Default Re: Night vision

Yes. A unit's "vision" number is the number of hexes that unit can see (if the visibility is lower). ie if visibility is 3 and my unit has vision 10 they can "see" 10 hexes. 40+ is Thermal Imaging and can also see through smoke.

From the Mobhack guide:

Vision/TI/GSR - numbers over 0 are night fighting vision devices. Approximately 20 for most vehicle IR searchlights, 30 for Image Intensifiers or LLTV systems, Infantry systems tend to be in the 10 to 15 range. Values of 40 or more have the special ability to look through smoke - units with 40 plus vision have Thermal Imaging (TI) sights, ranges of 50 or so on represent Ground Surveillance Radars (GSR). Label changes and colour changes if TI vision is granted.
