Better Seasprite Optics

Description
Tired of your Seasprites getting shot down trying to VID a target? Wishing they had better binoculars in the cockpit with them? Me too! This mod is our chance to better equip our brave helo pilots and keep them out of harm's way.

This mod increases the visual detection and identification ranges the Seasprite can achieve, especially in low-light, by changing the "Optics" sensor present on the SH-2F to the "ReconCamera" sensor already present in the game files. This felt like a worthwhile upgrade without being overpowered.

No need for mods like NTU, but this mod does upgrade the optics of the SH-2F (1986) from NTU if you have that installed. Be sure to place it above NTU in the load order in order to change the SH-2F (1986). If you don't have NTU, this will add an entry in the Unit Reference for the 1986 version, but as far as I know you won't be able to use it since I believe it's only carried on the custom vessels that NTU adds.

Nice add! I know the SH60Bs we carried on CG 62 had FLIR to make longer VIDs and VIDs at night. Not sure if SH2 carried FLIR, but I like your thinking
