Euri Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Playing the 2nd mission of the Russian campaing I notice that all my units (based on the Unit Info Panel) are equiped with NVG. However only the recon unit have them on. The Sappers have them but not wear them (see caputre). Any explanations https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9z2aTq5oxcqYjB3dHdfR1ExTXc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Infantry can have night vision sights on their weapons AND helmet-mounted night vision devices, the former being much more common than the latter particularly with non-US forces. The night vision icon in the UI only represents weapon sights. There is no indicator in the UI that a unit has helmet-mounted NV, so the only way to know is to look at them in low light conditions to see if the individual soldiers have them on the soldier model. In general, nearly all US units have both, Russians have weapon sights but not helmet-mounted except for recon which have both and Ukrainians have neither except for recon which have weapon sights. US NV also tends to be better than Russian since some of their weapon sights are thermal while Russians are all light intensifying except for AT-4c, and AT-14 ATGM teams which have thermal sights on the launchers.
