AttorneyAtWar Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Now I know 99% of U.S. forces will have night vision but what about Russian and Ukrainian forces? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Hunter Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 They will also deploy nvgs where appropriate, they will however have nvgs that are less capable than the US. This is from a comment I beleive Chris made in his Twitch thread. I don't know if Ukranians will have any nvgs avaliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Russia issues alot of night optics for weapons instead of invgs. Russian reconnaissance troops will be issued invgs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccabe Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 i am pretty sure Chris said that the russians and ukrainians would be using some older type of binocular night vision I think. I went back into the back into the shockforce thread and dug up this Chris said that american forces would get the AN/PSQ-20 but he said nothing about how common they would be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 All of the American forces are getting the new-style NVGs: http://www.army.mil/article/18980/army-fielding-enhanced-night-vision-goggles/ No NVGs for Ukrainian forces, so far as I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccabe Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I guess we will have to wait and see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis258 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 ...or not see. Because it's dark and the c**a in supply sold our night optics on the black market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 For base game the breakdown is like this: All Russian troops have night vision sights for their small arms. Russian brigade recon troops also have night vision goggles. Ukrainian soldiers do not have any NVG, other than a few troops in recon units (typically squad and team leaders) who have night vision sights for their rifles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 There are NVGs in Ukrainian army. Supplied by allies and buyed in hunt shops. Same for the rebels. Don't know how to simulate it in game. May be random 1-2 NVGs per squad in veteran or HQ units? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 ChrisND, The US is explicitly supplying NVGs to the Ukrainians. Several articles state this. June 5, 2014 http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/05/us-sending-advisers-gear-to-ukraine-/10046845/ "Earlier this week, Obama announced he had approved $5 million in body armor, night vision goggles and additional communications equipment for the Ukrainian military." September 18, 2014 Ukrainian President Poroshenko acknowledges receiving NVGs and asks for lethal aid. Speaking in English, he urged the United States to come to the aid of Ukrainian soldiers who are battling with Russian-backed forces in the eastern part of his country. “They need more military equipment, both lethal and nonlethal,” he said. “Please understand me correctly. Blankets, night-vision goggles are also important, but one cannot win the war with blankets.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/19/world/europe/ukraine-leader-urges-congress-to-arm-his-soldiers-against-russia.html?_r=0 Please ignore the woefully wrong URL title below. The correct article's there. November 20, 2014 "U.S. ‘committed’ to aiding Ukraine but seeks progress on government formation, reforms" http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/biden-in-morocco-lauds-us-diversity-but-urges-youths-to-build-their-own-countries/2014/11/20/47243c1e-70b6-11e4-893f-86bd390a3340_story.html NVGs, and other entirely more martial items, are directly authorized in the Ukrainian Defense Support Act of 2014, Section 8, p. 21 et seq. http://www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/UFSA_Bill_Text.pdf Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 John - that is all well and good, but pretty much everything you cite has been triggered by the current crisis which has been explicitly stated by BF on numerous occasions is not the backstory to CMBS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
