Cool technology, just not real practical as you also lose the ability to communicate with your platoon/teammates. There's a reason why this stuff has been out for 5+ years and not caught on with the IR tank battling, same with the other novelty options available with some of the aftermarket boards. Ok, enough poopoo'ing this, just my experiences and observations playing with around the house and Danville. It is cool to take some awesome vids of driving around or taking video's of battles on a tank perspective.
Yea totally understand. With some people not using it may become a disadvantage. However if all did or had drivers looking and commanders firing we would all be good

Yea the problem is limited channels on the 5.8GHz band. Recently Immersion/FatShark introduced the raceband channels which helps 8 people play with the least amount of interference but any more than that is pushing it and will most likely cause issues with other people's feeds. Other frequencies are available but require a HAM license and non so friendly frequencies (2.4 and 5.8 are the most friendly US frequencies).
