Combat use of the infrared-sighted T3 carbine and its effectiveness during the Okinawa campaign was also discussed in Robert Rush’s book GI: The U.S. Infantryman In World War II, “There was a lot of talk about a new weapon some of the members of the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoon were carrying. It looked to many like one of Buck Rogers’ ray guns, with a large dish mounted beneath a … carbine and a large flashlight on top with a power cable leading to a metal box carried in a backpack. They called it a ‘sniperscope’ for good reason, and the Army had developed it for the sole purpose of thwarting Japanese infiltration.
Using this weapon, a soldier could see in the dark to a range of about 70 yds. (64 m), with objects appearing in the scope in various shades of green. About 30 percent of the total Japanese casualties inflicted through rifle fire during the first weeks of the Okinawa operation were from the sniperscope … . Although they were heavy and bulky, it was nice to sit in a concealed position and watch the green images of Japanese soldiers creep forward. A quick blast … and another enemy soldier lay dead. After a few nights, they discovered rain and night illumination tended to cut down the scope’s efficiency.”

that nice but if the pacific map rain (which i dont remember if it does) they might have to make a new graphic or something to “simulate” that and people might think it a bug if they add it that is
Imagine a night battle in Okinawa.
A burnt-out, wrecked town… an American squad with a few T3s…
Japanese soldiers, out of weapons, attacking with bamboo spears and swords under the cover of night…
So, it looks like a game mode like “Ewok Hunt” from Star Wars Battlefront 2 or “Infected” from CoD could be created.

An unique weapon for sure, but whose usefulness in game is nullified by the lack of night battles (and thankfully so).
Also, it reportedly needs a backpack with a power unit, making it akin to a flamethrower in game.

And this is not battlefield and for sure if implemented night vision scope behave like night vision scope here
So
Imo
We need night battle for use night scope, and for dont break the game (or add stupid flare all around the map) night battle need be a separated mode with costum premade squad with all soldier equipped with night vision scope on their weapons
i want a reskin of the m1 carbine
cause the actual looks bad.
and a little increase in rate of fire
nothing more.

Considering the amount of night battles and night raids used by the Soviets and japs, why aren’t night battles in the game?
