It is possible, however it is quite buggy and doesn't always get the desired effect people want from them. Tracers and explosions look friggin awesome at night though! :D

or instead of having NV, we could just have a moon lit map. like not having everything completely blacked out but lit enough to tell what is 150-200 meters out from their shadows or outlines.

and (if possible) add in, or replace the artillery, with illumination rounds from the artillery or mortar systems, or even from the grenade launchers (replace the smoke round on those maps).

don't know what things will work because im not a modder or whatever, im just trying to add to Hangnails suggestions.

only an infantry based map, such as Fallujah would work as a night map in my opinion, i just can't see Kashan that much different, unless it wasn't a moonlit night.

About the artillery, FH2 did that to their Operation Hyacinth map. The Commander's artillery was several illumination rounds from rather high caliber shells. They didn't impact the ground but in the midair they turned the night to a day for about half a minute.

I'm pretty sure the system will allow mortar shells to be illuminated aswell.. It's probably just an extra layer on the map which triggers the shells to illuminate. *Shrug*

And night map would make possible to use flare guns but the problem is, what kits have space to have a flare gun...

Make some working night vision goggles and I am sure they will roll out those night time maps.

Yeah it would be pretty cool to have one, despite all the things ppl are saying about night maps.

that's why i suggested to replace the smoke round in the grenadiers kit with an illumination round, so we wouldn't have to make more room in the kit layout.

Night maps sound cool, but they just get annoying in my opinion. People will play and then want the day version again.

Then how about have it as a separate game mode? So that those that feel like playing night maps can just play them.
