Lightbulb search lights and fog lights .


it would be cool for night time if you could equip air vehicles with searchlights that make it easier to detect someone like if they step in the light you get a ping on the radar.

also it would be cool to have fog lights for all vehicles for when there is fog.
(if fog wont be included in the weather then add it!) fog should only happen in some areas not the whole map.

This could replace the 3D spotting everyone keeps complaining about.

would be interesting, give players the option to buy fog lights, or brights as headlights in place ofthe tints, or in addition to tints.

would illuminate more area when driving, and cause some sort of disabling effect if shined on someone looking at them, but in return make you a large, brightly lit target

I like the idea of foglights. Maybe just do that and instead of the silly lights the cars have now they could be like high beams and be blinding.

It would be interesting if even the weapon mounted lights were blinding.

no.... blinding flashlights make me think of BF3 and those are annoying and there because there are no flash grenades. PS2 plans on having flash grenades, so weapon flashlights are simply for seeing in the dark.

i could see the weapon mounted flashlights if they blind being abused unless SOE made them only work at night. the vehicle fog lights would illuminate farther distances, and the blinding idea was simply a side thought i had. wouldnt mind lights that simply illuminate farther and across a wider radius with no other benefit

Its about a bit of authenticity. Having a flashlight pointed at you in the dark can be blinding and seems like a fun tactical feature.

And if no to rifle flashlights being blinding ok, but there really is no reason for vehicle lights not to be. Ever looked at oncoming traffic on the road at night? You can see the lights and locate it but not make out its form.
