Lighting can totally change how some
maps play.
Might be a nice change of pace to change the lighting.
In addition perhaps add more random weather effects(fog, heavy snow, rain). The potential variables(night with fog, day with snow, dusk with rain) could really shake up the map rotations and being a slew of whole new experiences to existing maps.
Of course the majority of matches would be as they are now so pilots can have fun. Just occasionally change things up.
I meant to add that flare pistols(for night battle) could be added to some classes to make them more useful to squad. Radiomen, snipers, etc.
main problem is bots are the majority in most matches. also it would hafta be something you can toggle to not be queued for
Not sure how bots work but perhaps cut down their visual alert to enemy distance for low lighting?
Also perhaps alter bots alert to directional audio cues(foot steps, nearby vehicle sounds) more with low light maps? They would simply look around or look in direction of audio cue.
For Berlin this would be so cool, but so one sided, which as someone who plays soviet doesnt mind.
Vampir STG44 (nightvision)
Panther G with nightvision
For moscow we could give the soviet BT7 their nightvision device
Id start with different weather instead. Because right now there’s problems with lighting: sometimes there’s nuclear bloom, other times it’s tar black…
Let’s start with rainy or snowy battles!
I like the more weather idea but I can’t agree to different time of day for the so reason of I like being able to see
Not a fan. Zovad map in BF4 at night almost everyone runs w flir and it defeats the purpose.
Now spot lights, flares and light from fires, lightning or explosions is a different story. Perhaps Engineers could build spot lights for night battle.
When Fortified district was introduced for the first time they said that the snow storm can be implemented on other maps too in the future. So hopefully we will see that happen someday.
forward looking infrared is for planes and possibly tanks. its available in bf4?
And no one would build spotlights. No one would start to carry molotovs.
If there is a darker map, make it just dusk, therefor being some light. Also allow people to use pocket flashlights that could reach up to 10m
Yes I really live this map For that weather effect reason. How the snow flurry gets bad then better randomly. Very immersive and nicely changes how the map plays.
itd be nice to have that kinda screen resolution and graphics quality
It looks way better than what we have now…
Night battles In berlin were amazing in alpha.
There is also a night set in normandy d day presented in one of the early blogs of this game.
Mornings and evenings tops but darkness no pls ^^
Its hard enough to see in moscow houses, aka its pitch black there 
Thing is that medium to “large”-scaled battles in the night were not common for obvious reasons. Most of time those battles were infantry-based raids or infiltrations (and we already have dawn and dusk maps in Russia iirc).
