You can also make soldiers shoot SABOTs and HEATs and anything from their chest. I assume this is because they forgot to take out the flashlight from the model.

HellToupee 0 Posted December 27, 2001 only a few units get night vision, anyone can get a flashlight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingBeast 0 Posted December 27, 2001 In the miltiary i see absolutely no point of a flashlight. it has zero (yes zero) usefulness. Maybe if this game were CQB (like Rogue spear/Swat3) then sure, or maybe if this game was about patrolling private property (not in a warzone) then fine, flashlgiht would be good. But other than that, cmon. If your in a night mission and using a flashlight, its going to be so easy to shoot at you that you may aswell dro pa grenade next to yourself.

Pandoras Box 1 Posted December 27, 2001 Did you all know allready that the parrachute has also a light in it, go try it in a night mission and push the "L" button and a light pops up at the top of your chute, I think it is funny though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PV 0 Posted December 27, 2001 This reminds me of that old thread.. we could use red lense flashlights (for night map reading) but above all , we need large controllable spotlights on the towers around bases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scooby Posted December 27, 2001 Atleast in Finnish army we had stricht light discpline. No usage of lights outside the tent... Maybe a light for map reading so that light has dimmer on so that you can barely read the map with hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChickenHawk 0 Posted December 27, 2001 You could have an escape and evasion mission with guards hunting u using flashlights. There are uses for a flashlight, dont automatically think that just because some dumb shyt would use it and get shot in combat then its useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iMoRtAliS 0 Posted December 27, 2001 FlashLight are usefull... In a dark wood u trie to see where the f**k is ur CO and you know ur 2 km from ennemy line ill use it... Maybe not in a ennemy infested town at 3 am but they are some situation where it could be use anyway it alerdy implented so why dont they just put it back...

Guest Scooby Posted December 27, 2001 Smoking was something that was allowed at the peace time, ofcourse so that it was done in some cover. Though we were reminded more than often that when real situation would be on it shouldnt be done even if you could hide the light because of the smell. Especially at the basic training I enjoyed watching even the laziest men doing their tasks really quickly and running fast as a wind when they had to get time from somewhere to get to smoke. I didnt smoke so it wouldnt have been such an big problem anyways. "*checks watch*, You've got 60 seconds time to go to smoking place, smoke and report back."

ChickenHawk 0 Posted December 27, 2001 Would be cool if they could get some big searchlights in the lookout towers. We could make some missions based on "The Great Escape." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
