As you are aware, some soviet/russian tanks are equipped with ATGM jammer called “Shtora-1” (some people call it the “red eyes”)
How about implement it into a game as a visual effect: If you turn this option on in settings, you will see the bright red light if tank is equipped with the Shtora’s-1
(the thing is that while playing Night battles, when you use NVD and look at tank using Shtora’s, you see a bright light - this gives out the location of the tank anyways so i don’t see a change why the “eyes” should not glow red when not using the NVD system - the tank is visible anyways and i don’t see any logic for players to not use NVD in Night battles)
NVD on - bright light in the distance
NVD off - red light in the distance (nothing changed)
And you could always turn this setting off which would disable the “red eyes” effect but will keep the bright light while using NVD system (as intended)
I just think that it would be cool lol
