Not so much. The first thermals I used were as a gunner on on an "A-Zero" Bradley in the mid 90s. Sensitivity and resolution both were pretty limited with a tendency for a lot of items seen to just be a silouhetted blob without much detail visible (note, however, that I think the thermals on both the M1 and even the earlier M60A3 TTS, were of better quality than what they used on the M2/M3 Bradleys back then, though I'm not sure). Modern stuff in use today is I don't know how many generations more advanced and significantly refined, as per the pictures shown above.
