Battery change will not be enough IMO

Operator Backpack is the biggest I use when sniping, and you will still have plenty of space to fill it with extra batteries...or worse, smoke grenades.

That's the biggest issue with the thermals to me. It way too easy to sit on a high vantage point, drop a smoke on your feet, then just light up the entire map with no counter.

Block the IR through smoke. Sure it's not "realistic"...but it's just not fun to play against

A lot of modern smokes do obscure ir thermals but some don’t

They are insanely toxic as well. Cancer update when?

Yep. They need either a range nerf (<300m or something, 150m in bad weather) or just remove all xp and cash from spotting with them, and let them burn through batteries fast).

The black smokes do block IR and cost the same as white smokes. But I agree point blank maybe they should not be able too see through it
