Hi,

I want to ask how dark it's actually getting in that Area of Sweden where the Game is located and if Nightvision Goggles are requierd for proper Gaming at night?

Since Sweden's located so far north the sun only sets for a few hours during summertime, and the higher up in sweden you get, the less "darktime" you get... In Stockholm we get maybe 2-3 hours of drakness, but up in Härnösand Im guessing that that number would go down to tops 2 hours of darkness (these are only guesses)... so in general, no, it never gets that dark so that one mifght need NODS... I, however, will prob. buy myself a set of Gen 2+ NODs, mainly for my role as an SF operative, but also because I love using NODs and they can prove very handy....

Outdoors in the open on a cloud-free night I would say that NVGs would be a disadvantage for you. However in areas with dense vegetation and plenty of shade or if there are clouds covering the sky you might have a slight advantage during the dark hours with a pair of NVGs.

This picture was taken at 02:30 AM during Berget 3. I know the exposure time is pretty long but the sun is already up so you can imagine that it doesn't get very dark around midnight.

Thermal vision FTW.

NVGs will probably be overkill. At the most, they can be used one hour a day. But even then i can imagine that they are only slightly better than your normal vision.

Northern sweden: The part which is always bright at summer and always dark at winter ^^

Maybe they can be of use inside the fortress in CQB. But ask yourself do you want to use nv-goggles when people are likely to shoot at them from pretty close range?

Thank you for your answers!

So no NVG are needed at Berget!
