Like prepping for 1.7 in 2025.
Boiiii... PR 1.7 came out like the next day after you said this. They have been doing major updates every 2 years since at least when I started playing, no idea about before.
I would like to see all possibilities, how pitch black dark they could make it with no NVGs, then with NVGs against NVGs. Then NVG vs no NVG. Lots of things could be done to PR night combat situationally.
Hypothetically speaking, no idea what capability it has to be implemented and they likely have no intention to. Night vision against insurgents would be awesome and I am saying this as somebody who plays as INS 99.9% of time, just take away the APCs and have it be infantry. I would like to see weather affect the APC thermals at some point.
Put the fear of "men with green eyes" into them as the Iraqis called the special forces during their night raids. 1 cache could be known at a time in this night layout because of the extreme advantage. I still believe daytime should be 1 cache too.
If the enemy fires using NVG they give off their position unless they use suppressors which IRL especially in special forces house clearing they will want suppressors so the flash doesn't blind them and its not going to make them go deaf. So naturally on a map like Al Basrah at night insurgents would have to draw, hold fire and enemy attention.
I would like layouts where the weapons change set ups based on IRL. At times they had entire units using suppressors which reported increased communication, reduced dust kick up from muzzle blast, contained muzzle flash completely in longer suppressors and helped identifying friendly forces locations by sound of guns.
It reduced the early warning of gunfire for insurgents up to 500 meters away in urban areas, closer if completely masked by the sound location with other nearby louder things than suppressed guns. I can make a list of 1000 things suppressors can do to benefit. Only draw back I can thing of would be jungle warfare deciding between suppressor and bayonet for night time.
Many benefits to using suppressors. Why should the rancher having coyote issues wake up his neighbor at 2 AM in the middle of the got dang night when he could use a suppressor. The yipping coyotes will be louder.
