DarkStar79 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Is it realistic that Petrovic is useless to target vehicles at night? Or even sometimes at dusk and dawn, when I can clearly see the targets with my eyes. I mean we have NVG goggles? Is there any way to be able to lock targets with Petrovic at night, dusks or dawn?

corn322 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The illumination rockets work pretty well. Shoot from 2 or 3 kilometers out, aim up 20 or 30 degrees. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar79 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ok. For How long are they illuminating?Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldnz Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yeah gonna add to this - seems to be a very particular time of day that petrovich just takes a nap, often when the sun is well up. Wish it used local light levels instead of a simple clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Yes, it is realistic that he can't see at night. How well can you see at night? Even with NVGs, he can't use it looking through scope, so he is unaided. 8 hours ago, ldnz said: Yeah gonna add to this - seems to be a very particular time of day that petrovich just takes a nap, often when the sun is well up. Wish it used local light levels instead of a simple clock. Only explanation I have for this is that ED overdid system light transmission. Every time light goes through a lens it gets absorbed a bit. How much depends on lens quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And realistically Petrovich should see them also. And that’s not the case. So hope they can improve on him.Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Yeah but can you see enough to spot 6m long vehicles against the ground that are often using camouflage at 1-6 km? Or infantry? it’ll spot fine if you launch illumination flares at these minimum altitudes/angles to get the flare above the required 350m Format is Altitude at launch/pitch up at launch/hieght flare is released, if too high it might not light up ground until it’s low enough 0-25m, 10 degrees, 510-535m 25-200m, 7.5 degrees 355-530m 200-400m, 5 degrees, 350-550m 400-575m, 2.5 degrees. 365-540m 575m-700, 0 degrees, 350-475m Edited January 23, 2022 by AeriaGloria 2 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking about targets that are maybe 1 km or less which I can clearly see with my eyes at dusk or dawn and sometimes at night. And petrovich can’t lock them at all. Which I think is very strange. So they really need to work on him.Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk I agree during twilight it seems too extreme, and it seems to be a strict Relation to sunset/sunrise rather then the specific location like if it’s blocked by a hill or something, and who knows if the moon is taken into account or if it even should be 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I was thinking of is that we get varying hours of sunlight based on the time of year (shorter daylight in Winter, longer in Summer, etc) and I wonder if there's a variable in all of the programming that tells the AI what visibility is like based on conditions or if it's just a "It's 6am, the AI can see x miles" type of thing. Definitely one of those things that would be really interesting to learn more about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
