Lights on vehicles

Braveliltoaster · 2012-07-25, 10:25 PM

Now having the feature is pretty cool, and it does help you spot ground troops a little better, but honestly it makes you a glowing beacon at night for aircraft to come and destroy you.

It has more negative uses than positive, what do you think?

Apparently some parts of the map are going to be so dark that you'll need the lights or you won't be able to see anything around you

Apparently, someone thinks aircraft pilots must be blind during the day else head lights in the dark wouldn't be a balance issue.

No, they do not "have more negatives than positive". They're lights. Can you see? No? Then you need a light. If you can see, then don't turn the light on. If you're worried somebody ELSE can see YOU....

TURN THEM OFF!

You're welcome.

Can you turn them off?

Baneblade · 2012-07-25, 11:08 PM

Yes.

@SFJake

Dunno... None of us have played the game yet. I'm sure if you can't we can ask for a light switch.

I'm not even sure infantry can go without lights on their weapons. I know not every video features a light on the rifles, but you have to remember nights never got too dark probably because not every weapon had a light fitted onto it for E3.

Nights are variably dark based on solar movements.

You can turn weapon lights off. Confirmed by Ms. Purrfectstorm at E3. I'm sure that you can turn vehicle lights off as well, or that they'll implement it during Beta.

They mentioned you can turn your headlights on vehicles off.

Dubious · 2012-07-26, 04:14 AM

they said there would be night-vision stuff, so your not forced to use lights..

i believe they are a medication...ie it should take up a slot on the vehicle.

Undoubtedly with a tradeoff, because a 1kg object will totally take the slot something else could fit in.

I say use the flashlight to spoof around a corner and alert enemieso n the other side in the hopes they'll rush around it to find you, but in reality you're crouching in the far corner ready to gun them down when they round it.

Think tactically people.
