Don't have all the posts read as there's too much stuff there, but having an individual "vision" rating for each weapon would be fantastic. Maybe it's hard/impossible to do... hopefully not.

As it's now, a unit that has TI equipment can fire all its weapons using the TI. As an example during night when Leo 2 gunner fire his L44 and MG3 using TIS, the loader will not fire his MG3 accurately into the darkness because he has no TIS in his weapon. And the gunner won't waste time and energy into "leading" the loaders fire into the target... Same with a recce section with a handheld Thermal Imager - using that the section can see in the dark - but not fire their weapons accurately, if they got image intensifiers on their rifles, as the TI is not a sight, just like a guy with binoculars is not a sniper.

Mainly because a unit has one TI rating for all weapons, it's now an über unit. Using the recce section as an example, having section visibility as 40 (TI) the unit can do its work, recon, even in the lowest visibilty. But the section's Assault Rifle has vision of 15 (II sight) which enables him to fire only 15 hexes. And as the M72 LAW has no night sight, it means the LAW cannot fire more than the vision setting currently (which can be less than LAW effective range).
