SUSAT



The Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux, or SUSAT, is a 4x optical sight with tritium illumination, utilized at dusk or dawn. The full name of the current model is the SUSAT L9A1. The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but is rather intended to be mounted on a variety of rifles, most notably the British L85/86 service weapons and to be used by all front line infantry and support troops. A similar device is the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, or ACOG Sight, which is replacing the SUSAT within many infantry and Royal Marines units of the British Armed Forces. In Modern Warfare 2 it replaces the ACOG-Sights for the L86 LSW.

In-Game
The SUSAT replaces the ACOG Scope on the L86 LSW. It appears different to the regular ACOG; instead of having the standard reticle it simply has a central needle.

Interestingly, the Create-A-Class menu treats the SUSAT as the standard ACOG.

A scope of this kind can be found while playing Estate Takedown in Special Ops or Loose Ends in the campaign, mounted on a L86 LSW, found in one of the rooms of the safehouse.

Trivia

 * The SUSAT has an illuminated reticle in real life.
 * The post type sight was used by German snipers in World War II, hence it's nickname (the "German Post").
 * Because it has no electric operation, this and the TAR21/F2000's Red Dot Sight are the only gunsight attachments not affected by an EMP.
 * The real life SUSAT has a 4x32 sight picture, which is drastically reduced in-game to the same zoom as the red-dot sight.
