I'm so pissed right now!!!
I'm going to be
REAL brief right now as I've spent hours again in trying to answer the question.
First I can't emphasize how many references I've looked at
over the last 24+hrs.
The bottom-line is I come up with the same answer "
over and over again"
Breath!
Night Vision/Early batches
TO1-KO1 Buran-PA with TPN-4-49-23 passive/active II (target id range 1.2/1.5 km)
Those distances are
limited by
lighting conditions as stated in ref. 1. Which "
ambient" "
twilight" or "
skylight" before
Sunrise and after
Sunset. And not in the "
Dark of Night", leaving you, depending where you are at on the planet and the time of year, from
<1hr. to ~1.5hrs. before or after the celestial event has occurred on average. Read the end of
first para and
"Basic Characteristics" Line Item #6 from
Ref. 1.

Commander Sight:[/b] Is a
1st GEN TI limited to the distances
highlighted below.
From Ref. 1 and all that have been posted or not.
PNK-4S complex includes TKN-4S Agat-S day/night sight (
target id range 800 m (day)/700 (night)

I "
split" the difference between the two distances from the Commanders Sight (
750m) to get the
TI 15 distance.
Of the advantages the
T-80U had over the
T-90 was in the
FCS & VISION, remember all these and other refs. make it clear the
T-90 only used certain parts of the
T-80U FCS. They als state for the most part
excepting VISION the
T-80U FCS was on par with the
LEOPARD 2 of the time.
I cannot in "
good conscience" and in keeping with the
current game TI/GSR stats, see the
T-90 having
TI/GSR of more then 25-30.
The equipment just does not support it.
To be brutely honest I'll quote Ruger Hauer from the end of "Blade Runner-Tears in the Rain"...“
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
That line holds true during this
evolution it would turn our world "upside down" when it comes to VISION for the earlier years the
1st and some 2nd GEN sights were available.
I will say this much since this was the focus of the this evolution, the West had the advantage in
VISION,
FCS and to some degree
REALIBILITY of their Tanks. The East had more powerful
MG's and as it would turn out "
better" ammo then we thought at the time, also to some degree they were also "
better"
PROTECTED as well.

I'm spent. Lost everything looking for another Ref. earlier. And darn after losing last night. but, having a bonus evening off with CINCLANTHOME because of the range this morning, consider me "
Out to, well, Dinner for the rest of the night."
