Flashlights are non existent again!

The lighting on the Flashlight is HORRIBLE again. OR is the Army issuing that bad of a light?

Please address. We quit playing the other day because you simply cannot see with them (this was an issue early on, then was addressed). If I am standing outside and have a mounted FL on my rifle, I am going to pierce the night with that light and see into the house. Not the case now.

Thank you for reading..

Thanks, chef.

Is it flashlights in general, or something more specific (shining through windows from outside, for example)?

Re: Flashlights are non existent again!

For me, the flashlight has never been strong enough to see into a house from the street. It's really only useful for CQB. It would be cool if you shined the light through the door FROM THE STREET and saw a tango.

I run down a street from cover to cover passing doors and windows for the sole purpose of drawing fire to see if tangoes are in certain buildings. This feels very goofy as it's not something a soldier would do. Just letting us see into the front areas of a house from the street with a flashlight could even the playing field a bit. Sometimes you can see movement inside house from the street but a lot of times you can't.

We mostly locate tangoes inside building from tracer fire but that can be a bit suicidal.
