greyeyes Posted February 18, 2000 Share Posted February 18, 2000 I was wondering about using TACOPS for night missions. Something that the Army trained for. Is it possible to do this by setting the observation distance to very low numbers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmaidhof Posted February 18, 2000 Share Posted February 18, 2000 Yes it night/limited visibility ops can be replicated. Reduce the "manual" visibility to whatever distance you feel is attainable for your mission, taking into account moonlight, cloud cover, and/or other ambient light sources. Leave your thermal sight capability on. btw, there is also a good cpx description of a limited visibility recon scenario. It is in the AAR section on the tacops page. Unfortunately, I do not recall the name of that specific report. Perhaps James Sterrett or one of the other participants could give you more info on that. ------------------ Semper Fi, Pete mar03 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Sterrett Posted February 18, 2000 Share Posted February 18, 2000 <a href=http://www.battlefront.com/resources/tacops/HQ/text/CPX/cpxaars/gagetown.txt>Recce Battle at Gagetown</a> was the CPX. There are things that don't work right for a night battle - no illumination, no spotting firing units beyond normal visibility. But you can get an approximation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
