dpabrams Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Last night I set up a night mission with some M60A3's. The first thing I noticed is that the speeds were very slow on roads, even when set to march, top speed and column. No matter with fast or top speed, it seemed the speed remained what I would call "slow". So, I thought switch to the driver position and speed it up, which worked, however the driver did not have NVG's so this was a problem in the dark (under options, NVG was checked). The exposed commander had NVG's as did our scout driver's in their M113A2's. It's a nice effect cruising along as a drover or commander in the green haze. I get that speeds should be slower at night but these M60's were creeping at less than 10 Kph I would say no matter what I set the route speed to. When I tested M1's they ran faster, but slower than they would in day time. I also noted that I could not seem to get my M60 platoon into line formation. It seemed almost a permanent wedge, with lead tank always on point and well ahead of the other three (4 tank platoons). Any ideas?, Should I attach the scenario? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sure they weren't doing "Scout"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Don't believe they are on "scout" and dammit I went back to test it and my joystick is not being detected by the sim...........................shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Things drive slowly in SB at night, ive encountered this too, i believe its just how it is unfortunately. You can try changing the time of day/night to be a little brighter, ive been able to set it such that you can use the NVG's and drive at normal speeds (early morning), but its light soon, so only limited time with NVG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSe419E Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am of the opinion that the drivers are not receiving the benefits of NVG when that is selected. Driving at night becomes a snail paced exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted January 17, 2018 Members Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, faster driving with NVGs is on the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpabrams Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Something seems amiss here. From the driver's view I can get NVG views in the M901, M113A2 and M60A3. I have not figured out the exact sequence for any but "zooming" while in the driver's view, hitting the "TIS" button and "going up" in the hatch works, most of the time in the M60A3. Zooming from the closed hatch view of the M113 series and hitting "TIS" works also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSe419E Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Driver's passive sight on an M60A3 is a periscope that goes through the driver's hatch. I don't think tanks were issued personal NVGs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted January 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yes, there seems to be a bug there that were aware of. We will look into it at a higher priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
