The problem is that the light engine of ArmA can create very easily situations that are as pitchblack as a bunker without energy. That's just a fact. A moonless night at 0:30 with 50%+ overcast simply IS unplayable without NVG or a light source. Everybody can test with the editor which time/weather combinations are hardly or unplayable. Somehow the bengal fires need to be reworked as well. Using them in an unplayable dark night is not very pleasant. Only red flickering and sparkles on the screen and makes you almost unable to see anything while you are aiming with the pistol. It would be better to remove the bengal fires and replace them by a torchlight for which batteries have to be used. So that you have a light cone as with the M4A3. That torchlight even might be attached to the forehead.
