At a 50 yard distance, I'm thinking they'd provide similar performance with regard to resolution of the target image, with the LT having a much narrower FOV. yes, half but one has to remember a 320 core actually is 4x better than the 160.
And a 640 is 4x better than a 320.
160x120 = 19,200 pixels
320x240 = 76,800 pixels
640x480 = 307,200 pixels
So yes 160 is only half of 320 in one measurement. But you cant forget its half again on the other side. Since its a square screen.
So the total number of pixels increases by 4 times more each time u go up in resolution.
So a 160x120 core is only going to have 25% of the amount of pixels a 320 is going to have. Technically a 320 core is 75% better than the 160 and so forth.
Look thru ur current 320 core and imagine removing 75% of the pixels and u can start to realize just how horrible of an idea this new ATN is going to be.
