Yeah. The starlight scopes from the Vietnam era worked okay but not great. They were IR lights that lit up and if any starlight scopes were acquired my the VC they looked like torches when turned on. Now the NVGs of this era are completely different. No grainy green light with no depth perception. It's all different from 40 years ago that's why.
