i know its probably impossible without COMPLETELY modifying the game engine. bu what if they made thermal goggles/sights? i mean, a lot of western units such as the m1 abrams, or A10, have FLIR sensors that can pickup units thru all sorts of smoke rain and fog.
but what if you made it so that every unit in a certain range, when the FLIR is activated, "glows" like, using the drop command, a Blur of light is created around the units, and the screen is colored red. i think thatd work great, and look cool.
