Thermals have been nerfed so hard that I'm left asking "Why are they still in the game?" They've are pretty much useless now as said above they are used to see cloakers but hardly anyone uses cloakers since they too got nerfed. Why would a HOS or Detective want to wear them because as soon as they enter or leave Security they are going to get flashed on their way in or out.
If you are going to change them to make them somewhat useful then this is the route to take in my opinion.
I agree with this 100%. You are a fool if you choose Thermals over Sunglasses at this point.
Do I think Thermals should go back to the way they were? No. Thermals were so OP that cloakers would be found out if they had bad luck and stumble into a room with the HOS, security officer (back when the officers could have them as well) or the detective then they would be killed on the spot or hunted all round. Do I agree with how hard they were nerfed? No not at all. I feel like no thought went into the nerfing of them, at least with the cloaker they change how it worked. But with Thermals they changed nothing and took almost everything that made them appealing away. No thought went into making them better all the thought went into making them boring. So it was sad to see the last time a thermal thread popped up with great ideas that all those ideas got shot down.

Also seeing as those fucking portable flashers are back it's even more annoying to use thermals.
I liked the heat signature idea.
