@ricp: first i wanted to answer with the same "sarcasm" i saw it is used here a lot... then i have reconsidered. here is my answer... first of all i do thank you for your input. but that was NOT a debate. i just wanted to post 2 of my ideas and i was'nt doing for the sake of arguing. period. second: i do suggest that you should use a NVG at least once. if you think that it transforms night into day (with no down side) then you seem to have used one that not even US army have yet. if you don't have one at hand right now, do the following test: take a toilet paper cardboard tube, stick it to your eye and go outside in daylight and try to live like that in a city for an hour. that will suffice. people generally tend to think that NVG in real life are behaving like NVG in pc games. they have a lot of downsides you know...go outside with one on the country side and with a cloudy night, in a forest you will be blind literally. right... you will be better with a flashlight. i have the latest gen3 SFK model (special forces kit) with tube made in december 2012 and believe me it is not the same as walking outside in daylight, even if i just have to consider the field of view not to mention light issues/resolution. third: since this is a survival game/exercise how come you people are so selective? there are helicopters alowed to be had (later i presume) and all sort of weapons and vehicles in a post apocalyptic world but the NVG are not around ???(these are INCREDIBLE simple devices although expensive because of the intensifier itself but very very hard to break). Even Russia (where the action takes place) have A LOT of last generation NVG and even if they do not compare 1:1 with latest ITT and L3 tubes they are still good and efficient. I suppose the place should not be a problem since a lot of US technology made it up in the game anyway... last: if this game is about a scenario in a post-apocalyptic world i think those who just said NO should think about the rest of the things that should be "NO" in this game. all the firearms for that matter... it is harder to find a firearm than to find a NVG. in real life that is... later edit: @Rickenbacker thank you. those were my youth days... i am very much alive and seems to stay that way now...
