Iron Chef Sakai Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Will Spotting lights or head lights be modeled in night battles? Street lamps ould be a nice touch in town, or burning fires that provide a little allumination and also add to line of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I don't think so only because it seems to me like that isn't something that could easily be incorporated (at least graphically) into the current engine. It sounds like something for the rewrite though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacheldraht Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 The Soviets also used searchlights to disorient German defenders on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacheldraht Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I was thinking of the early-morning attack on the German defenses near the Seelow heights, where, according to When Titans Clashed p.263, they pointed 143 searchlights at the defensive positions, but disoriented their own advancing troops in the process. I.e., I seem to have recalled this incorrectly, though one would imagine the lights could have disoriented the opponents were it not for the smoke of an arty bombardment still hanging in the air.

Generale_Pasquini Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 We have already covered this... any lighting effects; flares, town light, spotlights, are definatly out. Flares were the most "needed" as spotlights and town lights weren't too common. Any town light were wither knocked out or non exsistent due to Russia's "backwardsness"...
