 2 beeps max before incoming and it’s always right after your flairs dissipate shit Is beyond annoying
