Please allow for more nighttime battles on conflict servers

Please allow for more night time battles on the official conflict servers. By that I mean slower time acceleration and more mission starts that are time around dusk or deep in the night.

Because

 

• Night time offers the tactical choice of keeping your flashlights off or to use tracers to show your friends what you shoot at (with the trade off of the enemy seeing it too)
• It adds to the gameplay of coordination and teamplay because of the extra effort needed to coordinate among the more disorienting things

 

I would like also like to sugges to NOT make night vision a part of conflict mode, because once they are added to the game it will be like all previous arma games: no one will have a night battle anymore, it will all just be green, and that would then give the developers an incentive to not work on night time graphics or night time gameplay anymore. Also no one would use flares, and no one will even dare go out of base unless they equipped night vision goggles.

 

 

Reforger is basically the first fps game where dark nights are a solid part of the game and not just a backdrop for a "zero dark thirty" fantasy.

the novelty quickly wears off very fast so it wouldn't be a very well liked mode
maybe when they add a more comprehensive and realistic night vision/night sight
with being able to turn off infrared light emitters on the night vision
and the cost will prolly be very high in conflict
and flares/ lights would all but blind night sight equipment and even as to so far to damage it

I don't think night vision is on the roadmap.

there is nothink stopping them from adding more to the road map and nothing has been said to my knowledge about it stopping at the current road map , and given to timeframe of/and intention of reforger there is a good chance that arma four wont be release till past 2026
given that they are completely reworking and remastering arma from the ground up with an entirely new game engine and everything in reforger is meant to just be ported to arma 4 they will prolly want to still add a few things like, tracked vehicles physics, plane flight models, boat physics and anti air missle physics
and lastly from what i remember they are working on two other games atm

I don't think it would wear off. Night battles are fun because of the extra confusion and all the tracers. If nvg would be added then even price would not be able to balance it, because everyone would just camp in the base until they can afford nvg.

Also the game looks very nice at night with the different light sources. And the tactical choices, like using a car to illuminate an area, or using light signals to communicate.
