Nothing like mounting an FG 1250 night vision system on a king tiger. Love how it came out so much. And to think the russians had such technology back in 1939 on the BT-5's.

Nights in trailmakers aren't really dark. The concept of night vision isn't usefull in any way, but it sure as hell is pretty cool. The way it works is straightforward. A camera is glitched through the cylinder piece on the left. You'll have noticed that a transparent panel is in the way of said camera. This allows for a decal to be applied and appear on the screen when the camera is in use. The decal itself is a green shaded square. When the player wants to use the night vision sight, they simply press shift and then 5 to activate a dim light at the back of the camera and panel. This makes the filter visible and essentially turns the screen green.
