Euri Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Testing a scenario I am working on I realised that the weather condition has a huge effect on night vision. For the moment I have tested only night/clear vs night/mistOn open terrain a US squad is advancing towards a stationery Russian recon squad (to have NVG)Night / Clear: US squad sees the enemy at 550m. The russians at around 350mNight / Mist: US squad sees the enemy at 550m. The Russians at 50-60 meters (!?) Update: With fog is even worse for Russians. US spots as usual at 0,5 km distance. Russians at 40m! Edited October 24, 2015 by Euri 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirTarasov Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yeah, Every US squad is issued a thermal optic for some reason, Our boys are left with regular NVG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euri Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Sure, but is it accurate that NVG suffers so much degradation from mist and fog? I wonder how an NVG equiped unit would do against one without NVG during night under same conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the US squad straight infantry or some kind of recon/scout type unit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerpanic Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 One of the thing i dont like with the timeline of the game. The usa end up with a lot of tool that they still dont have plenty of right now that give them the upper hand almost every time. sure russian and ukr is the same thing but they are still the underdog by a lot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euri Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Russian Recon squad (with NVG) stationary. US infantry squad advancing towards the Russians at move pace (closing 50m at each turn ). Cover arcs set at 50m to prevent opening fire.

LukeFF Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Keep in mind that (1) the helmet-mounted NVGs the US uses are a combination thermal/nvg device, while (2) the helmet-mounted NVGs used by Russians are of an older generation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Also think in terms of how the systems work anyway. Most NVGs are simply aplifying a different flavor of light waves. If it's something that reflects light effectively, it'll mess with NODs pretty badly. Heat still transmits fairly effectively through mist and fog (especially when dealing with active heat sources like a human body). This is one of the reasons why US infantry is being outfitted with the combo thermal/passive IR type devices, and why weapons mounted thermal optics are employed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euri Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Ok! When we talk about MIST in CMBS it should be something like very thik like from a horror movie! (although my graphics card does not show any effect). I did the test again with Russian Recon (with NVGs) approached by a Ukrainian squad (no NVGs). The Russians spottted first at 30 meters and the Ukrainians at 20 meters or less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
