Ir pointers and markers

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it would be nice to be able label certain lights as an Infra Red (IR) class meaning they can only be seen with NV goggles and invisible to the naked eye.

Most military strobe lights come with an IR filter (like the strobe thrown on the roof in BH Down) that make the strobes invisible to the eye but highly visible to NV equipment.

In addition, the AN/PEQ on the M4s have a combination laser/IR marker for night ops with NV googles.

Basically some facility to tag lights as IR only would be color.

In fact better NV capabilities in general would be nice...for example...objects the glow white if they are warm....as opposed to just a green filter over the screen. The ability to model our own NV goggles would be nice as well.

Thanks for considering these suggestion BIS :-)

I think this would be a nice affect for special ops... smile.gif

I wouldn't mind seeing small hand held mirrors to flash towards your team member for signalling or something

Seems to be a bit of confusion between IR and UV - most night vision is UV. IR usually needs liquid oxygen canisters to supercool the detector plate in order to pick up the changes in heat. NV works off a battery. Of course there are really high tech versions of IR that dont need cooling like that but I reckon the ones in game are UV.
